Dolly Outraged Over Howard Stern Prank

Dolly has expressed outrage over a recent prank on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show when the shock-jock aired a lewd segment featuring Dolly’s voice. The segment featured audio taken from Dolly’s audiobook and was edited to create vulgar and racist sound bites using her voice. Dolly fired back today at the radio host by saying, “I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life. I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this. If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it’s going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this.”

    Dolly,

    Don’t you give this another second of you time. Anyone with even the slightest of hearing ability can detect the “doctoring” of this audio clip.

    The less you say….the less pulicity he garners. Keep your beautiful head held high. Those that known you all these years know the character of your spirit. God will take care of the rest. It’s not up to us to defend our reputation.

    Much love and respect!!!

    Dolly,

    I am sitting here shaking my head at what has been done. I am sorry that Howard Stern thought he could pull one over on you and that he thought he could get away with it also. Sorry because he really has no idea what a strong woman he’s dealing with. You go girl!

    I’m sorry that you have to deal with this on top of your own tragic loss. Some people have a sick sense of humour. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friends, and family at this time.

    Keep being strong,

    Your fan in London Ontario

    Anyone who actually heard this episode, or listened to Howard Stern with an open mind would know these clips were CLEARLY doctored. It’s a running gag on Howard’s show and he does it with EVERYONE. He has done it with Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Johnny Carson and the list goes on.

    The audio clips are so choppy and so obviously manipulated, that I can’t grasp how ANYONE with half a brain could actually believe Dolly would say these things.

    Everyone needs to get a sense of humor, or at least listen to the show more intently before getting so bent out of shape.

  4. Steve Says:

    Dolly – you have every right to sue Stern, but don’t feel the need to apologize for him; it’s not your fault Stern is low-bred, contemptible trash. I’ve listened to your music for years, and I loved you in 9-5. I also read that you were one of Ronnie Milsap’s greatest supporters. Your class shows through and through. With or without a lawsuit, you’re a WINNER. No one can take that away from you.

  5. Lisa Says:

    I also agree with applying the old saying “consider the source” in this case. Most people know that Howard Stern is probably the closest representation of a complete and total idiot as you can get. I encourage you to seek legal counsel and file a lawsuit. People all over the country would applaud you for just holding him accountable, if nothing else. Maybe if he had to take a little forced time off he would contemplate using his energy to do some meaningful work instead of being such a total waste of a human being.

  6. Rhea Says:

    Dolly Honey,
    I cannot believe he did something so horrible to you. I truly feel you are one of the Queens of country music and deserve the upmost respect and reverance for all you have achieved. You are a living legend and continue to inspire up and coming musicians as well as many little girls. Hold your head up and know that noone believes you would ever say such. Sue his pants off and know that you are one hundred precent in the right! Maybe the higher ups of the radio world will be forced to put Howard Stern out on his butt where he belongs. Other shock jocks have been punished for such slander, he did the same as them and I think deserves the same punishment.
    We love you down here in Panama City Florida. God bless you!

  7. Paul Says:

    OMG that was the best. I laughed my butt off. You need to loosen up Dolly. Its really not a huge deal. Everyone knows that you are a kind person and that it was just a joke. Everyone is so uptight in the world today. Lets all just roll with the punches. You have to admit…it was very funny. Howard will not and should not be punished for that bit. In fact Dolly…you are gonna get others listening to it becuase of your whinning. So take a pill!

  8. Sybil Says:

    I agree with all that have commented so far except Mike, that is NOT humor, decent people don’t like to hear it, much less speak it. I have NEVER listened to Howard Stern and NEVER will. I heard he was trash and filth and I wonder how someone like that can have a show. He should be shut off the airwaves. Just know that your fans love you and stand behind you and know you are the sweetest, kindest person around.

  9. Jessica Says:

    Is Dolly partially retarded? No one would even had known about this even she didn’t make a stink about it. I love you girl, but what you just did was beyond dumb.

  10. Kim Says:

    The important point here is that Dolly was upset and humiliated. She is due an apology. Maybe if people embraced more of her values and morals, and less of those of people like Stern, our world would be a better place. Call me old fashioned….

  11. Robert Says:

    Dolly go buy a sense of humor.

    It was just a joke. No one believes that you actually said any of those things. Your super clean and wholesome image is still intact.

  12. sandy Says:

    Dolly dear…anyone who knows you will not be so foolish to believe you were a participant in this idiocy.
    Howard Stern lives and breathes to humiliate people…I see his actions as jealousy for the integrity you possess and he can only dream about. Afterall he is a “shock jock” not a man who speaks from intelligence, intuition or inspiration as you do.
    I hope and pray for once the FCC will take this seriously and shut him down.
    You are in my prayers..keep the faith…Sandy proud to be a Tennessee Hillbilly

  13. Kathy Says:

    Dolly,

    You “get him”. You are a classy lady who is not only a living legend in country music but a wonderful lady who isn’t afraid to talk about her faith and morality. It is time believers stand up and defend their reputations.

    Remember what Joseph told his brothers that meant harm to him.
    Genesis 50:20
    You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

  14. Bubba the Love Sponge Says:

    Jeez, anyone would have known this was a rib! Learn how to work kid!

  15. Fiona Says:

    I agree that everyone has a different sense of humor and what is funny to some is not necessarily funny to others. Of course, anyone who knows Dolly, knows she would not say those things but some people out there will believe ANYTHING. And yes, Howard is a detestable slug of human being. What we need to remember is that a joke is only funny until someone gets hurt. There’s more to this than just Dolly’s feelings. She adored Johnny Carson and is friends with Kenny and Burt and has collaborated thru the years with Linda (don’t know that they are friends though) and to think the people at the Howard Stern show thought it would be funny to hear her say such groteseque things about such a wonderful man.

    The same people that think this is funny are probably the same people that picked on the fat kids at school, or the gay kids, or the handicapped kids..and thought it was funny even though someone’s feelings got hurt.

    The biggest revenge would be to turn this incident into a smash hit song like Coat of Many Colors and show Stern that she can play hardball, but with class and dignity! Of course, suing him will work as well. Someone needs to shut this loudmouth idiot up and it might as well be the Queen of Country Music that does it!

    Howard Stern is not funny and he has absolutely no talent, why else would he need to take potshots like this? He’s actually a sad, pathetic, little man with no talent and needs to spend his time making others ‘look’ bad to satisfy his own gross sense of humor. I’ve never had the desire to listen to him and this indicent ensures that I never will.

  16. Lifetime Dolly Fan Says:

    I plan on canceling my Sirius Radio plan immediately. I suggest everyone else that read this do the same, and when I do as a customer for over 3 years I am going to tell them why.

  17. Mary Says:

    DITTO Fiona’s comment. The only thing I can add to that it,it’s not just that he did this to Dolly, it’s that he does this to alot of celebrities. A person has to be pretty shallow to think that this type of humor is funny at the expense of making others look SO bad. These comments weren’t even funny, they were TOTALLY disgusting. Some one should do a “piece” on Mr. Stern and make him look like a decent human being. That would probably crush him and the audience that listens to him. :)

  18. Abby Says:

    Dolly, go after Stern….

    joke or not….it’s a form of libel and slander to use your voice to say things you did not say and PUBLICIZE it.

    If they were just funny statements one might laugh and look the other way, these are not funny, they are totally trash and evil…

    we’ll all support you.
    p.s. Get Kenny on your side too!

  19. Beverly Wilson Says:

    Dolly,
    Scum like Howad Stern has for too long spewed his filth and gutter
    mentality on the air waves. Don’t take this Dolly….Don’t let him distort any part of your work or your life. He gives nothing of good to this world, he needs to be stopped from this distruction.
    I have long been a “live and let live” person, but he needs to be off the air, apologies don’t cut it. Take this scum down by whatever means is most effective.

  20. franny campbell Says:

    Dolly, I believe that you should do something about what Howard Stern did. I hope and pray that someone can stop people from doing and saying such horrible things. I don’t see what is so funny about some of the things he said and if people in this country or this world think it’s funny than we really have a problem. BECAUSE THIS IS JUST SICK. Please with the Lords help stop this. YOU CAN DO IT.

    IN CHRIST
    Franny campbell

  21. Terri Says:

    Dolly, I think you should go after that repulsive man and make a point that will hit him the hardest, in his pocket. It is clear that Howard Stern will do anything for money. How about suing him to make a point and then donating the winnings of the lawsuit to charity? Would make a good thing out of a disgusting one. Just a thought.

    Anybody who has even a little smarts knows (without even listening to the doctored editing) that there is no way on earth such repulsive statements would come out of Dolly Parton’s mouth. Dolly, you are an incredibly classy lady and I have always been a fan!

    Hugs and support from Oregon

  22. J. Hammond Says:

    Dolly,
    I tried to listen to the tape Howard made, but I cut it off. Anyone that knows you, or your fans that follow your career, knows that you didn’t say those awful things. Even though it is a lot of your time and money to sue, I think you should make Howard pay. You can always donate the money to charity. He should be held accountable for what he says. I don’t listen to him because he does not have morals, and has a fithy mouth. Your famil, friends and your fans will stand behind you 100%. We don’t beleive that you could say anything that was on that tape. So, don’t sweat it, but make him pay.

  23. Bruce Fidler Says:

    Dolly,
    When I read the post on this, the only thoght that came to mind was… Howard who??

    ‘Nuff said.

  24. Pam B Says:

    I think it is terrible that people think that what Howard Stern puts on the air is funny. I find it sad that there are people in the world who find humor in the downgrading of others. I feel Howard Stern is a big contributor to the lack of respect people have for one another today. There has to be some kind of law that prevents someone from doing what he did to Dolly. He should be held accountable for his actions and I seriously hope that Dolly is successful in a lawsuit against Howard Stern for what he’s done. It would be a good thing if enough people canceled their Sirius contracts because of Howard Sterns actions in this matter, causing him to once and for all be banned from spreading any more of his filth. I truly hope he gets more than a fine, which he can well afford, or a brief suspension, which will only allow him to come back and pick up where he left off. Let’s finally put a stop to the slander that celebrities seem to get away with all to easily. Dolly you have my support.

  25. kimbers Says:

    Go get him Dolly!

    We’ve got your back!

  26. Diana White Says:

    Hey Dolly,
    I am a country girl myself and I have been to your concerts and Dollywood and watched you on T.V. and anybody that knows ANYTHING about you will most assuredly know that Howard stern is just plain crazy and you would never say any of those terrible things.
    I think you are wonderful and you shouldn’t even have to waste another second of your time on that disgusting man. You just hang in there and know that your fans know what you are really about.

    Your just the greatest and you go get him girl!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Lukus Says:

    Dolly,
    Your real true fans know how you are so much better than that worthless piece of trash howard.
    We all love and adore you.
    Sue the trash for all he’s worth.

    LOVE WE YOU DOLLY !!!!!

  28. A respectful Stern Fan Says:

    Just a couple of points before everyone flies off the handle…

    1. There is no basis for a lawsuit here. The bit on the show is protected as parody. In order to sue, Dolly would have to prove that people could mistakenly take these statements seriously. Even a casual fan of Dolly’s would never do that.

    2. Alongside being a wonderful singer/songwriter, Dolly is an amazingly savvy business woman. A little feud with someone like Stern is great for her national profile. When was the last time she was a national news story.

    3. Just because someone has a different or darker sense of humor than you doesn’t mean they are a bad person or that they are filled with hate. To judge everyone that listens to Stern based on that is to be guilty of the exact same intolerence you attribute to him.

    I listen to Stern. I am not a country music fan, but I loved Dolly in 9 to 5 and thought Islands in the Stream was a great song. It’s a big world out there and there is room for all sorts of people with all sorts of tastes. Please don’t hate what you don’t understand, I am sure Dolly would agree with that.

  29. David Says:

    I heard this “audio book” on Youtube. And Yes I know that is was spliced together and you can tell that it is fake. But, it is very disrespectful!

    To be mean and disrespectful to such a great person is outragous!!

    Ms. Dolly, You deserve all the respect and you do not deserve this mental abuse by Howard Stern!

    Sincerely,
    David!

  30. RUNT Says:

    DOLLY, THIS IS JUST UNREAL, I PERSONALLY WOULD MAKE SURE THIS NON HUMAN NEVER DOES THIS AGAIN. HE HAS TAMPERED WITH COPYWRITTEN MATERIAL AND HAS COMMITTED A CRIME!

    FROM: A FRIEND OF P. STAMPER @ RENFRO VALLEY

  31. J In Florida Says:

    Well I say sue the daylights out of him!! Get him off the air, he is just ridiculous. He has absolutely nothing positive to contribute to the world, always cutting and bringing people down. If the lawsuit doesnt work maybe a bunch of us can load up and go over and give him a good county ass kicking!!

    We all love you Dolly!!

  32. Al Says:

    I’m so glad you are suing his nasty ass!

  33. Richard Says:

    I have never been a fan of Howard Stern.And his lastest filth he created using Dolly Parton’s audio clips is disrespectful and shows why I will never listen to him.I think an apology should be given out by Howard Stern.I’m a country boy thru and thru and I love country music and bluegrass.I have always been a fan of Dolly and she is one of the main reasons why I took lessons to play the acoutic guitar,mandolin and 5 string banjo.My family loves Dollywood and Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains.Dolly your an inspiration to many and your kindness has helped many more.Your a living legend my dear and no shock jock can tarnish your good name.Don’t feel the need to apologize for what he has done.God Bless You Dolly Parton stay strong and don’t ever stop smiling.

  34. laura Says:

    ms parton…donot back down..howard stern is a pig and will always be one and be on the air until someone finally puts him down…you are powerful enough to do this…i believe this…he denegrates women, laughs at us and is generally hateful of us all…please do this for all women…i am so sorry this happened to you, but it may be a good thing if you can stop him…i stand along side you always…

  35. Shelley Says:

    Even though she is a celebrity, and even though he is untouchable by the FCC, there are still defimation, libel and slander laws protecting everyone—even celebrities, irregardless of freedom of speech, which is every American’s constitutional right. However, given the character and mentality of Stern as well as the purpose for which he and his efforts stand, the sooner someone can make an example of him by successfully proceeding with court action (as well as those who commence similar violations), a little more respectable the world will become. If the courts do end up making an example of him then perhaps others would think twice before committing the same infraction. Unfortunately, the village is full of idiots just like him…

  36. a friend Says:

    dolly dont even let that bother you. everyone knows you are to good to people. so dont let that ass hole ruen your day. hope to see you soon.as mammaw would say there will be no place in heaven for someone like that. be safe we miss ya

  37. Dale Says:

    To Robert, “…….Dolly go buy a sense of humor.

    It was just a joke.”

    Wouldn’t the ‘joke’ be on you to hear stern say something about you sleeping with your father? Guess you wouldn’t be concerned with your reputation.

  38. Scott Says:

    If anyone though the audio clips Howard Stern played were even close to real you must either have not heard them or you are severly retarded.
    For and someone whose career was founded on having large breasts, I would have thought Dolly would be able to understand a little humor.
    Stern spent 5 minutes playing these clips. The only reason most of Dolly’s fan even know they exist is because she has spent days crying about it. Maybe a lawsuit against someone high profile like Howard Stern is just what Dolly needs to get back into pop culture.

  39. brown eyes Says:

    Whether it involved Dolly’s voice or anyone else’s, I don’t find racist jokes or sexually vulgar “jokes” about “little boys” (ie children) funny. I doubt Dolly cares to hear the sound of her voice uttering these types of things even if she knows it’s fake and so does the world.

    It’s one thing if Howard Stern uses his own voice to do racist and vulgar jokes, but to take another person’s voice to do them is over the line. If he wanted to do a parody, why something so extreme. There are plenty of things he could have had her saying. These things are sick. They conjure up sickening images of respectable people doing vile things.

    I’m sure Dolly is embarrassed for her friends and the late Johnny Carson whom she had great respect for and did so much for her career. She may not have grounds to sue, but she still has a right to be hurt and humiliated like she said she was, and for that, someone owes her at the very least an apology.

  40. ROBERT R BOOEY Says:

    OMG, people made fun of Dolly Parton. What a world, what a world.

    Seriously, although a lot of people did find the joke funny, a lot of people still did.

    There’s no basis for a lawsuit.

  41. Mike Vincent Says:

    I don’t know what he said, because I don’t listen to that scumbag. I am confident that it wasn’t something that you would have said. You are not even close to that “low” of an animal. Your fans, such as myself, would never believe any of that crap, expecially coming from a stupid jerk like that. Some day all of that filth and garbage that he spits out will come back to haunt him. I am no angel by no means, but I don’t care to listen to trash like him. I would much drather spend my money and listen to a person that I admire such as you. He is just like a pile of cow dung out in a field, you just side step him and go on. Ignoring him hurts him more than anything else. He does this to shock people and gain higher ratings on his show. He really is a sick person, rich, but sick.

  42. Ann Says:

    Dolly, get Howard Stern off the air once and for all! He warps the general life view of all of regular listeners. I don’t like his attitude or interpretation of “Free Speech” in the USA, I think it gives many people the wrong idea about what freedom of speech is intended for.
    Since my brother-in-law started listening to him regularly, he has become a certifiable, woman-hating nut case.
    My sister insists Howard Stern dress in women’s black undies with fish net stockings and is therefore unworthy of credulity.
    GET TOGETHER AND SUE HOWARD STERN!

  43. Gary Says:

    Go forth with the lawsuit if viable, but better is to get the Sirius subscribers to vote with their feet (subscritions) until they dump Stern. I mean comedy is comedy but Stern doesn’t even come close to funny raunch … get rid of him Sirius!

  44. Paul Ohms Says:

    Howard is a King. He can not be taken down. Many have tried and many have failed. Man, Howard has a hot chick by the way. Ok back to Dolly. Dolly should stop making a huge deal over nothing. Loosen up for heavens sake. Did I mention that Howard is a king? Artie is HUGE and Gary has huge teeth? hahahaha. It was a joke, get over it already.

  45. Nathalie from Belgium Says:

    Dear Dolly
    I have lots of humor but the show of Howard Stern was very very very low. It was nothing to laugh about !
    If people would say those things in our country on the radio it would be a very big issue ! I don’t understand why Howard let other people say things they don’t want to say ! I also don’t understand that there are people who liked the show, have they no respect for other people !
    Dolly go Girl and lots of Succes with everything you do !!!
    Lots of Love Nathalie & Family

  46. colleen Says:

    I have just listened to the garbage that Howard Stern made up concerning your book- you are a wonderful person – I have only
    had the privledge of seeing you once but it was memorable.
    We must feel sorry for people like him- he has no talent and is very unhappy with himself. This is the only way he can get the attention someone in his mental state needs to survive.
    The only people he attracts are as ill as he is.
    forgive and pray for him he is in dire need of prayers.
    I am so sorry for the pain this has caused you but beleive me no one is gooing to pay attention to it. Him doing this has tarnished him more than he realizes. The degenerates that listen to him are not your fans . God Bless you in ths battle

  47. Susan Says:

    Dolly,
    I have not heard this thing that was done by Howard Stern, but I can say that he does not deserve the attention that he is getting from all this. This attention is why he does it. As my grandma always said, consider the source and ignore it. He is not worth a moment of your time, or worry. People realize what he is, not equal to a pimple on your butt!

  48. Mary M. Says:

    Dolly,
    Howard Stern is trash and all of your adoring fans know that he made it up and you would never say such things. I refuse to listen to it, but baased on what I have read about it, I believe you have a right to be hurt and upset, I would be if someone made my voice say those horrible things. I don’t know if suing him is hte right answer, but I know you’ll do what is right, whatever that may be.

    And to those who posted comments about it being a joke and being..funny?… How can trash like that be funny to anyone with a sense of morality. If you think it is funny then you are trash just like Howard Stern. Wait until the “joke” is on you and see how you feel!

    I love you Dolly!

  49. tammy chekos Says:

    Dolly and fans,

    I totally feel you should sue Howard For his inconsiderate, choppy sick sense of humor. I have never heard anything so discusting in my life as I do from this animal. I totally feel if you think he is one bit funny you are a pig in itself. Im sorry but I am very stongly against Howard and his sick humor. Yes if you listen closely you should be able to figure out that it was totally pieced and very choppy and fake. If you are a fan of Dolly you ought to know she has very deep sentimental feelings for Kenny, Burt, and Porter and any one else that comes her way! Dolly would never in a million moons ever speek the way the tapes had her speeking. Dolly is one person who loves a good laugh and can tell a great joke. She has never slandered anyone else in doing so, This is beyond funny and I feel if anybody is gunna sue Howard it ought to be Dolly. Let that pig of a human sizzle in his own stew and know that he ought to stop slandering other people and using celebraties to say false things of others to be funny. Go and learn to be funny in your own kind of way Stern!!!!! You have burned to many bridges but now you burnt the WRONG bridge!!!!! Lets see who gets the last laugh now!!!! GO GET HIM DOLLY!!!!!
    IIIII LLLLLOOOOVVEE YYYOOOOUUUU!!!!!!!!!!! Tammy (CHGO)

  50. Rodney Boyers Pittsburgh PA Says:

    YOU GO DOLLY!!! I totally agree with you!!! I understand that many may think that this was funny & meant as a joke, but do we really need to scrape the bottom of the barrel to get a laugh? Are we so starved for humor that we now have turned to the offensive for a kick? It is disgusting!!! Until we stand up & say no more nothing will change. Racism & down right vulgerness should never be funny. How can we be a world without pejudices until we stop laughing at this kind of crap & thinking that it is normal? When we bash & laugh at putting down another class or group we just set ourselves back for failure. Obviously Mr. Stern has no talent & has to turn to this kind of talk to get attention. He isn’t worth the time, although a public apology would be appropriate. Freedom of speech is a gift & should not be taken for granted & used recklessly. Dolly, I’m glad that you use yours in a posiive light to inspire & uplift. Dolly, you are a wonderful human being, singer, writer, musician, actress & all around entertainer!!! Mr. Stern does not have an ounce of talent in his pinky that you do in your whole being. I recently had the chance of seeing you on your “Backwoods Barbie” Tour here in Pittsburgh PA. It was a dream come true. Your show, your music & you take me back to some fond memories & reminds me of my childhood. My parents who are deceased loved you & your music. I grew up listening to you. Seeing you live felt like family & home. It brought me close to my parents again. It was like they were there with me that night of your concert. Thank you for that memory. Now, how many people has Mr. Stern affected that way??? Not very many I bet! Stevie Wonder has a wonderful song that was featured in the movie “The Outsiders”…”Stay Gold”. It has amazing lyrics. If you get the chance Dolly, look up the lyrics on line. I think it is appropriate for this situation. To me, YOU ARE GOLD! You have stayed that way over the years no matter what!!! It is important to keep that youthful, carefree, innocence about ones self. Robert Frost has a wonderful poem titled “Nothing Gold Can Stay”, which was also featured in “The Outsiders”…please check it out as well. Again, Dolly YOU ARE GOLD!!! Being gold is keepig that youth, being carefree & innocent, looking at life differently with fresh non-judgemental eyes, hanging on for faith & hope, being inspired & inspiring others. We want to be better & the world to be a better place. This is what you do Dolly. I do not know you personally of course, but I have followed you & your career & know what you stand for. Please don’t take this to heart. Your fans love & support you. Good & bad. Thank you for inspiring us . “Stay Gold” Dolly…”Stay Gold”…

  51. Rodney Boyers Pittsburgh PA Says:

    Hi again Dolly! You should (if possible) do a cover of the Stevie Wonder song “Stay Gold”. I think it would be very theraputic for this whole nasty situation. I think you would do a nice version. Please listen to the song & lyrics. Great tune!!!

  52. Dennis Robbins Says:

    Is it not a slap in the face of country music when the ACM awards aired two SIRIUS ads promoting howard stern, the INFIDEL durning the show? I am canceling my SIRIUS radion because of this!

    Dennis Robbins

  53. Brittanie G Says:

    Dolly- You have your fans backing you 100%. It is quite obvious he did editing on this. I honestly believe that no one is going to buy this crock of crap. You are beautiful inside and out and everyone in the free world knows you wouldn’t say such things. We love you, Dolly! Keep your head up.

    Brittanie

  54. Phyllis Podesva Says:

    I think you are down to earth person. I am a fan of yours, as for Howard, what he done to you was not right. He should be taken off the air for good.

  55. Nicole S. Says:

    I think it’s harsh that people could abuse others this way without there being more outrage about this. I mean, he’s done it to other celebrities before (and none that I actually liked) but I’ve never agreed with cutting and diceing what others say to make them sound bad- its as bad as plagerism, which you could sue over.
    I don’t know what you’ll decide to do, but if you did decide to take this up with that (insert rude words here) then you go girl!
    You’re a strong woman, with high morales, and you shouldn’t let anything that Stern says get you down.
    My parents are totally behind you, and I only just started listening really, but I’m already a huge fan, and there’s millions of people behind you!
    Just keep facing the world, chin up and smiling… that’s one of the things I love about you.
    It’s one of the things that makes you real.
    Howard Stern is dirt, and he’s got nothing on a shooting star like you.

    Hi Dolly,

    my boyfriend and i are heading over to Rotterdam tomorrow to see you!!! I’m from Texas but just a few years back got into Country music because of you and you helped me through a rough patch… You rock! Kick Stern’s ass!

    looking forward to seeing you,

    xoxo daniel

    dear dolly,
    you should sue the dirtbag. he has done nothing but hurt you and your fans. if i could i would stand up for you but, im not even 12 yet. but you just keep smiling as you always do! even though he says he is a longtime dolly parton fan it is obvious hes not! you just keep your head held high!!!!!!!

    as always
    love,

    I do not find Howard Stern Funny at all. He is pornographic, Rasist and gross. His fans that find him amusing are probably all on drugs.. Look at him he looks like a junkie… Dolly, I think you should sue him. Even tho it is a tape of your voice that he spliced together, he used your voice without written consent to demean or make fun of you. Slander, Deformation of cariture. Also using the clips from your book on cd he is violating your copywrite. Those of us who adore you and think you should be up for saint hood are hurt by this deeply because we know you better and we know its not you making those comments thats not the point. The point is he doe’nt have the right to abuse or slander anyone…

    I love you Dolly!

    Gary
