    She more recently released a song "5 to 9" to celebrate side hustles and gig work in partnership with Squarespace:

    [Verse 1] Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen// Pour myself a cup of ambition// Yawn and stretch and try to come to life// Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping// Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumping// With folks like me on the job from nine to five

    [Chorus] Working nine to five, what a way to make a living// Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving// They just use your mind and they never give you credit// It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it// Working five to nine, you've got passion and a vision// 'Cause it's hustlin' time, a whole new way to makе a livin'// Gonna change your life, do something that givеs it meaning// With a website that is worthy of your dreaming

    [Verse 2] Well, you've got dreams and you know they matter// Be your own boss, climb your own ladder// That moment's getting closer by the day// And you're in the same boat with a lotta your friends// Launching ideas you all believe in// The tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way

    [Chorus] Working five to nine, makin' something of your own now// And it feels so fine to build a business from your know-how// Gonna move ahead, and there's nothin' that you can't do// When you listen to that little voice inside you, yeah// Five to nine, you've got passion and a vision// 'Cause it's hustlin' time, a whole new way to make a livin'// Gonna change your life, do something that gives it meaning// With a website that is worthy of your dreaming

    [Outro] Five to nine// You keep workin' workin' workin'// Workin' five to nine// 'Til your dreams come true// Workin' five to nine// You keep dreamin' dreamin' dreamin'// Five to nine, five to nine// You can do it (Ooh)

      sounds par for the course. her and merle haggard (who wrote a pro vietnam war song) get way too much working class cred

        I listened to a podcast where they discussed Parton's theme park Dollywood and it's a typical environment of low pay and worker abuse. So yeah, while it's kind of funny to align Parton with the left, let's not have any illusions with these ultra wealthy celebrities.

    Uncritical support to Tom Sexton and his one-man crusade to slaughter the sacred cow of Dolly Worship.
