I always found it admirable that Dolly seemed totally awestruck by Whitney’s “I Will Always Love You”
No jealousy, no protectiveness of her own work, just joy that somebody had taken the song she wrote and made something new and special out of it.

![confirming this. Parton also publicly stated she liked Houston's version of the song better than her own. 14]
Parton recalled that when she first heard the song while driving in Nashville the week of its release that she "just heard this voice come on the radio. It kind of rang a bell, but it didn't hit because she was kind of talking it. Then, all of a sudden, it went into the l Will Always Love You' part and I just about wrecked. I had to pull off the side of the road, seriously, to listen to it." 216]
Parton stated that she was "overwhelmed" and that Houston "made it so much more than it ever would have been."(216][217) In an interview with Howard Stern, Parton added "I couldn't believe my little country sad song could even be done like that. That was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my entire life." 29]
Houston told Rolling Stone in 1993, "I think Dolly Parton is a hell of a writer and a hell of a singer. I was so concerned when I sang her song how she'd feel about it, in terms of the arrangement, my licks, my flavor. When she said she was floored, that meant so much to me." 28]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:srnkqtcpptdtesojmwbgoek2/bafkreigbdy2bzzoyare7f7bcsjadegxge2hr3lhb7lgp5hgr7igyw7vvyy)

If Tony Pettiti were in charge of World Cup expansion, 36 of the 48 teams would have been from Europe. You want a fun and exciting ride? Actually expand access and invite the underdogs.

11 minutes of screen time and arguably steals the whole 2.5-hour movie
Of all the great scenes in his career, the whole "Charlie Don't Surf" one is the real standout to me. It just spoke to American arrogance and the overall absurdity of war.
RIP Robert Duvall, you were one of the most consistently great actors to have graced the silver screen.
