Word on the street is that this isn’t the end of the story with Dolly:

Parton, 62, said on Monday she would postpone her upcoming North American tour after doctors told her to take it easy for six to eight weeks to rest her sore back.

The “Leave Britney Alone!” guy lives here, in my state. I figured that quack had to live somewhere outside of reality, like San Francisco.
