Parton made the bold statement, “I’m a rock star now!” during her acceptance speech. Then she explained why she was hesitant to accept the honor, explaining, “I’m sure a lot of you knew that back when they said they were gonna put me in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I didn’t feel like I had done enough to deserve that.”
Also, there’s more to it than that, which I failed to grasp when it happened. Being here tonight is an honor, and I couldn’t be prouder.
