-Dolly Parton
Love this line. Not sure if this is a line from a song or if it was just a statement made by the famous country artist, but it rings very true with me. Of course the rainbow is metaphorical, not to mention my penchant for interpreting in the abstract. There are a few more quotes that impart a similar message (but I will save those for another day) and to paraphrase: nothing worth achieving is ever easy. You must put up with the bad in order to gain the good, it is a simple fact. The sooner one embraces this, the sooner that rainbow will be gloriously alighting your day with colorful happiness. And dare I say, if you put up with enough rain you may even witness a.... Double Rainbow??
Dolly Parton (1946) is an iconic American country artist. Her tender soprano voice is truly distinct and has made an immeasurable impact on the musical stylings of the past sixty years. Parton has over 3,000 (!!!) songs to her credit including the very famous I Will Always Love You (most celebrated for the Whitney Houston version), Jolene, and My Tennessee Mountain Home. Apart from being an undeniable pillar of country music, selling an estimated 100 million albums, Parton has also had success with acting in such films as 9 to 5, Steel Magnolias, and Straight Talk.
