Dolly Parton makes it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame after initially wanting to withdraw her name from consideration

When Dolly Parton was placed on the official ballot for 2022’s class, she asked to withdraw her name. Parton thought the honor should only go to artists affiliated with rock music. She shared in an Instagram statement, “this has inspired me to hopefully put out a great rock n roll album at some point in the future.”
