Dolly delivers the commencement speech to 2009 graduating class at the University of Tennessee
Dolly delivered the commencement speech for the 2009 graduating class at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, infusing it with some of her famous humor.
“Now, I usually try not to give advice. Information, yes, advice, no. But, what has worked for me may not work for you. Well, take for instance what has worked for me. Wigs. Tight clothes, push up bras, and high heel shoes.”
As part of the ceremonies, Dolly sang a version of the university’s unofficial fight song “Rocky Top,” and a version of her song “Try.” Dolly received an honorary doctorate of humane and musical letters, only the second bestowed in the university’s history.
