Dolly's boobs

Found some of my recent work on youtube. It's part of an interview I did some months ago with Dolly Parton. It's definitely one of the nuttiest interviews I've ever done. I was on a mission for a really serious pop culture tv-show, "Kobra". And all they wanted me to talk to her about was - her boobs. For 20 minutes.
How did I feel about this? Getting to interview an intelligent, interesting, super mega music artist, great composer, big time charity doner..like Dolly - about her breasts. 
Well, you just gotta be professional. Kickstarted with a question about the new album. Then fired away my boob Q's. It was totally awkward at times. Half way through the interview she blew off at me.."-You know what, there's so many more interesting things about me to talk about, people just don't know when they should shut up about it!" 
But boy was I a professional reporter that kept on doing what I was sent out to do...and boy did she handle the whole schenanigans like a super pro.. The interview actually ended with Dolly congratulating me on doing a great job despite the odds. And I must say that she was one of the most professional artists I have ever interviewed. She could have just left the room (like Bon Jovi did once, but that's a different story). But she didn't. Praise the lord for Dolly!
