How do you begin to mourn Dolly Parton?  On Tuesday, Parton’s nephew Bryan Seaver announced that the 80-year-old global icon had died, immediately jumpstarting a tidal wave of tributes from fans, friends, and the musical voices who count her as an integral inspiration.  Since her start in the music industry in the 1960s, Parton used her working-class roots and rhinestone personality to redefine what success in the country music world could look like.

That classic Eighties question rises again: Mike D’s in the house, whatcha gonna do? The Beastie Boys ended in 2012, when the late Adam “MCA” Yauch died way too young of cancer. His lifelong friends Michael “Mike D” Diamond and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horowitz made the tough but admirable decision not to even try pushing on without him. Since then, there’s been no music from either surviving Beastie — as Mike D has said, the grief made it too painful to even walk into the studio. But Thank You is his first solo album, the sound of a man revitalized. He’s…
