to Tammy Wynette, the First Lady of Country Music and a personal favorite of mine, who passed away in the month of April, 12 years ago.
I like Tammy because her songs dealt with relationships between men and women, and hardships like divorce and loneliness. As you may recall, one of her biggest hits saw a little controversy back in the 1992 presidential campaign when Hillary Clinton proclaimed on 60 Minutes, “I'm not sitting here as some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette.”
Oops.
Wynette was furioius, and Clinton issued a public apology. Then referring to Clinton, Lynn said, “She’s had to eat them words … how many times? Shall we count the ways?”
Ah, well... don't we all make mistakes one time or another?
Happy 12th Anniversary in Heaven, dear Tammy.
