00:00The first thing that did my head in was when I got the opportunity to be with her at the
00:06end bit of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, you know, at rehearsals, it was just mad because, I
00:12mean, she walks out on stage, she looks like a million dollars, and some of us have been up all
00:16night, you know, and I'm in my shorts and my T-shirt, I'm like, oh God, what I, why didn't
00:21I put something decent on, but she's just this ball of light.
00:26She walks into the room, she looks incredible, she smells great, she's just so beautiful to everybody, in terms of
00:33respect and care, and she goes, hey Rob, do you know Jolene?
00:39First of all, Dolly Parton speaking to me.
00:42Oh yes, Dolly, I know a lot of you, oh Greg, would you want to sing a couple lines with
00:47me?
00:48Yeah, yeah, that'd be great.
00:50So, we had some rehearsals, and I remember I couldn't sleep that night, I was awake all night, I was
00:55buzzing.
00:55I mean, as much for Priest, but equally, I'm going to, you know, going to do that thing with Dolly,
01:01so we had that fantastic time together with that song.
01:06I only sang a couple of bits, but it went viral the next day, and there was a picture of
01:11me and her, like, you know, in close, singing these lines together, and it just seemed so surreal.
