Was Your First Crush a Country Star? Here’s Who Dolly Parton’s Was

Was your first crush a country star?  For Dolly Parton, it was Johnny Cash.  Someone dug up an old interview where she said he was the first person she ever had LUSTY feelings for.

She was a teenager, so he would have been in his late-20’s.  Quote, “He was lean and lanky, and that’s when I first realized what sex appeal was.”  (Careful:  She added, “I had all these feelings, which now I know is just being horny.”)

Johnny was asked about it in an interview in 1997, and they played him the clip.  He chuckled and said it was “nice of her” to say.  (Here’s the interview.  And here’s Johnny circa 1959, back when Dolly was hot for him.)
