      That was actually my thought while reading. How dare anyone else put their name on something?

        Dolly’s name is already on a lot of stuff in Tennessee. Heck, Dollywood is named after her.

        I don’t think there’s much objection either to slapping her name on things, which is rare.

          Her name gets slapped on things she believes in. She does the work, and then, poof! I don’t think she made the donation to get her name on it; she just felt it was the right thing to do with her money.
