Loretta Lynn, RIP -- October 6, 2022

I was sad to learn that singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn has died. She was a poet. As her song said, she grew up a "Coal Miner's Daughter," in the poorest of circumstances. She married at 15 and stayed married. She wrote songs about divorce, birth control, the Vietnam War and strong women. When the movie Coal Miner's Daughter came out in 1980, we went to see it. My dad liked to listen to country music on the radio. I was always happy when her songs came on.
