In what will probably be another blow to SXSW's headliner list, Dolly Parton has announced that she is postponing her tour scheduled to start on February 28th in Minneapolis. Parton will be rescheduling her dates in April and May, which would preclude her appearance at SXSW this year, though that has not been specifically stated. On her
web site, Dolly attributes the postponement due to a back condition "hey, you try wagging these puppies around a while and see if you don't have back problems". That means the Saturday night slot at the Austin Music Hall will be free, it will be interesting to see who SXSW gets to fill it. It's a big room.
