Dolly Parton pulled herself out of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominations earlier this week, saying she isn't worthy since she's never made a rock 'n' roll album. But the hall of fame says she's earned the right to the honor and that rock 'n' roll is not defined by any one genre.
While the country music icon and philanthropist, 76, said she was "extremely flattered and grateful" to be nominated – she didn't want the votes to be split because of her nomination. So, she respectfully bowed out.
