"Run, Rose, Run" is a close look at the Nashville music scene, through the eyes of women. The narrative has music and romance and cheering crowds, and lyrics to Parton songs such as the mid-tempo rocker "Big Dreams and Faded Jeans." On the darker side are unscrupulous executives, unwanted physical advances and the male-oriented ways of the market, defined by a radio consultant's "salad" theory, in which men are the essential artists, "the lettuce," the women more like tomatoes, "to be sprinkled into airplay now and again as garnish." https://www.thepostbest.com
