Mayor Drewery Beale said Friday that he believes the country music singer -- best known for being the brother of star Dolly Parton -- has violated a clause in his contract requiring him to "perform in a professional manner." He cited several instances, including one Thursday in which a visibly impaired Randy Parton "had to be escorted out and carried home."

Parton's scheduled appearances for the rest of the year have been canceled, and Beale said: "I doubt Mr. Parton will be performing at the theater anytime soon."

It looks like the Roanoke Rapids officials are starting to understand what a monumental mistake they made in putting together this theatre based on Randy Parton. They need to move quickly to find a new headliner for this facility or it is going to become such a symbol of failure that they will never build the kind of entertainment complex that will aid their area.

The reality is that Parton will never be able to get his sister involved, and that was what the area thought they were getting when they signed Randy. Randy Parton is a hair dresser and minor musician, not at all in the mold of his famous sibling. He has never had any hits and making him the headliner for this facility is an embarrassment. Get rid of him and try to cleanse the stench he has brought to their facility as quickly as possible.
