Welcome to The List,
Today’s Superhero Day! Tim McGraw was asked which superhero he’d be, and he said, “You wanna say Superman ’cause you can fly…but I’m a pilot, so I already fly. I’d be the Invisible Man!” Honestly, same. I’d love to disappear anytime someone says, “Can we talk?”

Over the weekend, the ACMs started handing out trophies early! Ella Langley snagged Best New Female Artist, and Zach Top grabbed Best New Male Artist. Full show’s May 8th—but early congrats to them! I can’t even get an early pizza delivery, and they’re already winning awards!

George and Amal Clooney might be heading for a $500 million divorce…because she skipped his Broadway debut. (Yikes.) George says they’ve “never had a fight”—which is adorable…until one missed playbill flips the table. Love is grand…divorce is expensive!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly planning their future together—and they’re loving being out of the spotlight. No tours, no touchdowns, just sweats, snacks, and secret Pinterest wedding boards. The biggest drama is arguing over who left the fridge open instead of dodging paparazzi.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

Welcome to The List,
The guitar Michael J. Fox absolutely obliterates at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance? In Back to the Future? Yeah, it’s been missing since 1985—poof, gone, like Biff’s dignity. It’s a cherry red Gibson ES-345 and Gibson’s basically playing musical “Wanted” posters to get it back. Even Marty himself is pleading for its return in a video. Bonus fact: the guitar’s from the '60s, even though the scene was set in '55. So not only is it missing—it’s a time-traveling anachronism. Perfect...

Jason Aldean just torched the whole encore charade. He said, “I’m not gonna leave the stage, make you beg, then stroll back out like it’s a surprise.” No, sir—he plays it all, drops the mic, and that’s it. Respect. None of this “Oh gee, did you really want to hear ‘Dirt Road Anthem?’” Dude, we know it's coming. This ain’t a magic show. It’s country music, not Criss Angel.
------
Allegedly, Blake Lively just got booted from Taylor Swift’s inner circle, and she’s forming her own squad—less pop stars, more...whoever’s available. Sources say Taylor’s over the drama, and Blake’s out here auditioning new friends like it’s The Real Housewives of Manhattan. No tears, just a chilled glass of “watch me glow up without you.” The pettiness? Vintage. The revenge arc? Chef’s kiss.

Headed to CMA Fest? Buckle up, honky-tonk hero. First, it's a clear bag only situation—so unless your purse is see-through like your ex’s promises, leave it at home. Ditch the cowboy boots too unless you’re into blisters and bad decisions. Oh, and plot twist—you don’t have to pay to see music. There’s free music all over the place. It’s like Coachella, but with more denim and less judgment.
