The List for Thursday, June 5th 2025

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.

The List for Friday, September 19th 2025

Welcome to The List, and it’s brought to you by the Zearing Bar, right down on Main Street where friends and neighbors meet.

Parker McCollum may have just topped the list of “most country things ever.” He admitted he once rode a horse bareback… naked… and in Crocs. He says you only do it once, because, quote, “it ain’t that good.” Somewhere out there is a horse that’s still in therapy.

Zach Top told People life on the road is moving way too fast. He says the hardest part is never waking up in the same town and always having to figure out where he is. He admits it makes him miss the simplicity of growing up in one place and you realize you’ve brushed your teeth in three different Waffle House bathrooms this week.”

-----

Glenn Close is 78 and apparently has a nude scene coming up in her next movie..her idea, by the way. She didn’t really explain why audiences need this, so allow me to speak for everyone when I say: Glenn, but please no…keep your Fatal Attraction clothed.

-----

Jimmy Kimmel might be looking to bail on his ABC contract, and word is he wants to guest star on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” before it ends. So… is he leaving late night, or just job-hopping like the rest of us?
