The List for Wednesday, April 14th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Today we start with Jake Owen and his musical influences.  He talks about how his brother introduced him to a lot of different music when he was a kid. ”He was introducing me to everybody…from Depeche Mode, Def Leppard, Van Halen.  All the way to Run DMC, everything all over the map really, Otis Redding I remember him playing for me. So, he really is responsible for allowing me hearing music that I would have never heard from my parents.” But, Jake stopped on country music and the rest his history.

Morgan Wallen broke his silence since he was caught saying the “N-word” on camera. The country music singer has remained silent up until Tuesday when he posted several photos of a hand-written letter to his fans. He started off by acknowledging the unexpected success of his music, and then addressed the elephant in the room, while also noting that he will not be performing this summer.

Idris Elba talks about him playing James Bond … He says his mother thinks he’ll get the part but he’s focused on music and “The Suicide Squad” right now. “I’m definitely doing that, the Suicide Squad is coming out this year, that’s a great look.  I’m really excited about that.” The Suicide Squad hits theaters and HBO Max August 6th of this year.

Entertainment Tonight says the cast of ”ER” is reuniting for a reunion episode on Thursday, April 22nd. The reunion is going to benefit Waterkeeper Alliance, an organization that works to ensure every community has drinkable, fishable and swimmable water.. George Clooney, Julianna Margulies, Noah Wyle, Anthony Edwards and other cast members will take part in the reunion

The List for Monday, March 23rd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Keith Urban is officially boarding the yacht rock cruise. The country star says a full covers album is coming. It will feature classic yacht rock songs and only one original track. He even teased fans with a smooth cover of Stephen Bishop’s “On and On.” No release date yet. But apparently Keith brought boat shoes.

ABC may be ready to dump The Bachelorette for good. Insiders claim executives now call the franchise “toxic.” Critics say the show stopped being about love and started chasing messy drama. Ratings have been sliding for years. The big question inside ABC now is simple. Is it finally time to pull the plug.

-----

Travis Kelce is apparently running an investigation. Someone has been leaking details about his wedding plans with Taylor Swift. Sources say Travis is trying to figure out who is talking. He is also trying to keep Taylor calm about the chaos. Because nothing says romance like a celebrity leak hunt.

-----

Luke Combs just turned Las Vegas into a country concert record book. His show at Allegiant Stadium pulled in 70,921 fans. That breaks the stadium record previously set by a massive boxing match. Country music just beat prize fighting in Vegas. Luke Combs basically threw the knockout punch.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
