Welcome to The List,
Parker McCollum has another hit on his hands “To Be Loved By You” is doing VERY well here he tells us how it came about… “Recording ‘To Be Loved By You” was really a unique kind of experience. It was a song, I think, that when I wrote it with my buddy Rhett Akins, I kind of said, ‘Man, what if we just push the limits on this one and kind of just see how far we can push the envelope here?’ It’s crazy to see how well it turned out, and it’s such a rockin’ tune and we’re stoked about it.” ‘To Be Loved By You’ is Parkers second single from his debut studio album ‘Gold Chain Cowboy’, and is a follow up to his number one song ‘Pretty Heart”

If you’re an aspiring artist Eric Church has some great advise for you. He tells CMT that being told ‘No’ is a great way to get inspired to succeed. “There’s a motivation in being told no, that you can’t do something. It’s okay to go to ten places and get the door slammed in your face. It’s an integral part of learning who you are as an artist. And remember: Nashville told Randy Travis to put a hat on, they told George Strait to take a hat off.”

Welcome to The List,
Sad news from the soap world. General Hospital icon Anthony Geary has passed away at age 78 due to complications from surgery in Amsterdam. Fans knew him forever as Luke Spencer, one of the most legendary characters daytime TV has ever seen. His longtime on-screen partner Genie Francis said, “No star burned brighter than Tony Geary,” adding that working with him was always unpredictable and exciting. A true original, and a massive loss for television history.

Riley Green had a moment onstage when a fan tossed leopard-print granny panties at him mid-show. He kept singing like a pro while the internet absolutely did not. His tour crew has now started collecting bras, panties, and even hair extensions thrown on stage. Riley said they were going to donate the bras once he learned how expensive they are. Country concerts really are built different.
