The List for Wednesday, January 12th 2022

 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.”

TMZ says the “Nightmare on Elm Street” house has sold for $2.98 million. The three-bedroom Los Angeles home was famously featured in the 1984 horror movie. It was originally listed for $3.25 million before the price was “slashed.” The house went viral last year after a model dressed as Freddy Krueger and posed for pictures throughout the property.

John Cena stars in a new program called “Peacemaker” based on James gunn’s 2021 film “The Suicide Squad”.  Peacemaker is a vainglorious man who believes in peace at any cost no matter how many people he has to kill to get it. ”It’s a superhero tail but it’s really different. The character is very conflicted, the character was debuted in a movie called The Suicide Squad and got a lot of attention because of his ideology.  This is an 8 episode dive into the dysfunctional structure of that ideology.” So, it’s NOT your typical superhero movie…”Peacemaker” premieres on HBO Max tomorrow

The List for Thursday, March 26th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Hookup shows come and go. Paychecks apparently stay forever. Taylor Frankie Paul will still get her full Bachelorette salary. TMZ says the payday lands in the low to mid six figures. The season got shelved after that viral domestic violence video resurfaced. Reality TV motto. Love fades. Direct deposit survives.

-----

Some guys jog. Some guys apparently brawl with neighbors. “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson reportedly got into a physical altercation. Sources say intense behavior is kind of his brand at this point. He doesn’t think he crossed a line. Neither does the authorities,

-----

Country star meets horsepower. This feels aggressively on brand. Darius Rucker is now a NASCAR Cup Series team owner. He invested in Legacy Motor Club which competes at the top level. From singing about wagons to literally owning fast cars. That is what we call career acceleration.

-----

If you like free music. Nashville just planned your summer. CMA Fest announced around 150 artists for daytime stages. Names include Ernest, Melissa Etheridge, Tucker Wetmore, more. The free shows run June fourth through seventh downtown. Wallet stays full. Voice will absolutely not.

The List for Wednesday, March 25th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Ella Langley is getting ready to drop album number two. She says Dandelion will hit fans deeper than anything she’s done before. You can vibe casually… or go full lyric detective mode. She even compared the songwriting layers to Fleetwood Mac. Mark April tenth. Sad girl spring incoming.

-----

Reacher star Alan Ritchson just lived his own action scene. Police say he will not face charges after a street fight. Bodycam shows a neighbor approaching while he sat on his motorcycle. Things escalated and Alan reportedly defended himself pretty aggressively. Moral of the story. Do not poke action heroes.

-----

American Idol judges have some… very specific pre-show rituals. Lionel Richie takes a spoonful of olive oil. Yes really. Luke Bryan snacks on ranch and carrots like a chaotic toddler. Carrie Underwood crochets backstage to stay calm and focused. Somewhere Simon Cowell just rolled his eyes.

-----

The Yellowstone universe keeps getting bigger than a Montana sky. A new spin-off called Dutton Ranch is officially on the way. There’s talk fans might finally see Beth and Kayce reunite. Execs say scheduling two productions is the biggest challenge. Premiere date May fifteenth. Cancel your plans now.
