Will the third time be a charm for Sheryl or will James send the KLASH into overtime?
Welcome to The List,
Getting out there for the first time can be scary, nerve racking but you have to start somewhere if you’re going to GET anywhere. Jake Owen talks about his FIRST job…”Well, I went to the local guitar shop and told this guy that I needed a guitar that plugs in because I have a gig tonight. He sold me a guitar and I went back that night. I think I played ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ four times. I made tips, I made friends, got phone numbers, called my dad and said…I got a job.” Someone once asked Jake how southern his family is…well, his mom was Florida Watermelon Queen…if that’s not southern I don’t know what is…yes, but could she do the ‘crawl’?

It’s getting a little warm in Hollywood at least around Mickey Rourke. He was doing an interview with Piers Morgan and allegedly slammed Tom Cruise for doing “Top Gun: Maverick”. “The guy’s been doing the same part for 35 years. I got no respect for that. I think he’s irrelevant in my world.”

Martin Lawrence tells Essence magazine that a fourth Bad Boys movie, with Will Smith, is in development. He says he and Will are making at least one more film for the franchise …Craig Morgan invited Jelly Roll to help him sing “Almost Home” at the Grand Ole Opry last week. The song is special to Jelly Roll because he was inspired to be a singer after seeing Craig perform it.

Don’t look for Luke Combs to be taking his newborn son on the road anytime soon…he’s not THAT guy…saying, “I think you need at least a year before the road thing. We don’t even take our dog on the road because we feel it affects his quality of life”. They want to make sure they have the parenting thing down first.

Someone came up with a list of the best country songs to put on when you need a good CRY. They include “Stay” by Sugarland . . . “Fire Away” by Chris Stapleton . . . and “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton. The number ONE song on the list…Tim McGraw’s “Don’t Take The Girl”

Finally, “Travel & Leisure” put out its annual list of the best U.S. cities to visit on vacation. And Charleston, South Carolina is #1. They say it’s got the perfect balance of, quote, “Southern charm, knockout food and drinks, and walkability.” Not Hollywood or Nashville but thought it was good to know….

Is a blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy in which a young woman must survive the night at the “Virgil”. A mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, big screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humor.

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