The DC Universe has been treading water for years, but all the buzz seems to indicate that “The Flash” is gonna turn things around. And yesterday, major cameo spoiler was revealed that’s guaranteed to put butts in seats:  Superman . . . played by NICOLAS CAGE. This comes 25 years after Cage ALMOST played Superman.  He was set to star in “Superman Lives”, with Tim Burton directing . . . but the movie was scrapped in 1998.

Did you know the Waylon & Willie classic “Good Hearted Woman” was inspired by Tina Turner?  Waylon saw an ad with the phrase “Tina Turner singing songs about good-hearted women loving good-timing men” . . . so he started writing it up and got help from Willie.

I sit there to finish waking up. inside of me, I say, I give thanks for this feeling.  It’s a feeling of wellness, free, no schedule, no body bothering you.  NOTHING in the way…just that moment of you sitting there where you want to be.” Tina Turner TWO time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame…passed quietly at her home in Switzerland yesterday…Tina Turner was 83 and will be missed.

The List for Tuesday, July 8th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton are teaming up for a brand-new duet called “A Song to Sing”—and it drops this Friday! They teased it online with a retro heart graphic, but didn’t give much else away. Full-blown duet, not just a feature—because when two icons collide, you don’t do it halfway.

----

Plot twist! Diddy is allegedly planning a women’s shelter for abuse survivors… while women are also lining up to party with him. I guess it’s equal-opportunity chaos now? He’s rebranding hard—with a docuseries, new music, and probably a candle line next. Stay tuned!

----

The new Superman movie is here—and critics say it's about as inspiring as a soggy cape. Big on CGI, low on story. Turns out, flying fast and punching aliens doesn’t fix a weak script. Superhero burnout? Say it ain’t so!

----

Big congrats to Sam Hunt and his wife—they’ve welcomed baby number three! A boy named Weyman Allen Hunt, born back in May. Their other kids are Lucy Louise and Lowry Lee. At this point, Sam’s basically touring with his own country band… of toddlers.

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