The List for Monday, June 5th 2023

Welcome To The List,

Yellowstone is such a hit for Kevin Costner, what do you think would be next for the A-lister…how about mortgaging your home, your 10-acre estate in Santa Barbara to help fund a four-part Western franchise.  He’s reportedly raised $100 million budge all by himself and has been trying to get this going for the last 30 years. Some people are speculating this helped lead to the end of his marriage.

Put September 6th of 2024 on your calendar for the release of the new Beetlejuice movie!!  If you’re skeptical about the sequel, Michael Keaton has provided an update that might get you on board.  He says he and Tim Burton are determined to make it, as close to the way they made it the first time. That includes improvising and riffing, but literally handmade stuff like people creating things with their hands and building something.  Beetlejuice 2 is in theaters September 6th of next year.

Tanya Tucker is the FIRST…to ride a horse onto the stage of at the Grand Ole Opry on Friday.  Historians say that in 97 years, no one had ever done that.  It was the same black stallion she rode through downtown Nashville in April after she made it into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Her new album “Sweet Western Sound” came out on Friday, and there’s a horse on the cover.  So that’s why she did it.  It’s the 26th studio album of her career.

Jordan Davis is going to be a papa…again, this will be number THREE! To say he’s excited is an understatement. he’s getting ALL the feels.  “Yeah, I think you’re kind of all the emotions – excited and scared, nervous. There’s no love like a new baby, and so being able to hold him or her for the first time is always pretty special.” Adding, he loves to see them grow up and their eldest daughter who is three Eloise he says knows what’s going on he’s ready to see HER face when the baby comes home.

Harrison Ford has held  MANY honors, Academy Awards nominee for Best Actor, BAFTA Award nominee for Best Actor. People’s Choice Awards and the list goes on…but nothing can compare to having a new ant and a new spider species named after you. Harvard University scientist Edward Wilson named the ant Pheidole harrisonfordi. The spider is named Calponia harrisonfordi. Wilson bestowed the honor upon Ford because of his conservation efforts..at least it wasn’t a snake…

Katy Perry tells BuzzFeed that she wants to record with Carrie Underwood. Saying she hasn’t done a collab with any female country stars yet. She’s like the queen of country, so that’s cool. The lineup for Luke Bryan’s 14th Farm Tour has been announced, and it’s loaded.  His guests will include Kameron Marlowe from “The Voice”, former “American Idol” winner Chayce Beckham, the Peach Pickers, and DJ Rock.  Tickets are on sale now …He’ll be in Colfax Iowa September 21st

The List for Thursday, June 5th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The guitar Michael J. Fox absolutely obliterates at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance? In Back to the Future? Yeah, it’s been missing since 1985—poof, gone, like Biff’s dignity. It’s a cherry red Gibson ES-345 and Gibson’s basically playing musical “Wanted” posters to get it back. Even Marty himself is pleading for its return in a video. Bonus fact: the guitar’s from the '60s, even though the scene was set in '55. So not only is it missing—it’s a time-traveling anachronism. Perfect...

-----

Jason Aldean just torched the whole encore charade. He said, “I’m not gonna leave the stage, make you beg, then stroll back out like it’s a surprise.” No, sir—he plays it all, drops the mic, and that’s it. Respect. None of this “Oh gee, did you really want to hear ‘Dirt Road Anthem?’” Dude, we know it's coming. This ain’t a magic show. It’s country music, not Criss Angel.

------

Allegedly, Blake Lively just got booted from Taylor Swift’s inner circle, and she’s forming her own squad—less pop stars, more...whoever’s available. Sources say Taylor’s over the drama, and Blake’s out here auditioning new friends like it’s The Real Housewives of Manhattan. No tears, just a chilled glass of “watch me glow up without you.” The pettiness? Vintage. The revenge arc? Chef’s kiss.

----

Headed to CMA Fest? Buckle up, honky-tonk hero. First, it's a clear bag only situation—so unless your purse is see-through like your ex’s promises, leave it at home. Ditch the cowboy boots too unless you’re into blisters and bad decisions. Oh, and plot twist—you don’t have to pay to see music. There’s free music all over the place. It’s like Coachella, but with more denim and less judgment.

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