We hope you had a great holiday weekend…lots of Turkey and of course FOOTBALL!! The Cowboys-Commanders game was pretty entertaining, especially the half-time show if you got to see it! Dolly Parton wearing a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit singing a few of her greatest hits and one off her new Rock album Queen’s “We Are The Champions. If you DIDN’T see the game the Cowboys won 45 to 10 and Dolly STILL looked great…

OK! Magazine reports Britney Spears is allegedly facing serious financial trouble. If you’ve seen any of her Instagram offerings, you might think there’s something else going on as well. She’s been blowing through cash and now has a mountain of debts and no money coming in. It’s not all Britney’s fault given all the people who’ve leeched off her and continue to do so. Adding to that, her soon to be ex-husband is getting a “low six figure” settlement. And is living in a $10k a month apartment paid for by Spears.

Welcome to The List,
Eric Dane, best known as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, has passed away at 53 after battling ALS. He first revealed his diagnosis last April, but symptoms began earlier in 2024. His family says he spent his final days surrounded by his wife, daughters, and close friends, and he used his fight to raise awareness for ALS research.

William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends. He says metal is where imagination gets loud, which explains a lot about Captain Kirk. There’s nothing more metal than a man eligible for social security since Nixon.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in. He first found out back in December when Craig Morgan surprised him with the invitation, and now Craig will perform at the induction too. It’s one of country music’s highest honors, and proof that redemption stories hit harder than any guitar solo.

Kane Brown is the latest country star to plant his flag on Broadway in Nashville with his own entertainment venue. Kane Brown’s on Broadway will feature a full restaurant, bar, and live music, which basically guarantees fans will spend money while singing his songs badly. Every country star gets a bar eventually, it’s practically a rite of passage. At this point, Nashville Broadway is less a street and more a country music theme park.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
