Welcome to The List,
Kane Brown posted a sneak preview of a new song about depression. He says it’s about, quote, “Horrible thoughts and feelings that I feel like a lot of us go through but don’t like to talk about with other people. If you relate to the song at all just know you’re not alone and I love you.”

A “comedy A.I.” called Dudesy made a fake George Carlin standup special. It’s called “I’m Glad I’m Dead”, and it’s an hour long. And George’s daughter Kelly is NOT happy. She Tweeted, quote, “My dad spent a lifetime perfecting his craft from his very human life, brain and imagination. No machine will ever replace his genius. We’d have to agree. (There IS some profanity you can hear it HERE…)

Kenny Chesney hasn’t released a new album since 2020. But that changes this year. There’s no word when it’s coming, but Kenny says, quote, “I have to figure out which of the songs makes this record; what or why we’re holding some of these recordings for and what’s the best collection of songs we can give No Shoes Nation.”

Do you remember who played the part of Marty McFly in the movie "Back To The Future"?
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.
