Welcome to The List,

If it seems like Luke Bryan is everywhere, and that's because he is.  He's been working so much that his life needs a tune-up.  That's what he told his fan club party in Nashville that he loves to work but not really balancing it that well this year.  He told his wife they’re going to find a boat and go to the Caribbean or something to relax.  I bet Kenny Chesney could help out with that…

Old Dominion's Matthew Ramsey says being a father is humbling “To come in and have to fix breakfast and get everybody’s lunch packed and get them out the door and take them to school. It’s a very nice thing and it’s a great way to just remember that you are a real person and not everybody cares that you have a guitar and sing songs. It’s really the best thing you could ever do is be a dad." It's a bit of a double life, when you’re no longer a rockstar.. you’re just dad…

He reminded them that everyone paid good money to have a good time . . . and if they can't do that too, then "get the hell out."  Seems they did.
