Welcome to The List,

Michael Ray put together “Honky Tonk Tuesday’s on his instagram to connect with fans over the pandemic “Every Tuesday afternoon I would get with some artist buddy’s of mine and they would come on my LIVE that I would put on and sing some older songs of theirs and songs that they’ve written.  It was just a for knowing ME as a fan to learn and listen to the people I grew up with, but also be able to give my fans hopefully a time of the week to be away from the things they were going through and all of this confusion during this time.”

Favorite Christmas Gifts…what was yours? For ME the BEST ones always seemed to make the most noise or created the most havoc in my house.  Brett Young he had a fav…and it created messy situations too…."Probably drove them crazy, but one year I got, like a mini little plastic indoor basketball hoop, and the living room was just big enough that I could justify playing all the time. I was probably four or five years old, which is big enough to wreak havoc in the living room and jump off sofas to try to slam dunk. Unfortunately for them, it was in the living room. But I really loved that thing.”

Matthew McConaughey was on with Jimmy Fallon last night and talked about his Christmas plans, New Years resolutions ... and about why he chose not to run for Governor of Texas.  And had THIS to say about his new movie ‘Sing 2’ “Now we’re takin it to Red Shore City, which is in our movie…Vegas.  It’s good news, we need some good news right now. It’s about chasing a dream but also about how you get it the ”hustle” you gotta have the dealing with the rejection which is part of it. All the doubt but can you believe your way through the doubt.” 'Sing 2' opens in theaters Wednesday, December 22nd.

It seems Jimmie Allen can NEVER make it on time wherever he goes.  He telling CMT. If they gave out awards for being late, I'd be there an hour late to pick mine up. But, when I do finally show up, I give you everything I got. I feel like people would rather me be a little bit late and give you everything I got than be on time and give you nothing,” Or…or..maybe be on time and give everything you got.  Just an idea…
