The List for Monday, June 21st 2021

Welcome to The List,

A lot of country artists are scheduling new tours and shows and playing cancelled shows because of the pandemic and Jordan Davis says getting back to it helps him feel normal again...“Playing that first show, having a full crowd, full band, feeling like it was normal again, it was crazy. I don’t think we knew how much we missed it”. I think most everyone getting back on stage and even back to work period feels the same a little bit. Jordan performed at a festival in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina..and he had those nerves creepin in until after the first couple songs.

 

Dylan Scott tells Billboard magazine that he can’t wait to get back out on the road.  But, this time…he may not be bringing his family.  He loves that they can experience what HE experiences…BUT whew!  It’s a lot of work bringing the family on tour.

Tom Brady tells USA Today that he has no plans to play until he's 50. He’ll  be 45 next year and still has a two year contract.  I see a lot of ibuprofen and Icy Hot in his future.  If not straight up endorsements.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame unveiled their list of new honorees on Friday. They include

Francis Ford Coppola

Macaulay Culkin

Jason Momoa

Carrie Fisher (posthumous) For movies

TELEVISION:

Ricky Gervais

Bob Odenkirk

Norman Reedus

Kenan Thompson

Michael Strahan

Speaking of movies, over the weekend “Hitman’s Wife’s Bodygaurd” was number one at the box office followed by “A Quiet Place II”…..Happy Amazon Prime Day…

The List for Friday, June 18th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Happy Father’s day to all the fathers listening today…you might remember dear ole dad sometimes had his moments Were he just did something almost unforgivable…Riley Green had one of those moments with HIS dad "Worst thing I can ever think of him doing, was he threw a Lynyrd Skynyrd tape out the window. On the way to work one day, I was just playin’ “Sweet Home Alabama” over and over again, and he just pressed eject and threw it out the window without saying anything. I don’t know if I forgive him for that yet or not, but he’s always been that type to sorta cut up with me.”

 Jon Pardi is cancelling concerts due to doctor's orders. He’s on vocal rest all shows scheduled through End of June will be rescheduled. AND, Kenny Chesney has officially announced his new ‘Here and Now’ 2022 Stadium Tour, which begins on April 23 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The closest Kenny comes to Iowa this time around is Soldier Field in Chicago June 25th

We reported yesterday that there is a rumor that Wesley Snipes may join the cast of the upcoming ‘John Wick 4” as a sword wielding bad guy. Well, that’s all it is. As it turns out, the Hollywood Reporters Borys Kit says there was some talk earlier of that happening but it didn’t work out. Production is supposed to start this summer on location in France, Germany, and Japan. “John Wick: Chapter 4 is scheduled to be in theaters May 27, 2022.

Looking for a special gift for that die hard Fast and The Furious fan!! The Robb Report says Jacob and Company has created a new Fast and the Furious watch. The watch has 88 parts, a crystal dial with imagery from the film as well as the Fast logo. Vin Diesel's 1970s Dodge Charger and Paul Walker's customized Toyota Supra are featured on the face of the watch. Only nine watches have been produced get it now for only $580,000 because the sequels will cost even more…and be less and less interesting….

The Rock tells People magazine that he is considering a run for president. Saying he’s not a politician nor did he ever have political passions, and quite frankly not sure he has the patience to deal with the B.S. that comes with politics and politicians.

Welcome to The List,

It’s our Country Father’s Day celebration and when it comes to Tim McGraw and parenting, HE says HE let’s Faith lead the way…"Dads, I would say let mom lead the way. Parenting in general, I think as anybody that’s a parent knows, boy, you probably get 65% of everything wrong. And it’s just a matter of makin’ mistakes and tryin’ to do better the next day, and kind of following your kids heartbeat, I guess is the best way to say it.”

Darius Rucker Believes He Is A "Fun" Father ... "I think if you asked my kids what kind of dad I was, they would probably say -- Danny would say that I was a fun dad. My little daughter would say that I was a fun dad; she thinks I’m a lot of fun. I think if you caught them at the right moment, they would say I was mean because when I’m home I’m not afraid to discipline them.  I’m all fun until it’s not fun anymore. I always want them to know how much I love them, So, I would say I’m a loving dad.”

Sounds Like Nashville says Carrie Underwood is going to release their first-ever gospel DVD on July 23rd. It is titled ''My Savior: LIVE From The Ryman'
