Thomas Rhett Says His Daughters Love two things right now.  Disney And His Music ... "Girls, at this state, listen to nothing but the Disney+ channel.  But they do you love country music, and so even when I turn the radio on, if it’s not my voice coming through the radio, then they tell me to change it and put one of my songs on, which definitely forces me to really dislike a lot of my songs before the record even comes out, because all they want to listen to is daddy’s music." At least it’s not baby shark…

The List for Friday, February 19th 2021

Welcome to The List –

Luke Bryan says he’s changed and grown as an "American Idol" judge ... when I really, really like something, I know it, and when I don’t, it’s like, okay, let’s get back to the talent.  we’re really focused to find the best talent we can find, because it certainly validates our show and we want our work to really come to light by finding the right winner and even getting the Top 10 perfect."

Dolly Parton tells Vanity Fair magazine that she doesn't want the state of Tennessee to erect a statue on her behalf. She thanked them for their consideration, She’s honored and humbled but given all that is going on in the world, Dolly doesn’t think putting her on a pedestal isn’t appropriate. Maybe, somewhere down the road several years from now or perhaps after she’s gone if they still feel she deserve it, then she’ll stand proud in the great State Capitol as a grateful Tennessean.

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi says her daughter taught her how to use the Tik Tok app “So, she actually taught me how to do Tik Tok with like the timing and cutting it up.  I had no idea what I was doing and she’s six.”  I watch the video’s still have not made one yet.  I need to find a six year old to teach me how to use it I guess…

Welcome to The List –

Kenny Chesney He says he’s changed over the years…But how…have you changed Kenny? “I don’t know! I feel like I’m more patient. I think when any artist gets started I feel like it’s in every artist to want it all at once and I was no different.  But, I think once you go through certain ups and downs in your life and you go through something as traumatic as what happened after ‘Irma’  you see how fragile everything is.  I think  you appreciate things more than you did before that.”

Darius Rucker says his record company wanted him to record "Beers And Sunshine" as quickly as possible ... "I made a lot of records for my label, and ‘Beers and Sunshine’ is the first time I’ve written a song and sent it out to them and they said, ‘Can we get that cut right now?’ That was a pretty good feeling. That was a pretty good feeling."

Here he gives us an insight into it. “The premise of ‘Young Rock’ is we take a look and we examine my earlier years, when I was a little boy, when I was a teenager, and then my later teenage years as I got to the University of Miami.  Like in life we all have these up’s and downs and I’ve had my fair share of them” On a side note he tells MovieWeb that his is still thinking about running for president in the future…he says if that’s what the people wanted…'Young Rock' premieres tonight on NBC

I didn’t know about this..
