The List, for Friday, April 23rd 2021

Welcome to The List,

 

Today a couple Country Music Superstars talk about their musical influences and how special the music is…we start with Jake Owen and his musical influences started in southern rock and his first CD? “I remember the first album I bought on CD, was the ‘Shake Your Money Maker’ Black Crowes record.  What I loved about it, was growing up in Florida..you know Florida is famous for Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynrd, I’ve loved that southern rock I always did and so to me Black Crowes had that influence of southern rock.”

 Dylan Scott talks about his new single ‘Nobody’ he says he knew the song was special the moment he wrote it but why? “There’s nothing to crazy about it, it’s a real simple lyrical song.  The melody was catchy and so I felt really good about it from the beginning. Apparently, it’s turned out to be what I thought it was going to be.”

 After Blake and Gwen get married don’t expect to see much of them in the spotlight.  The Star Magazine reports that they’re looking at less work.  They don’t want to run the risk of burnout…and speaking of Blake, Snoop Dogg who is the Mega Mentor on this season of “The Voice” tell Entertainment Tonight that he and Blake may record a song together once this season of “The Voice” ends.

 The Academy Awards will not have a host this year. Fifteen Hollywood A-listers will work as presenters…and you can watch it Sunday at 7 on ABC…The Academy Awards means it time for the Razzie’s as well, honoring the worst in film, are going to be announced on Saturday night. Here at the nominees

The List for Monday, April 6th 2026

Welcome to The List,

WKRP is finally becoming a real thing after 48 years, and radio people everywhere just felt a chill. The legendary sitcom made Cincinnati famous without even having a real station. Now the actual call letters are being sold, and someone’s bringing WKRP home. Somewhere, turkeys are nervous and DJs are smiling.

-----

Carrie Underwood says the secret to staying sane in fame is faith. She says the industry can make everything about you real fast. Faith keeps her grounded when everything else is trying to lift her too high. So basically, humility is her real number one hit.

-----

Zach Top says a bad round of golf can wreck his whole mood, which feels very relatable. Instead of throwing clubs, he writes songs about it like a classy human. Turns out his sadness already had a soundtrack, his own song “Between the Ditches.” Nothing like turning a bogey into a ballad.

-----

Britney Spears’ life is still headed to the big screen, even with recent drama swirling around her. Universal says they’re in it for the long haul and ready to tell the full story. Apparently, that includes love life chaos, music fame, and everything in between. Somewhere, Justin Timberlake is allegedly pacing and stress-eating popcorn.

The List for Friday, April 3rd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Taylor Swift’s wedding guest list is already causing drama, and we’re not even at the cake yet. Apparently, Kim Kardashian is a hard no after all that Kanye chaos. Sources say Taylor wants zero bad vibes on her big day. Which honestly makes sense, nobody wants awkward small talk at the open bar. Moral of the story, bring a gift… not baggage.

-----

Megan Moroney just proved pre-show routines don’t have to be all zen and candles. She says it’s loud, messy, and basically a backstage sleepover. Music blasting, friends everywhere, chaos level high. Because if it gets too serious, she starts overthinking everything. So yeah, sometimes the best prep is just controlled madness.

-----

Jo Dee Messina is leveling up her tour snacks. Gone are the soda and basic chicken, hello protein everything. We’re talking shakes, bars, Quest chips, hydration. And yes, still a glass of wine because balance matters. Fitness goals…

-----

Julia Roberts might be heading back to rom-com land, and fans are ready. She and Richard Gere have said no to Pretty Woman 2. But a fresh romantic comedy reunion is back on the table. Because sometimes you just need that classic chemistry again.
