The List for Friday, August 27th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Jameson Rodgers hit ‘Cold Beer Calling My Name’ continues to do well and climbing the charts…How did this song come about? “We wrote this song actually two or three years ago. It took us like three sessions to finish it. We just wanted to write a little fun, upbeat kind of song and here we are two or three years later and it’s my single at radio.”  Sometime if you wanna get it right…it takes time…

Tim McGraw talked to Esquire magazine about getting sober in 2008, and he credits his wife Faith Hill for helping him commit to that decision.  Saying”When your wife tells you it’s gone too far, that’s a big wake-up call. so, now, he’s replaced drinking with exercise…He does his ‘meet and greets’ then he and the band go for a 4 or 5 mile run…then straight into the dressing room and then the stage. He says it’s all timed out.

A source tells the newspaper, “Tom had been driven around in the car while in Birmingham and some of his luggage and belongings were inside it when it was taken. How does a BODYGAURD afford a $150,000 BMW!!!

The List for Thursday, February 12th 2026

Welcome to The List,

We are saddened to report that James Van Der Beek has passed away at the age of 48 after battling stage 3 colorectal cancer. His family confirmed the news on social media, sharing that he had been fighting the disease since August 2023. Van Der Beek became a household name as Dawson Leery on Dawson's Creek, a show that defined a generation of television. He leaves behind his wife and six children. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans.

Players on the winning Super Bowl team get $178,000 from the NFL. But Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold could reportedly lose money because of California’s “jock tax.” Out-of-state players get taxed based on duty days spent in the state. With his massive contract and bonuses, estimates say he could owe between $200,000 and $250,000. Win the ring, lose to taxes. Classic.

Luke Combs just revealed the full 22-song tracklist for his new album The Way I Am. It includes a duet with Alison Krauss. And a song written by Cody Johnson. Twenty-two songs is not an album. That is a weekend.

Kelly Clarkson is reportedly ending her talk show and says she has no regrets. Sources say it is about quality of life, not money. She is excited, but sad to leave staff she considers family. Sometimes success is not about doing more. It is about breathing again.
