Welcome to The List,

We hope you had a great 4^th of July celebration, Alan Jackson was one of the multiple performers during PBS’ annual Fourth of July broadcast, A Capitol Fourth, on Sunday, and the country star took the stage to perform his hit “Drive (For Daddy Gene)” during the show. A/J was at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, other performers during this year’s A Capitol Fourth included Mickey Guyton, Jimmie Allen, Jennifer Nettles.

Mike Eli Of Eli Young Band says they LOVE Fireworks but with    family is better … “Because when you have young kids, that nostalgic moment of them sitting there with you watching the fireworks, it’s hard to beat that.” Fireworks goin off all night…just the best..especially when you’re trying to sleep.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is preparing for his space trip on July 20th. He will be accompanied by famous aviator Mary “Wally” Funk, who just turned 82 and will be the oldest person to fly in space. Jeff asked Mary when they return..open the hatch what the FIRST thing she’s going to say to her husband. “Honey, that was the BEST thing that’s ever happened to me.”

The Hollywood Reporter says there was something for everyone at the July Fourth box office.  Universal’s F9: The Fast Saga kept the pedal to the metal in its second outing with a four day holiday haul of $30.1 million estimated take. It was closely followed by The Boss Baby sequel and The Forever Purge in third place.
