The List for Thursday, April 21st 2022

Welcome to The List,

Elle King has found that when the iron strikes…it strikes.  Speaking about her number one hit with Miranda Lambert…she NEVER thought it would make the mark it has….“Never in a million years would I have ever thought that a song that I wrote when I was about 24 years old would ever have the life that it has.  But for that song to go to number one means absolutely everything in the world to me.  Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I love you. I’m not going anywhere. I’m in country Elle King’s here to stay.”

The latest on  JLo and Ben Affleck getting married because like ME I’m sure you’re on the edge of your seat about this…Heat magazine claims Jennifer has turned into a bridezilla! She’s taken this Diva thing to new heights and it’s non-stop…She presented with countless options, for  super luxury honeymoon packages. But it’s not enough. She changes her mind constantly about everything and rings up the planners at all hours of the night. she’s driving everyone up the wall.”

Here’s something that might curl in your noodle…When Mitchell Tenpenny was young, he played drums in a hardcore Metal band.  His mother supported him, because . . . moms.  And then he grew up.  In college he focused on acoustic guitar and songwriting.   Mom didn’t have to pretend about liking that.  The first time he played her one of his songs she started tearing up and crying, tears of joy of course because he wasn’t playing all that screaming Metal music.

Alec Baldwin’s ill-fated movie “Rust” was hit Wednesday with the maximum possible fine by state safety officials in New Mexico for violations on the set that contributed to the death of a cinematographer.

Sighting “plain indifference” by the production and noted they “willfully violated” known industry safety protocols and imposed a $137,000 fine for firearms safety failures.

As for the guy that pointed the gun and pulled the trigger?  Well, he’s being sued civilly by the victim’s family.

The List for Tuesday, July 15th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The new Superman movie isn’t just saving the box office—it’s apparently saving people's mental health too. Fans say it’s helping them overcome depression and anxiety. Why? Because it’s full of hope, kindness, and James Gunn-level optimism. They’re calling it hopecore! Which sounds like a therapy genre for superheroes.

-----

Brad Pitt is 61 and somehow still looks like a Calvin Klein ad. People say it's not just his skincare line keeping him young. A Turkish plastic surgeon claims Brad might’ve had a facelift—thanks to a little scar behind his ear seen in his new movie. So maybe it’s not just eye cream and kale smoothies, huh?

-----

Darius Rucker was on stage in Atlantic City when his voice said, “Nope.” A few songs in, he apologized to the crowd and had to call it quits. Total pro move though, he gave everyone a full refund. I’ve heard concerts where the singer should’ve done that and didn’t.

-----

Lainey Wilson is bringing the bling!  She’s launching her own western-themed jewelry collection with rings, necklaces, earrings you name it. So now you can cry in your cowboy hat and your rhinestones. On-brand and bedazzled!

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
