The List for Thursday, July 14th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Justin Moore talks about how he lived his hit song ‘With A Woman You Love’ … “I remember when my wife and I first started datin’ 20 years ago, I would claim to my buddies that I would never do this, I’d never do that. I’d never hold her purse at the mall, I’d never have a little dog sleepin’ in bed with me – all those types of things. And clearly I was wrong, because I’ve done all of the above and much more.” Adding…When you’re with the person you wanna spend the rest of your life with, you’ll go above and beyond, even if it’s stuff that your buddies might make fun of you for down the road. It’s all worth it.”

Tim McGraw remembers his first car.  Saying he used gold thumbtacks to keep the head liner up, he got his first ticket in it…He really loved it, it was a gift from his grandparents who didn’t have much but they had that car and it meant a lot to them that gave it to him, and it meant a lot for him to have it.  I wonder if he eventually sold it for 7500 OBO…
