The List for Thursday, July 29th 2021

Welcome to The List,

We all have our country music hero’s…the ones that the moment they release a CD or even a song to stream on-line no matter WHAT it is we’re right there ..Miranda Lambert is no different  “I loved from Patti Loveless to Faith (Hill), Shania (Twain), Sara Evans. Then also the pop side, you know, Beyoncé, Destiny’s Child. I was loving people that had something different, that did something a little bit different”.  She says those aren’t necessarily my musical influences of course, but they’re influences to me as far as what they did later on in their careers versus when they started.

Luke Bryan is STILL looking for the perfect wedding gifts for Blake and Gwen…it’s on going and doesn’t look like it’s going to stop any time soon “It will be many many gifts in a big package, I’m just havin to get out there and go searching but ah…yeah, it’ll be like ‘Mullet Stimulator’ or something for Blake.  Probably gonna have to send Gwen some glasses.”

Sad news to report, ZZ Top Bassist Dusty Hill passed away in his sleep just days after taking a leave of absence because of a hip issue at his home in Texas AND Infomercial King Ron Popeil has passed the man who created the Pocket Fisherman and Hair in a Can, ‘The Bedazzler and the Chop O Matic and catch phrases like “But wait there’s more” and “Set it and forget it’  Ron was worth $200 million at the time of his death he was 86

US Weekly Magazine claims Alex Rodriguez loves being single now that he and Jennifer Lopez have broken up. A source tells the magazine, “A-Rod is living his best single life. He’s really enjoying [being] a bachelor. Meanwhile Kim Kardashian is STILL looking for someone that will date HER.

It seems to be a trend these days to have celebrity biopics, so it should come as no shock that Mark Wahlberg would be up for a biopic of his own. While the 50-year-old may not have one just yet, but, if a biopic does take place, the Ted star already knows who he would want to play him on screen Tom Holland…yep, Spider-Man…I KNEW Mark was a Marvel fan!!

The List for Thursday, March 26th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Hookup shows come and go. Paychecks apparently stay forever. Taylor Frankie Paul will still get her full Bachelorette salary. TMZ says the payday lands in the low to mid six figures. The season got shelved after that viral domestic violence video resurfaced. Reality TV motto. Love fades. Direct deposit survives.

-----

Some guys jog. Some guys apparently brawl with neighbors. “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson reportedly got into a physical altercation. Sources say intense behavior is kind of his brand at this point. He doesn’t think he crossed a line. Neither does the authorities,

-----

Country star meets horsepower. This feels aggressively on brand. Darius Rucker is now a NASCAR Cup Series team owner. He invested in Legacy Motor Club which competes at the top level. From singing about wagons to literally owning fast cars. That is what we call career acceleration.

-----

If you like free music. Nashville just planned your summer. CMA Fest announced around 150 artists for daytime stages. Names include Ernest, Melissa Etheridge, Tucker Wetmore, more. The free shows run June fourth through seventh downtown. Wallet stays full. Voice will absolutely not.

The List for Wednesday, March 25th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Ella Langley is getting ready to drop album number two. She says Dandelion will hit fans deeper than anything she’s done before. You can vibe casually… or go full lyric detective mode. She even compared the songwriting layers to Fleetwood Mac. Mark April tenth. Sad girl spring incoming.

-----

Reacher star Alan Ritchson just lived his own action scene. Police say he will not face charges after a street fight. Bodycam shows a neighbor approaching while he sat on his motorcycle. Things escalated and Alan reportedly defended himself pretty aggressively. Moral of the story. Do not poke action heroes.

-----

American Idol judges have some… very specific pre-show rituals. Lionel Richie takes a spoonful of olive oil. Yes really. Luke Bryan snacks on ranch and carrots like a chaotic toddler. Carrie Underwood crochets backstage to stay calm and focused. Somewhere Simon Cowell just rolled his eyes.

-----

The Yellowstone universe keeps getting bigger than a Montana sky. A new spin-off called Dutton Ranch is officially on the way. There’s talk fans might finally see Beth and Kayce reunite. Execs say scheduling two productions is the biggest challenge. Premiere date May fifteenth. Cancel your plans now.
