The List for Tuesday, August 9th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Olivia Newton-John died yesterday morning, after a 30-year on-and-off battle with cancer.  After 25 years in remission, she announced in 2017 that it had spread to her lower back. Since her diagnosis, she helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars through the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre.  Olivia was born in England, but raised in Melbourne, Australia. She was 73.

Keith Urban shared a video of himself before a concert driving a drift kart around the venue.  He’s having so much fun that pouring rain doesn’t slow him down.  He captioned it, “While you are tailgating outside the venue.”

—–

Kanye celebrated the breakup of Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson in a now-deleted post.  It was a fake newspaper that said, quote, “Pete Davidson dead at age 28.”  He apparently took it down because it made Kim pretty upset. Twitter’s suggestions of who Pete Davidson should date next include Queen Elizabeth, Oprah, maybe a Minion.

—–

Carrie Underwood came out of the audience last Saturday to help a Tom Petty cover band do “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”.  It was at a place called Fox & Locke in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee.

—–

TMZ is reporting that Anne Heche is fighting for her life, currently in a coma and dealing with significant injuries in the wake of driving her car through a home in Los Angeles.  She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention.”  Police  believe Heche was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol when she committed at least 2 hit-and-runs before barreling through a home, igniting a massive blaze.

Alabama donated $25,000 to the flood relief efforts underway in Kentucky.  They did a show in Sharpsburg, Kentucky on Saturday and presented a check to The Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky . . . a non-profit that provides assistance to Kentucky families and businesses.

The List for Thursday, July 31st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Football is right around the corner so… warm up those nachos because Carrie Underwood is back belting “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” for lucky year thirteen. The new version kicks off September 7th when the Ravens tackle the Bills. Clear your throat, stretch your chips, and prepare to scream-sing along like it’s national cardio.

-----

Ozzy Osbourne just flipped the script on funerals no sobbing backstabbers, just a full-throttle rock-n-roll revenge party. Marching band blasting “Crazy Train” through Birmingham, dark jokes louder than the hearse, and a firm “no fake tears” sign for anyone who crossed Sharon. Even Elton John showed up, probably wearing earplugs.

-----

Miranda Lambert just clapped back at the internet gawking at her caboose. She posted a slow-mo strut video labeled, “Warned y’all ’bout my backyard swagger since 2014.” Basically saying: the view’s been scenic for a decade, folks kindly catch up, adjust your binoculars, and remember manners before ogling country royalty.

-----

Tim McGraw just went full cue-ball chic buzzed off the cowboy locks and rolled out a sharp gray goatee. The Country Wire’s photos prove it: he’s serving “silver-fox bouncer at a honky-tonk spa.” Saddle up, shampoo budget; Tim’s new look could cut wind resistance and maybe your heart rate.

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