The List for Tuesday, October 1st 2024

Welcome to The List,

Pete Rose died yesterday.  He was 83.  There’s no word on the cause of death.  Pete is still MLB’s all-time hits leader and holds several other records.  But he’s still not in the Hall of Fame because of his gambling scandal.

Lainey Wilson was just added as a third host of the CMA Awards.  She will join Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning as co-hosts.  The ceremony takes place November 20th, live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Jelly Roll tells Interview magazine that he realized who he was making music for when he attended an NBA game last year. “My music is for middle America. Hardworking, back-sweating, blue collar people. I realize now that if I go to a basketball game, very few people sitting in the bowl will know me, but every person that works in the arena will. That brought so much clarity to my songwriting.”

Some guy paid over $3,000 for a guitar signed by Taylor Swift at a charity auction in Texas, then smashed it with a hammer.

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

The List for Thursday, February 5th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

-----

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

-----

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

-----

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.

Catch The List, with Jonathan Knight weekday afternoon at 4:20. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
