The List for Wednesday, April 14th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Today we start with Jake Owen and his musical influences.  He talks about how his brother introduced him to a lot of different music when he was a kid. ”He was introducing me to everybody…from Depeche Mode, Def Leppard, Van Halen.  All the way to Run DMC, everything all over the map really, Otis Redding I remember him playing for me. So, he really is responsible for allowing me hearing music that I would have never heard from my parents.” But, Jake stopped on country music and the rest his history.

Morgan Wallen broke his silence since he was caught saying the “N-word” on camera. The country music singer has remained silent up until Tuesday when he posted several photos of a hand-written letter to his fans. He started off by acknowledging the unexpected success of his music, and then addressed the elephant in the room, while also noting that he will not be performing this summer.

Idris Elba talks about him playing James Bond … He says his mother thinks he’ll get the part but he’s focused on music and “The Suicide Squad” right now. “I’m definitely doing that, the Suicide Squad is coming out this year, that’s a great look.  I’m really excited about that.” The Suicide Squad hits theaters and HBO Max August 6th of this year.

Entertainment Tonight says the cast of ”ER” is reuniting for a reunion episode on Thursday, April 22nd. The reunion is going to benefit Waterkeeper Alliance, an organization that works to ensure every community has drinkable, fishable and swimmable water.. George Clooney, Julianna Margulies, Noah Wyle, Anthony Edwards and other cast members will take part in the reunion

The List for Thursday, December 11th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly going out of their way to respect Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift. They haven’t monetized the romance, they don’t splash her on the big screens, and they don’t blast her music in the stadium. Travis says he appreciates it because when he’s on the field, “it’s all about the team.”  Meanwhile, judging by how he’s been playing the last few games… it seems like his mind might be somewhere else. Maybe in a cardigan.

Tim McGraw stunned fans at a recent concert after stepping onstage in skin-tight suede pants with tassels down the sides. Parade Magazine says the Internet responded instantly with commentary like: “Dude raided Lainey Wilson’s closet,” “Lainey Wilson wore them better,” and my favorite — “Lainey McGraw.” I mean… if you’re gonna rock tassels, commit. Somewhere, Faith Hill is lighting a prayer candle.

-----

Jelly Roll just had the moment dreams are made of. While chatting on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Joe played him a recorded message from Craig Morgan officially inviting Jelly to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Jelly immediately broke down in tears. This is the kind of full-circle moment that hits harder than his songs. From jail cells to the Opry… man, that story writes itself.

-----

Sharon Osbourne revealed heartbreaking details about Ozzy’s final night. She said he asked her to kiss him and hold him tight, and that he was incredibly happy in his final weeks thanks to the “Back to the Beginning” concert. Say what you want about the Osbournes… but that man loved his music, loved his fans, and clearly adored Sharon until the very end. That’s a tough one.
