Luke Combs tells The Times that his songs will always reflect beer and boring jobs. “Why do I sing about beer? Why do I sing about boring jobs? Because people who drink beer and have boring jobs are the fabric of our society. They’re also my fans … people who don’t like my music think it is bland, vanilla, songs for rednecks and moms in trucks. And if I’m honest, my music does have a lot of that because I had an everyday upbringing, living right in the middle of struggle and comfort, so I represent everyday people. Listen, man. Nobody who likes my music wants to get in their car after a job they maybe don’t love so much, and hear me tell them how terrible the world is or how they should feel or what to think. That is somebody else’s gig.”
Are you ready for a Capt jack Sparrow…..6? Pirates Of The Caribbean actor Lee Arenberg says a sixth movie is definitely being discussed. The star – who played bumbling pirate Pintel in the original trilogy – has not been involved in the franchise since 2007’s At World’s End, but he suggested a new film is on the horizon. “They’re definitely talking about it, as far as I know,” he told Kendall Talks TV about a sixth Pirates. It’s unclear whether the new installment will be another sequel or a reboot of the original franchise – which starred Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow – but last year, Disney brought Ted Elliot and Craig Mazin on board. Elliot co-wrote the first three films in the seafaring saga, while Mazin created Chernobyl.

Eric Church says he avoids social media so his fans can do the talking for him. Because apparently nothing says “rock and roll rebel” like crowd-sourced tweets. He told Billboard it’s always been about the music not memes, not threads just music. Let the fans tweet, he’ll stick to guitars and sunglasses.
