Welcome to The List,
Straying from the country side for a moment…Fans of glam rock are in luck – Mr. Big is moving forward with plans for a reunion tour in 2023. The ‘To Be With You’ band has been promising a comeback for years, especially after the tragic death of original drummer Pat Torpey in 2018. Now, frontman Eric Martin says that they are ready to hit the road and honor their late friend.

Cobra Kai fans are in an emotional quandary right now as they wait for Season 6 to premiere on Netflix. Last month, Netflix officially announced that Season 6 was in the works, but also that it would be the final season of the show. Cobra Kai has become one of the most popular Netflix original series in the entire catalog, and six seasons is a pretty good run by the streamer’s standards.

Blake Shelton is allegedly “miserable” in his marriage to Gwen Stefani. According to Radar Online, the pair were spotted not having a good time at NASCAR’s Busch Light Clash. Stefani spent part of the event doing commentary for Fox. Later, however, sources claimed that the singer and her country star husband appeared unhappy…I would probably say ‘bored’…Do the cars get above 50 miles per hour in that small space?

Alan Jackson’s CMT disorder won’t be keeping him out of the studio. During an interview on his daughter Mattie’s “In-Joy Life” podcast he said he doesn’t tour much, but the “creative part jumps out now and then” . . . and he feels like there WILL be new music on the way.

Radar Online claims 76 year old Cher is allegedly planning to elope with her 37 year old boyfriend Alexander Edwards…and the public reacts! (crickets)

Jo Dee Messina is on tour right now, and as an ode to her 1996 hit, it’s called the “Heads Carolina, Tails California” tour. It kicked off in North Carolina last week and will wrap up in California in November with a stop at Tailgates N’ Tallboys in Clinton Iowa June 9th. She’s also releasing a greatest hits album next month.
You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
Welcome to The List,
Keith Urban is reportedly planning a Bahamas getaway with Nicole Kidman and their daughters to reconnect as a family. Because nothing fixes family tension like sunshine, ocean views, and drinks with tiny umbrellas. Sources say the Bahamas is neutral territory, not tied to Nashville, LA, or lawyers.

AJ McLean says it’s time for a ‘90s pop Super Bowl halftime show featuring Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. Basically, he wants the halftime show to look like your middle school dance playlist. And honestly, I’m not mad. One “Bye Bye Bye” dance break and half of America is throwing out a knee.
-----
Megan Moroney is doing something shocking in 2026…charging affordable ticket prices. Her new “Cloud 9” pop-up tour is nine shows in nine cities for just nine bucks a ticket. Nine dollars. That’s less than a beer, less than parking, and definitely less than your emotional support concert hoodie.
-----
Hollywood legend Robert Duvall has passed at 95, and Tim McGraw paid tribute to his Tender Mercies co-star and friend. Tim said they even texted each other over the years about movies and memories. Which is wild, because somewhere out there was Robert Duvall…just casually texting Tim McGraw like, “Hey man, Tender Mercies is on again.”
You can catch The List weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
