Welcome to The List,
As Thomas Rhett says in his song, ‘It feels good to be country again’ it sure has been a long road for him. “It doesn’t feel like that long ago, yet at the same time it feels like a century ago that I felt like I was in college just trying to figure it out. Today he feels more centered, loves to be outside, or fishing or sitting by a fire on a back porch.
Cole Swindell says his one-time duet partner, Dierks Bentley, has always been one of his idols and credits HIM with the idea of writing his own songs. When Cole was singing covers in college he realized he needed to make other people feel that way and write his own stuff…
US Weekly Magazine claims Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez may do another rom-com together ..please no…anyone remember ‘Gigli”…..Hoda Kotb of The Today Show. Asked if there was going to be a return of ‘Bennifer’ JLo responded, “I am happy. I’m always happy when you see me, Hoda … you can call me. You have my number.”
Comedian Gabriel Iglesias Hasn’t Gotten To Meet His “Space Jam” Co-Star, LeBron James … Gabriel plays Speedy Gonzales in “Space Jam: A New Legacy.” ‘I’m hoping that’s gonna happen sooner than later, I missed the red carpet that happened at Magic Mountain. So, the first chance I get I’m going to tell LeBron who Speedy was if he doesn’t already know.”“Space Jam: A New Legacy” is in theaters and streaming on HBO Max now.

Welcome to The List,
It’s been 40 years since Live Aid rocked the world—literally. Back on July 13, 1985, Wembley and JFK Stadiums tag-teamed a global concert watched by nearly 2 billion people. And now? CNN’s dropping a 4-part doc, and the UK is throwing it a full-blown birthday party. That’s right—Live Aid’s old enough to complain about back pain now!

Ozzy Osbourne has officially hung up the bat wings. His last-ever concert—"Back to the Beginning"—went down July 5th in Birmingham with Black Sabbath and a parade of metal legends. It was epic, emotional, and charitable! When he sang “Mama I’m Coming Home,” even the devils in the mosh pit teared up.

Jelly Roll clapped back HARD at people calling his wife a gold digger. He said, "She was a high-end escort when I met her—I was the broke one living in a van!" And honestly? The man married up! So maybe stop judging and start taking notes, huh?

Parker McCollum was asked the most country thing he’s ever done… and buckle up: He said, “Rode a horse bareback. Naked. In Crocs.” I—what?! That is peak country chaos right there. And no, there are no plans for a repeat performance. His words, not mine.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
When I heard that Alex Miller was opening for Rodney Atkins at the Marion County Fair. I knew I had to try and arrange a visit with him in the KIX studio. Thanks to his promoter JR Hughes and Alex's management for making it happen!!
