The List for Wednesday, October 13th 2021

Welcome to The List,

At the beginning of a music career, it’s not always an easy one.. Just ask Maren Morris she once played to an empty bar… “I definitely remember a few mental breakdowns along the way. Like, in a bar, where no one showed up for our show. And wondering, ‘Can I do this? Am I suppose to be doing this?’ And yeah, looking back, I’m so glad I went through the struggles and the highs and the lows because it makes me so much more appreciative of what’s happening now.”

Tim McGraw shocked fans in Reno, Nevada last weekend when he jumped off stage to confront a heckler. He was getting booed by some in the crowd because he  forgot the lyrics to his song “Just to See You Smile.” McGraw hopped off the stage to get in their faces.  He later explained he had been working 48 hours straight shooting the new Yellowstone prequel series, 1883. He asked the audience to forgive him if he didn’t sound his best or if he missed a few lyrics, and in general, they seemed to do so.

The Rock tells Vanity Fair magazine that he has spoken to several politicians about running for president IN 2024.  But tells the magazine “At the end of the day, I don’t know the first thing about politics, I care deeply about our country. And—there’s no delusion here – I may have some decent leadership qualities, but that doesn’t necessarily make me a great presidential candidate. That’s where I am today.”

Ron Howard tells Female First that Fonzie caused him to lose his hair. “The biggest stressor of all was Fonzie. Not Henry, but Fonzie. It did not escape my notice that as the season went on, the Fonz was getting more and more screen time. I didn’t handle my stress particularly well.  My hair started thinning.
