The List for Monday, March 31st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Will Smith is back — THIS time, dropping beats instead of slaps! His new album, ‘Based on a True Story’, kicks off with the track “Int. Barbershop — Day,” where he declares: “Will Smith is canceled.” Then he hints it’s because of his skin color… which is an interesting take, considering, well… 2022 Oscars, anyone? Maybe the cancellation had a little more… punch to it.

Morgan Wallen Pulls a Houdini on SNL—Poof, He’s Gone! Morgan Wallen caused a stir by making an early exit from Saturday Night Live. During the traditional end-of-show goodbyes, Wallen hugged host Mikey Madison, then pulled a classic Irish exit—vanishing offstage before the credits even rolled. Fans were left wondering if he had a pressing engagement or just really, really wanted to beat the traffic. Moments later, he posted a photo of a plane with the caption, “Get me to God’s country.” Guess when Morgan says, “Last Night”, he means right now!

The quest to find country music’s hottest man continues. Trying to find that country artist is serious business—like, tractor-stuck-in-the-mud serious. And after some jaw-dropping upsets, we’re down to just eight country legends battling it out!  In the New School Bracket: Scotty McCreery vs. Warren Zeiders and  Jackson Dean vs. Riley Green.  In the Old School Bracket: George Strait vs. Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw vs. Keith Urban.  These matchups are tighter than skinny jeans at a honky-tonk. May the best boots win!

Harry 4/15/2025

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS HARRY!!  Harry is a bit shy at first, but once he trusts you, he’s all about you. Harry loves attention and will show his affection in the sweetest ways. When he's not running around the ledges in the community room, you’ll catch him sitting in the window, rubbing against the glass like he’s asking for a petting session  (it’s adorable!).

Harry didn’t have a lot of human interaction as a kitten since he was sick and in quarantine, so he’s still warming up to people. But all he really needs is someone who can offer patience and love. He’s sure to become your best buddy once he feels safe and loved.

Harry's adoption fee is just $25.00 because he is the KIX CRITTER OF WEEK!!

Harry is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, FeLV/FIV tested, and microchipped, so he’s ready to start his new life with you!

If you’re looking for a calm, sweet cat  Harry could be the perfect fit. Come meet him in ARL community room today!

 

Check out the video of him and his buddies!

The List for Monday, April 14th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Ladies, start your... rockets! Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, and Gayle King are making history today, launched into space on Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin rocket. It took off at  9:30 a.m. Eastern. A seat can cost up to $450,000—or, you know, slightly less than a weekend at Coachella with VIP passes. The first seat with Bezos sold for $28 million... for that price, the rocket better have reclining seats and a drink cart.

Will Smith dropped a new album and, well... it landed with less of a slap and more of a soft tap. “Based On A True Story” sold only 268 copies in the UK—so basically just his extended family and a couple of curious Amazon shoppers. It didn’t even crack the Billboard 200 in the U.S., but he’s not giving up. He’s planning two more albums and a European tour. Say what you want—he slaps back.

-----

Ed Sheeran’s thinking about going country—and not just because he wore flannel once. He says Nashville’s his favorite U.S. city and he's already teamed up with Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton. But Ed insists he won’t just dip his boots in—he wants to do it right. Because, as we all know, once you go country, you never go... back to math rock? Alan Jackson warned us: "She’s gone country, look at them boots!"

-----

Eric Church is turning Red Rocks into Revival Rocks this July with three unique shows! July 12th, 13th, and 14th—three nights, three setlists, and probably three whiskey-soaked singalongs to “Springsteen.” It’s the kind of show that makes you scream, cry, and question why you ever left your cowboy hat in the car.
