The List for Monday, December 19th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Eli Young Band’s Mike Eli speaks up about the one and ONLY thing he just HATES about the Christmas holiday….the glitter … “I live in a house full of girls and they like glitter and that’s just one of those things that is a part of the holidays. For better or for worse, when glitter starts floating around, I kind of give a little eye roll to Christmas. Because that is the only thing that I don’t like about Christmas is glitter.” Adding, it takes six to seven months before you ever get rid of all of it.

Thomas Rhett tells E! News that he gets the best feedback from his family. He says “Family is the one who is going to tell you if the song [stinks] or not … whether they come over to the house to swim or we’re going to the farm to hang out, my brothers-in-law are big about, ‘Play me the new stuff! Keep playing these songs.'”

Jackson Dean tells Songwriter Universe magazine that his hit “Don’t Come Lookin’” started from NOTHING literally.  The song didn’t have any lyrics at all.  It had the stomp and the attitude but no words, as it turns out…it was something he used to say to his mom before he left the house for a couple of days or go out in the woods for a little while. She would say, ‘Stay within earshot or stay alive no matter what occurs.’ I’d go, ‘Momma, if I don’t come back, don’t come looking for me.’ It was one of those where it came together.”

Ace Showbiz says Kate Hudson gave the gift of astrology for Christmas last year. She says, she gave everybody in her family their year in astrology. She gave them crystals; and gave them all a piece of jewelry they could wear that was very specific to them, and had someone give them each an astrological reading.”
