The List for Monday, April 29th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Happy 91st Birthday to Willie Nelson!  His birthday is today . . . and tomorrow.  Yes, that’s right…Willie was born in Abbott, Texas on April 29th, 1933 but very late at night.  He said  “I was born before midnight on the 29th but it didn’t get registered in the county courthouse, until the next day.  So, it went out officially as the 30th.  So, I just do both days.”

“Entertainment Weekly” made a list of 25 movies that will take you back to childhood.  It includes “A Goofy Movie”, “Air Bud”, and some more surprising ones like “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”…for ME it was Star Wars: A New Hope and Cheech and Chong: Up in Smoke…neither of which are children’s movies…but I had a weird childhood anyway… (You can see the complete list at EW.com.)

Tornadoes on Friday have caused so much damage to the midwest.  One of the first cities to get hit was Omaha, Nebraska.  Zach Bryan made a statement in support of the victims, since he used to live there. He says, quote, “I want to offer some honest prayers and hopes to the communities affected . . . The band and I are standing with you guys as we are playing some shows in Omaha . . . we love you so much and we’ll do all we can to help.”  He didn’t just make the “statement” He actually showed up to help in the affected area!!

If you think the new Taylor Swift record  “The Tortured Poets Department” is for kids…you’d be wrong…apparently she’s all grown up and it has SOME parents upset….The new album has 57 swear words, which is a 5,600% increase in profanity from her first album.  The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Peg 4/22/2025

Our KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS PEG!! She described as the "The Goodest Dog on the ARL website!

Peg is a 1-year-old lab mix with a heart full of energy and legs made of springs—she can jump as high as 6 feet! This lively girl is looking for an active family that can keep up with her adventurous spirit. She’s always ready to play and explore, making her the perfect companion for outdoor activities.

Peg is dog-friendly, so if you have a dog at home, a meet-and-greet will be required to make sure they’re a good match.

Peg is a bit cautious around men, especially those wearing hats or hoodies, she’s a sweet and loving dog who will warm up with time and patience.

Her adoption fee of just $75, because she is our KIX Critter of the Week,  covers her spay, vaccines, microchip, and heartworm test. If you’re looking for a high-energy, fun-loving companion who will bring joy and excitement into your home, Peg might just be the perfect fit for you!

The List for Monday, April 21st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Morgan Wallen just dropped the tracklist for his new album I'm the Problem—and surprise! He wrote 22 of the 37 songs. Yup, thirty-seven. Man’s working harder than a coffee machine on Monday! He’s got his first-ever collab with a woman—Tate McRae—and some familiar voices like Post Malone, Eric Church, Hardy, and Ernest. It’s already breaking records before it's out May 16th, and his tour kicks off June 20th in Houston. This thing’s about to explode like a beer can in a bonfire!

Aaron Rodgers says football’s not the only drama in his playbook—he’s got personal issues stealing the spotlight. On The Pat McAfee Show, he spilled that life’s been “interesting” since the Jets said buh-bye in February. These days, he’s lifting weights, soul-searching, and spooning with his dog, Apollo. As for retirement? He’s not ruling it out, saying, “I’m open to anything, attached to nothing.” Translation: he might throw one more pass... or start doing yoga in the woods with Shailene again.

-----

The Daily Mail says Johnny Depp might be swash bucklin’ his way back into that eyeliner and rum breath as Captain Jack Sparrow in a brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean flick! Disney’s reportedly close to sealing the deal—yeah, even with all the past drama. Word is, the script’s done and this is a full-on reboot. Translation? More Jack. More chaos. And probably way more guyliner.

-----

Brooks & Dunn will be honored the night before the 60th ACM Awards during the "Play Something Country" gala.  Eric Church . . . Cody Johnson . . . Megan Moroney . . . Keith Urban . . . and Lainey Wilson will all be on-hand performing renditions of Brooks & Dunn's biggest hits.
