The List for Monday, February 8th 2021

Welcome to The List –

Making your Grand Ole Opry debut is special for any artist, and Kane Brown is marking that country music milestone in a unique way.  The upcoming special Grand Ole Opry: 95 Years of Country Music not only highlights memorable moments in the venue’s more than 90-year history, it also marks Brown’s official Opry debut. Additionally, Darius Rucker surprised Lady A with an invitation to join the Opry while taping their rendition of “Forever and Ever, Amen” for the show.

Jason Aldean his wife, Brittany, serenaded Navy Rome to mark her second birthday last week. They sang “Happy Birthday” to her…and Navy Rome? Well, all she cared about was her balloons…Ya gotta have balloons…

Robert Downey Jr. talks about the best thing about being part of the Marvel Universe. “The greatest thing for me, because as a fellow..just..I love this stuff, I geek out over it was…I got to experience it, by playing it. It was just unforgettable.”

Today we honor the passing of Christopher Plummer …known for his roles in “The Sound of Music,” “Malcolm X,” “A Beautiful Mind,” “Knives Out,” and many other films. He says he never became a true “movie star” because he kept returning to stage performances. “I always go back to the theater, and that’s very hard for film people and Hollywood people to understand.  He must be dead…he’s either dead or he’s in the theater which is the same thing. “Academy Award winning actor Christopher Plummer died peacefully at home on Friday at age 91.

The streaker that ran onto the field during last night’s Super Bowl was tackled by security at the Buccaneers goal line. He was wearing a one-piece, pink thong women’s bathing suit….and I think THAT was the most exciting thing that happened at Super bowl 55
