The List for Thursday, April 7th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Dierks Bentley received a Star on the Music City Walk of Fame. He jokes that his career has peaked. But for him, what song put him on his career path “When I was 17 my buddy Jack Brown, played me two songs one was Hank Jr’s ‘Man To Man’  which totally blew all the circuits in my brain.  One was Marty Stewart ‘That’s Country’.  Those two songs back-to-back, just totally, I just can even describe the certainty of knowing what I wanted to do.” So there were TWO songs and is it surprising at all that one of those was a Hank  Jr song….

Coco and Leila 4/1/2025

Our KIX Critters of the week are two cats who have found they like to hang around each other. Coco and Leila.

Leila is a  sweet and playful cat who loves to spend her time chasing her favorite mice toys and snuggling up in her cozy bed. She enjoys having space to roam around and explore, but her favorite moments are when she gets some chin scratches – they’re sure to make her purr! She’s not too fond of being picked up, but Leila is a friendly, affectionate girl who loves attention and will happily hang out with you once she feels comfortable.

Coco

Coco is a sweet and playful 2-year-old cat She enjoys spending her time with her favorite scratchers and cat trees, and she’ll appreciate a cozy perch to call her own!

While she’s cat-friendly, Coco can be a bit selective with her feline friends, so she’ll do best in a home with either no other cats or with other laid-back cats. She’s also good with children, but she thrives in a calm, adult environment where she can relax and build trust. Coco loves to play, especially with balls, and she’ll entertain herself for hours. When it comes to affection, she has a special way of showing her love—giving sweet little “love nibbles” and gentle licks. Her soft meow will melt your heart every time.

Our KIX Critters are two for one!! total adoption fee $50!! that includes everything including the microchip. Find out more

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!
