The List for Tuesday, April 5th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Sam Hunt Says his hit song ’23’ was inspired by a trip to the beach! ‘ … “That may have had something to do with it. We were down there and it’s easier to tap into that nostalgia when you’re at the beach, thinking back to trips you know from your youth. But who knows? But I’m glad that it worked out that day because we wrote it in probably two hours, which is pretty rare for me.” He’d been trying to work up to if for several years and a lot of times you’re just one word or little change away from an idea…the idea came getting sand between your toes.

Tim McGraw like most of us loves taking family road trips.  Can you imagine Tim traveling just like Clark W. Griswold From “National Lampoon’s Family Vacation” … “I’ve got a 15-year-old Cadillac Escalade that I love. It’s like my Griswold family cruiser. I just love that car, and we’ll do the southern route and go to L.A. and then go up to Northern California and then take the northern route back, and we’ve really enjoyed it.” I wonder if Tim McGraw HAS a cousin Eddie…he would almost HAVE to…

Jake Gyllenhaal has a new movie out this weekend called “Ambulance” he was talking to Jimmy Kimmel last night apparently director Michael Bay’s home is big…“It took a while for us to find each other, it’s a very large home.  It’s huge and it’s filled with transformer memorabilia.  I ran into Bumble Bee before I ran into him.”Yeah, I can’t imagine Michael Bay having an understated house…We’ll preview “Ambulance” Thursday with ‘At The Movies’
