Welcome to The List,
Rock . . . and I’m talking real, honest-to-God rock and roll . . . has been absent from the Super Bowl Halftime Show since 2010, when The Who took the stage. It’s overdue. But assuming that it makes its return in February, who should get the gig? Well, the game is being played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and Governor Joe Lombardo has an idea. At a recent press conference for the Super Bowl Host Committee, he was asked who should play the Halftime Show, and he replied, quote, “AC/DC! . . . I’m serious. Bring ’em back.”

Elton John was hospitalized over the weekend after he slipped and fell at his home in the South of France. His rep said, quote, “Elton visited the local hospital as a precautionary measure. Following check-ups, he was immediately discharged he’s now back at home and in good health.” Elton is 76 years old, and just wrapped up his supposed farewell tour.

In case you haven’t noticed, Zach Bryan is a superstar. As evidence, I give you next year’s Quittin’ Time Tour. It’s a 10-month trek featuring arena and stadium shows . . . and some of the openers are headliners. They include Sheryl Crow, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, and Turnpike Troubadours. It kicks off March 6th in Chicago, with a stop in Des Moines April 26th and will wrap December 14th in Tulsa, Oklahoma. . You can register for presale tickets at ZachBryanPreSale.com.

It seems like every country singer has a bar in Nashville, so this wouldn’t be shocking: Rumor has it that Morgan Wallen is opening up a bar-slash-venue, right by the Ryman Auditorium and Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row. This begs three questions: When will it be opening . . . what will it be called . . . and will it serve Bud Light? Unfortunately, there aren’t any answers yet. Morgan and his team haven’t commented.
