Welcome to The List –
Charlie Pride may be gone, but Darius Rucker like so many fans just idolize Charlie Pride “Charlie went through a lot of stuff to do what he loved to do and he loved to sing country music. I would say no matter what happens to me as a black man in country music…I can handle it, if Charlie Pride could handle all the things he went through.”
Luke Combs has a lot of hit songs, awards and the man has got goals… “I’m definitely gunning for that Entertainer of the Year spot and winning that at some point, I think would be a huge moment for myself, whether that’s this year or not, we’ll see. I want to eventually, I mean I think, headline in stadiums, I think one day is something that I’m hoping to do and I just have loftier goals and play The Super bowl. I want to do the halftime show at The Super bowl.”
Liam Neeson may be going in a different direction with his career…he’s talking about appearing in a comedy. “Seth McFarland is writing something for me. We’re going to try to resurrect, I don’t know if you remember the Naked Gun films with the wonderful Leslie Nielsen. We’re going to try to resurrect one of those and see if it works.”
Time is ticking for President Donald Trump, and the word is he may have a last batch of presidential pardons…the question is Will Joe Exotic get a last-minute pardon? Joe’s lawyer Eric Love thinks so…so much so, that they have a limo waiting outside of the prison to pick him up. He says the first order of business…get his hair done and go get a McRib…. it’s all about priorities…
