Ladies, is there a certain song that puts you in the fightin’ mood? Does it happen to be “Mama’s Broken Heart“ by Miranda Lambert? Miranda had to stop playing it early in her shows because the fights would disrupt everything. It’s now the first song in what she calls “the final push.” It’s where she really kicks it into gear. She does “Mama’s Broken Heart”, then “Gunpowder & Lead”, “Little Red Wagon”, and “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)”. Quote, “We do this final push at the end of the show. So, if the girls are fighting, they [can] just fight through the rest of the set.”

OK! magazine says King Charles is considering making Prince Harry and Meghan Markle part-time Royals in order to end their family feud. A source tells the magazine, “Charles wants to fix the Harry and Meghan problem. The only way he’s going to stop them being a problem is to give into them, which it looks like he is going to do.

Getting a little background on Jackson Dean, he tells EverettPost.com that his entire family worked construction. The ‘Don’t come Lookin’ singer says he and his brothers, from birth, worked for their father. He always worked construction. Just manual labor. Never worked in a restaurant, never did anything like that. It was hard, but rewarding work.”

And lastly…If you're a DIEHARD FAN of Jelly Roll, you may have known this, but for everyone new to the bandwagon: Jelly recorded a song 10 years ago with Uncle Kracker… called "Sunday Morning" .

Welcome to The List,
The last couple of years have been quite a whirlwind for Jackson Dean, and he’s had the opportunity to check off quite a few things on his career bucket list, including several venues he’s always dreamed of playing. But are there other venues he still dreams of performing in? “I’ve already done the Ryman, I’ve already done the Opry, I’ve done Red Rocks. Now, the funny thing is like, where are we gonna go next? I mean, the next step is to headline these places for sure, but where’s the next place? It’s a really great question I haven’t been able to answer for a little while. And I’ve been thinkin’ about, you know, where’s the next goal? I’ve even thought about all the O2s over in Europe and stuff. And I’m sure there’s stadiums over there and places over there that I don’t know about that I’d love to go. But I mean, I’ve been three years tourin’ around this country and gotten to all the lower 48 and played so many places. But yeah, we’re gonna keep settin’ goals for ourselves, and we’ve just checked so many off at this point ,you know. It’s a funny little problem to have.”

With the New Year quickly approaching, a lot of people will be making resolutions to improve certain aspects of their life. Considering Tim McGraw is probably one of the fittest guys in country music, his resolution probably won’t have to do with working out or eating healthier. So, we wondered if there was something in Tim’s life that he feels could use some improvement. “Gosh, there’s way more things on my list that I need to get better at than there are things that I’ve gotten better at. You know, we’re all a work in progress and every day you’re trying to do something to make yourself a better person. Some days you fail at that and some days you don’t. It’s hard not to dwell on the things that you’ve done wrong, but if you dwell on those things you sort of get lost in the muck. And my philosophy, I don’t always accomplish it, but all you can do is try to do the next best thing. You know, if you do something wrong, just try to do the next best thing.”
