Like many 80’s babies, I was into “Ghostbusters” growing up- for some reason, Egon was my favorite character.
Anyhow, the Ghostbusters franchise continues to this day, with a new movie called “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” which features some of the original cast like Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson, as well as some of today’s biggest stars like Paul Rudd (LOVE him!). I’m thinking with this cast, you can’t go wrong.
The trailer just came out this week, and it looks pretty dang fun:
Who you gonna call? Duh.
“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” hits theaters March 22nd.
He announced his album and tour this past week, as well as drop a new single “Selfish”, which is sure to be a huge radio single.
And to top off a pretty stellar week?
Being the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live”- it was his first time on the show in 13 years, and he did not disappoint.
Here’s his new single “Selfish”:
And he also performed another new song “Sanctified”:
Justin still has it, and always will. One of the modern greats for sure!
Justin’s new album “Everything I Thought I Was” drops March 15th, and his “Forget Tomorrow” wolrd tour will hit up 22 dates so far, and you can get them at http://justintimberlake.com
It seems all the controversy from the past few years has only served to propel his to the top- not just of the Country music charts, but the all-genre charts as well. In fact, Morgan Wallen had not only the #1 overall song of 2023 with “Last Night”, he also had the #1 album with “One Thing at a Time”. Again, this is across ALL the genres, not just Country. Not even Taylor Swift could pull that off this past year.
So, of course, some shady people that Morgan used to work with before he hit it big are going to try to capitilize on that.
Here’s what happened, according to Morgan himself:
Yeah, pretty damn shady, but not suprising, sadly.
So, Morgan pulled a Taylor Swift and re-recorded the fan-favorite “Spin You Around” this week:
Again, the song was written a decade ago, when Morgan was just starting out. It’s not terrible, but you can tell Morgan has definitely grown as a writer since he put out this song. That being said, I’m sure this song will still be streamed like crazy, because, Morgan Wallen.
Oh, and here he is performing it live in 2015:
The hair is just… no.
Also, Morgan said he is hitting the studio next month to begin working on his next project.
Like it or not, Morgan ain’t going anywhere, and I’m totally ok with that.
I remember meeting him and HARDY a few years back at CRS (Country Radio Seminar) in Nashville at the bar at the OMNI hotel. It was right before they hit it big, and they were drunk as hell and just having a good time with their matching mullets. It’s fun to see how far they’ve come since that night in 2019.
Recently, it was announced that a “Road House” remake starring Jake Gyllenhal was in the works.
Not sure how I felt about that, since the original starring the late Patrick Swayze is an 80’s classic.
Well… the offical trailer just dropped, and… it might be worth a watch!
Check it out:
Damn… Jake has been hitting the gym!
Although, lets be honest, it probably won’t be as great as the original- remakes raely are- it does look like it could be fun to watch! Especially as Conor McGregor is involved.
The movie will be available exculsively on Amazon Prime starting March 21st.
Kacey Musgraves is one of the most beautifully unique artists of our time, and everything she records is really special.
This cover of Bob Marley’s classic “Three Little Birds” is no different.
If you need a pick me up today, here ya go:
Kacey took that, and absolutely made it her own.
I love it! So perfectly peaceful. Bob would be proud.
Kacey’s version of “Three Little Birds” is to be featured on the “Bob Marley: One Love EP” which goes with the movie which will be released in theaters February 14th.
Happy Friday!
She covered Whitney Houston’s “All the Man That I Need” during her “Kellyoke” segment on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, and of course, she freaking NAILED it.
Like to the floor and through it.
Covering Whitney is no joke, even for a season vocalist like Kelly. But she proved that there is literally nothing her incredible voice can’t do.
Justin Timberlake is BACK and ready to rule in 2024.
He just released his new sing;e “Selfish”, and it’s perfect, catchy pop, and I’m sure it’s ging to be a huge hit.
Yep, can totally here a #1 in there.
I mean, it’s Justin Timberlake.
Also, he’s still got it going ON. He was always my favorite of all the boy band guys… he has the looks, talent, and a hell of a sense of humor, and it clearly has served him well.
To be fair, nothing will ever beat this gem:
Pure freaking GOLD>
Justin’s new album “Everything I Thought I Was” will be released sometime this year. Still waiting on that release date- although with “Tonight Show” and “SNL” appearances this week, I’m sure we’ll know soon!
I am so excited for 2024 music-wise, and we are just getting started!
Ya’ll know I love me some Miranda Lambert, so naturally I get excited over every little thing she puts out musically. Lately she’s been posting acoustic porch sessions of her covering Merle Haggard, and they’re perfection.
Videos like that show why Miranda is a legend already. Her voice and style is absolute Country perfection.
Hopefully she’ll give us some new music this year? I know she’s been writing with Ashley Monroe and Wade Bowen… so you know whatever comes of those session is going to be killer.
One of my favorite songs of the past year is Cody Johnson’s “The Painter”, and he just released the music video to it, and it’s basically the love story between he and his wife Brandi, to whom he has been married to for fourteen years.
Of course, the video makes sense, as Brandi is who inspired the beautifully written love song.
Way to up the game for all the guys, Cody!
Ad in case you missed it, here’s Cody’s tribute to his wife at the CMA Awards last November:
I still get choked up watching this.

You may remember that Elle King made headlines a few weeks ago with her drunk performance on New Year’s Eve on Nashville’s Big Bash. It was on live TV, and personally, I didn’t see the problem. It was NYE, Elle is known for being a party girl, and she still had a solid (if no a bit slurred) performance.
No harm, no foul, right? I’ve seen waaaaay worse.
Welllll… Elle King is raising eyebrows again for another drunken performance. This time, this past Friday night at the Ryman for the Dolly Parton Tribute in honor of the legend’s 78th birthday. She was obviously lit UP (hey, she admitted it) and her introduction had a lot of people ticked off, and some say it was disrespectful to Dolly.
Her performance of “Jolene” that found I found wasn’t awful, though…
Look, I have nothing against drinking. I love my wine, but I have also learned in my older years about a thing called moderation. Now in my early twenties, when I was young, dumb, and had no real big responsibilities, sure, I overdid it, and even had my share of drunken nights on stage with cover bands. But nothing near the level that Elle is performing at. She is one heck of a talent, and I really do like her, and enjoy her music.
I hope she slows her roll a bit…
If nothing else, because taking care of a toddler with a hangover can’t be fun. Her son is about the same age as mine, and I can’t even imagine!
Then again, isn’t a double standard? Some of Country’s greats were complete hot messes- Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Willie, Waylon, the list goes on and on… and they were WAYYYY worse than the shennanigans Elle has been up to these past few weeks.
Except they’re men, and they can get away with it.
What do you think?
Does Elle need to slow it down a bit?
Or should she be able to have her fun as long as she’s not hurting anyone?
