Before I hit "Play" on the music player, the only time I've heard this song was a hook used in a radio commercial to promote a concert at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Now that I've heard the whole thing, I think I need to see a video of Jennifer Nettles singing -- mostly because I have to see what bugs your wife. :-)

I'm with Julie. I really can't stand watching Jennifer Nettles do anything. The corn pone yowwww drives me nuts.

You're killing me, dude. This conversation is turning into one we would have had over beers long ago.

In the moment, when we were all laughing and dancing, no, it wasn't the right time to discuss the birds and bees, especially after Julie and I looked at each other, started cracking up and Jake moved on to looking at comic books.

I think it depends on the child when to have THE TALK. Jake hasn't expressed and interest in knowing (to me) so we haven't had it yet.

So you knew what to say, you just didn't want to say it.....

Is seven too early?

Well, yes, you're right Mr. Vladika, but in this case, when the singer is clearly referring to having sex, I wasn't quite ready to go there with my 7 year old.

I am surprised that Jacob's question was perplexing and unanswerable. It seems the theme of many of your posts is at the heart of his question; the closeness of your relationship with another where words are either not necessary or insufficient.

Just a thought.

Bonus song: Ellis Paul's 'Kristian's Song' - originally titled 'Mr. Lonely' but adapted as a tribute to friend and collaborator Kristian Bush

Check out The Jennifer Nettles Band, if you can find it. This was her band before she hooked up with Sugarland. It's a lot more bluesy and less mainstream country. And if you like that, see if you can find Soul Miner's Daughter, which was her band before going solo; it's more eclectic-hippy college music than country, but her voice is the same all throughout. She toured around the south a lot with those bands. We must've seen her a half dozen times in little places around Raleigh - man, the woman can sing the roof off a small club!

Sounds like there's a need for a Popdose guide to Kristian Bush.

Sugarland is fine, but it's worth noting that Kristian Bush made a lot of terrific music before the band, both on his own and with Andrew Hyra in the woefully underrated Billy Pilgrim.
