Underwear Breaks Into Country Music

Here comes another true confession. I love US Magazine. I'm addicted. I know it might seem shallow but after a long day it is great for a mindless read. Besides, how else can I keep up with who is divorcing who or who is having whose baby. Last night I am reading the magazine and I came across this ad and it made me laugh, so I decided to share.

Behind the Scenes...The Fruit Guys' Hot New Video

This week, we go behind the scenes for an exclusive sneak peek at country music's latest hit-makers, the Fruit Guys. We caught up with them fresh on the heels of filming the video for their smash debut single.

"When I wrote 'You Can't Over-love Your Underwear,'"recollects Apple, "I was in Soho enjoying some marvelous osso buco. And it occurred to me-this decade is all about comfort. Comfort food, comfort films. So I thought, 'Why not bring our own brand of comfort to the heartland?'"
Apparently, the Fruit Guys struck a chord with what critics have now labeled "Comfort Country." Fans recently created a website, http://www.fruitcountryvideo.com, where people can watch the video and nominate it for Video of the Year. Legendary Nashville producer Ian Henderson said it best: "Underwear spokespeople one day, country powerhouses the nest. Welcome to America."
