The night before Jackson was born, way back when we thought we had at least two months to go and lived in blissful ignorance of a NICU, Clarissa and I attended a Pete Yorn concert. I am not saying that the music of Pete Yorn caused the early delivery - though some might - but figured I would give all mommies to be out there fair warning to decide for themselves. To start it was a nonsmoking small venue and we sat the whole concert with a decent view, so it was not like Clarissa and I were jumping around or body surfing (though that would have been an interesting sight).
What is Mr. Yorn really referring to in his well known hit Strange Condition? Some might argue that he is referring to the condition of love, but I surmise that he is really referring to the condition of pregnancy. And the nerve of him to call pregnancy strange- what could be more natural. Here is an excerpt from another one of his more well known hits Life on a Chain, "Waiting over here, for life to begin, Still looking for the new thing, And you were the sunshine heading my front-line,I was alone, you were just around the corner from me." Need I say more? If that was not enough evidence to sway you, over the past two weeks, when I hit random on my Ipod to play for Jackson - it invariably plays a Pete Yorn song! Coincidence? I think not! Considered yourself warned...
