Excerpt from the latest issue of Knoxville Magazine interview with Kristian Bush, a native of K-Town, part of the group Sugarland...
The burning question Sugarland hears frequently these days is, "How's it feel now that you've made it?" to which Kristian laughs and poses the question, "We've made it?" He humbly retracts with a surprising response. "Actually, the moment I felt we'd made it was when we got to walk on to the set of Sesame Street and sing with the Muppets," explaining only five performers a year are extended an invitation to share the street corner with Big Bird, Snuffleupagus and crew. "You have to pinch yourself when you're singing next to Oscar's trashcan. It's a beautiful thing, talking to a puppet. You can't help yourself."
