Known for his broad taste in music, Keith Urban reveals he’s definitely digging Nashville’s next generation, and even has a couple favorites. (Audio) “I really like ‘Homeboy’ by Eric Church. I really like the last couple singles he’s had out. I think ‘Smoke A Little Smoke’ and ‘Homeboy’ are both really great sounding records, that’s why I like them on the radio. I think there’s a lot of great music happening in Nashville that’s unique to each artist.” While kicking off his Get Closer World Tour in Adelaide, Australia last week, Keith brought a lucky five-year-old fan named Nathan, onstage to help sing the hit “Days Go By” for the crowd. Keith wraps up his Australian shows this week, and kicks off his U-S tour dates June 16th in Biloxi, Mississippi.

HEALTH MOMENT
A mother's stress during pregnancy and breast-feeding may prompt changes in her infant's genes that increase the child's risk of obesity later in life, according to a new study in mice.
When mice in the study were put under stress – a low protein diet – during pregnancy, their offspring grew faster after weaning than did the offspring of non-stressed mice. After two months, the offspring of stressed mice developed belly fat and prediabetes, a condition characterized by abnormally high blood sugar levels.
The researchers think the mother's stress causes changes in the brains neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters stimulate appetite and can induce the formation and growth of fat cells. Stress may cause modifications of the offspring's genes that increase the activity of neurotransmitters, and in turn, increase the number of fat cells in the body.
However, more work needs to be done to see if stress produces the same effects in humans. In addition, the findings have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The study will be presented this week at the Experimental Biology 2011 meeting in Washington, D.C.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development just put out a report on work hours in 29 major countries. The two big takeaways are that Americans work too much . . . and the old "lazy Mexican" stereotype needs to go. --The average American works eight-and-a-half hours per day, between paid and unpaid work. The split is about five hours paid, plus three-and-a-half hours of unpaid work, like daily chores. --And that's a lot . . . but nowhere close to the people of MEXICO. They work an average of TEN hours a day, which is the most of any country in the study.
--The countries that work the most, in order, are Mexico, Japan, Portugal, Canada, Estonia, Austria, China, New Zealand, then the U.S.
--So who should inherit the "lazy" stereotype? BELGIANS. The people of Belgium work just over seven hours a day on average.
--They just beat out Denmark, Germany, South Africa, and France as the laziest countries.
And I leave you with this thought.
