Jack Ingram’s sweet, profane nothings

Texas country-rocker Jack Ingram had the best love song of the weekend Sunday night. Aptly titled "Love You," it's a delicate ode to a cheating girlfriend, his rusty pickup and his fondness for the "only four letter word that will do" in such times. Here's a hint -- the word's not "love." It's also not printable in a family-friendly music blog. And it accurately sums up the kind of craftsman insouciance that Ingram has rode to some commendable chart success on his 2007 album "This Is It." I wouldn't want him whispering such tender-hearted pillow talk in my ear, but it's a great prompt to hit the drink tent and get bitter about some exes.
