Can anyone explain MMJ's obsession with bears? Any interviews where they talk about bears? I'm still relatively new here so sorry if you guys have dicussed this before.

i think i remember reading a few things abour barrrs before, but i couldn't tell you where from...  maybe you could google my morning jacket and bears...

come to think of it, there might be something in the ism video which i think is in the streams section and is LOVELY to watch.  :)

Quoteism video? where??

crap, i lied.  somebody, at some time, somewhere, made a lovely video that went along with the making of it still moves.  it was really great, but apparently hard to find now.  let me look around, standby...

shoot.  i thought it might be at youtube.  does anyone have this?

also, i might've lied about the bear references in there, too.  except i remember something about how they decided to put the golden sparkly stuff on the stuffed bear to make it seem like honey, and something about relating to bears...

i might be wrong.  my memory is not what it once was...

Try this link (http://www.savefile.com/files/6489814), doeslittle.

It's pretty much my favorite Jacket video in the world.  

And about them loving bears, who doesn't?  Really, c'mon.. You got your polars, your koalas, your grizzlies, your pandas, your spectacled (http://www.thewildones.org/Animals/specBear.html)!!!!, etc.  I LOVE BEARS.

I have this burned on a VCD plus still have it on my HD .....I always thought the glitter was supposed to symbolize honey as well.Like winnie the pooh getting his mouth stuck in the honey jar.Yum

I never made the honey connection. I just figured they had a stuffed bear and decided to decorate it.

Oh yeah... hehehe.  Koalas are lovely marsupials.

In their place, allow me to add: SLOTH BEARS.
