I thought we could all use a warm and fuzzy after two straight days of Brittany Murphy overdose/anorexia news. This one is a real Christmas heartwarmer.

Keith Urban was a in a music star shopping for a new guitar last week, and struck up a conversation with a kid who was trying out a fuzz pedal (guitar effects device). The shop owner says that Keith and his band were in the store over half and hour trying out new six string and all the while the kid was messing around on the peddle.

After settling on a $1400 Maton (a good Australian-made guitar), Urban leans over and whispers, “How much is the pedal that kid’s playing?”

“$450,” Brennan says.

Urban: “Put it on my card with the guitar.”

Tym: “Do you want me to tell the kid?”

Urban: “Wait till I leave.”

Brennan recounts: “Keith pays, then on the way out, shakes the youth’s hand and says, “Merry Christmas”.

“Was that Keith Urban? He said ‘Merry Christmas’ to me,” the kid beams.

“Yeah,” says Brennan, “He just bought you that pedal.”

The kid was so “blown away” he was shaking, Brennan tells us.
