4. Wasn't thinking about the Clapton.

I remember he released his as an album, didn't he? Had that song about his son on there.

2. I've always REALLY loved good unplugged versions from individuals/bands who/that...

... are usually considered "electric".

Their songs (at their best) sound like creative and differently expressive covers
of their own original works.

.
My band had a funky/bluesy funny piece called "Fear of Disease" (it was originally
inspired by Tone-Loc's "Funky Cold Medina&quot . The rhythm guitarist and I, while
working on writing and/or improving new material, did it as an acoustic piano bar
greasy lounge singer cover.
.
We never did it live as we couldn't go more than a few lines without becoming
helpless with laughter.

I think marijuana was involved.

5. I always have too

I like to think you get maybe a little glimpse into the composition process.

I'm pretty sure marijuana may have been involved for a lot of these shows. I think the lounge needs some Fear of Disease.

3. me like

Hey,
I haven't watched MTV since they switched to all "reality" tv 24/7. I did watch a lot of the Unplugged when they were on. I especially enjoyed Dylan and REM.

Peace
