Until about an hour ago, I was under the impression that MTV stopped producing "Unplugged" sometime in the 1990s. Why do I care? Aside from enjoying the show on occasion during my youth, my relationship to music is tied to the show. I believe the 10,000 Maniacs Unplugged was the first CD I ever purchased. (Yeah, feel free to make fun of me.) I became mildly obsessed with the band "Live" after I saw them on the show, and the Eric Clapton Unplugged CD led me to listen to Robert Johnson. And I believe the Unplugged session was really the only time I liked Nirvana.
Anyway, apparently the show is still going strong. In fact, they've had two shows within the past five months. Those artists? Korn and Ricky Martin. Way to go MTV. Always on the cutting edge, huh? Getting those up-and-coming, hot artists?
A few years ago...
Yeah, I've been working out.

Seriously.
Ricky Martin.
I do not understand why MTV and VH1 would discontinue two of the most well-known and respected shows in their networks - MTV Unplugged and Behind The Music. They don't even have Behind The Music reruns anymore...it causes sadness inside of me.
VH1's Bands Reunited (I believe that was the title) was also an excellent show. Who hasn't wondered, "What ever happened to the lead guitarist of Kajagoogoo?" Alas, that one was also nixed years ago in favor of all the crap they play now.
Although I admit to being entertained by VH1 a few years back when I was couch-ridden and blasted by pain-killers.
For the record, the 10,000 Maniacs Unplugged album is great. I won't make fun of you for that.
I will, though.
I did what I could, Ted...
I'm not worried, Ben. Amber doesn't have the ovaries to make fun of me to my face.
Yeah, I said it.
I have tons of ovaries to make fun of you to your face. A lifetime supply, some would say. They're big, and they're fertile, and they're just dying to kick some ass.
Just wait until book club, buddy.
Just wait.
