101 Series Lesson 113: Best of MTV Unplugged

Something weird happened at the MTV in the early 90s . . . after doing nothing but show Peter Gabriel and Michael Jackson videos for a decade, the channel put a bunch of strangers in a loft and slowly started giving up on music. Yet, around this same time MTV managed to give us one last great musical gift: Unplugged. In Lesson 113, we tune the acoustic guitars, pull out the brushes for the drummer and spin the best performances from a pretty impressive archive. Now, do us a favor and show some fuckin’ videos MTV . . . no more of that Jersey Shore bullshite.
