To celebrate the entire Unplugged series now available on Paramount+, Jay is having an unplugged Three for Thursday. It’s amazing how impactful this series was for musicians growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, before watching your favorite artist perform was a quick search on YouTube. Jay highlights some moments from the series, which spanned twenty years from 1989 to 2009.

Songs:

• 10,000 Maniacs - “Because of the Night (Unplugged)”

• Maná - “Se Me Olividó Otra Vez (Unplugged)”

• JAY-Z - “Izzo (H.O.V.A.) Unplugged”

Get ready for it, it’s another News with Nick. Neil Young schedules a free concert in Ukraine, Bob Dylan did not show up for the Oscars, and Drake cancels the rest of his Australia & New Zealand tour due to a scheduling conflict.
