Wonder if he'll play an electrified version of "Reunited" by Peaches & Herb on that thing. :lol: I wonder if you can play an electriced version of "Reunited?" or would even want to. :?

And last night he played it live for the first time. Excellent cbs interview culminating in a bit of footage from it's debut at the Beacon Theater, nyc:

"You know you're on the radio too much when even you change the channel." :lol: :lol:

"A pop star's career lasts 18 months. A musician's career lasts a lifetime."

Very cool to see him with the '54 Les Paul on stage again.
