Mike Ness, from the punk band "Social Distortion" does a driving electric version of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice," on his new album "Cheating At Solitaire." But in a special live performance on MTV's "120 Minutes" he did a solo acoustic version. I wish the 120 Minutes version would come out on an album. It ruled! Mike Ness is also a confirmed Hank Williams junkie.

Also Jeff Lynne (my favorite person in music),former leader of The Electric Light Orchestra, did a short but beautiful little song called "Save Me Now." It's a musical portrait of the earth, and how he feels about global warming and deforestation (in was done in 1990, after all!) from Jeff's album "Armchair Theater." Jeff's close work with Bob Dylan in The Traveling Wilburys highly influenced the song.
