Plastic Jesus

Does anyone know if Matt has ever done a cover of Plastic Jesus? If not, this is a formal request for one, I think he would dominate it.

Not that I’ve ever seen… seems like Jack Johnson has done it, though (sorry, you probably knew that- I just did a YouTube search for it. I actually know very little about Jack’s music, so…).

I think a “what song should Matt cover?” is a good question, though.

Personally, I’d vote for Blues Run the Game.

Thank you, Clownfish! It’s one of my favorite songs ever.  Hearing it in the underground must have been lovely- the acoustics in there are sometimes really neat, as I recall.

I only just saw the Counting Crows version when I looked the song up on YouTube- I had no idea they’d covered it! I do really think it’s kind of a Matt song, too. And not just ‘cause of the whiskey.  ;-)
