Nirvana 'Unplugged': intimate and revealing

If you didn't "get" Kurt Cobain the first time around -- and don't feel alone, many over-30 rock fans didn't -- Nirvana's "Unplugged in New York" gives you a second chance. This is the first time the band's celebrated acoustic performance on MTV is available on DVD and it's a compelling introduction to the man who was embraced by much of his generation with an almost John Lennon-ish fervor.
