...Simple Kid (aka Ciaran McFeely of Cork City, Ireland) had the solo singer/acoustic guitar setup, but did a whole lot more with the format than some half-assed Dylan or Neil impersonation. Aside from using visuals to punctuate his Myspace page (predictable) and Kermit the Frog duet (unpredictable), he did a fairly neat lyrical sing-a-long with the words highlighted behind him, and more importantly had some real songs crafted. “Celebrities Go Home” is a sentiment I can always endorse. Envision a Beck without the electronic claptrap. Check him out, he's worth the time.
