Can't Turn Me Loose doesn't come up under any Youtube searches that maybe Jon has done it at benefit shows or anything, but its an Otis Redding cover (This was in The Blues Brothers movie {the FAR SUPERIOR Original one with Dan Akroyd & John Belushi not the CRAPTASTIC BB2000 with Jim Belushi}).
On a somewhat related note, the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas has a piece of the fuselage of the plane Otis Redding died in:
I just stood there for a minute and was like this is how you represent Otis?
I thought it was quite distasteful.
Of course today its not so bad after listening to Jay-Z & Kanye's opus to Otis, titled Otis (the only good thing I can say about that song is it will introduce a whole other generation to Otis Redding and it would have been a better song if Jay-Z and Kanye had not been on the track, IMHO).
