Unglued

Unglued is a Magic: The Gathering expansion set, the first silver-bordered, Magic: The Gathering expansion set released. It came out in August 1998. Its symbol is a cracked egg. Among the themes of the set were chicken, dice rolling and multiplayer Magic games. Although initially created as non-tournament legal, the "Unglued" set as a whole is not directly banned in the current tournament rules as of 2014. The lack of the "Unhatached" set exclusion in the current Tournament rules makes this set still playable and valid in one class of the MTG tournaments. The class that by default allows the play of "Unhatched" is "Vintage Tournament" which consist of all years and all formats of deck construction.

Unglued (song)

"Unglued" is a 1994 promo single from Stone Temple Pilots' second album Purple. It was performed live on the Late Show with David Letterman in December 1994. STP had appeared on Letterman twice before, to perform their songs " Wicked Garden" and " Vasoline", and would appear four more times. The song, like "Vasoline", is known for its highly distorted guitar intro and prominent bass. "Unglued" was only a minor hit for the band, but can still be heard on radio stations in the United States and remains a staple in their live shows. This was the last song Scott Weiland ever performed live in his lifetime, being the last song performed in his last ever concert on the 1st December, 2015 at the Adelaide Music Hall in Toronto.
