John Doe will perform, minus X, at Adams Avenue Unplugged: 'People love to see their singers screw up!'

The veteran singer-songwriter will be performing without X, the pioneering Los Angeles punk-rock group he co-founded in 1977. He'll also be without the two-man rhythm section that will accompany him on his pending tour to promote his arresting new solo album, "Fables in a Foreign Land."
