Well that was weird, Dave Letterman said "Man that John Mayer is Fantastic" and the closed caption said "Man that John Mayer is pathetic."

Hmm...

THANK YOU!

About a year ago, when the infomercial for Mayer's album was playing on late night tv, I said to my SO of the time "I liked him better when he was called Dave Matthews."  I've since used that line numerous times, always to people who say "I don't see it."

Finally, vindication.

I will confess that I enjoy John Mayer, albeit not in a particularly intellectual sort of way. "No Such Thing" is a fine single; Room For Squares is an uneven album, and nothing else on it is quite as good as "No Such Thing," but what the hey, I enjoy it.

I don't think of him as particularly Dave Matthews-esque, but whatever floats your boats.

I'd never heard of him before Chapelle's Show and I was quite un-impressed.

Is this the guy who has that song called like Your Body is a Playground or something? A friend of mine has this CD, if I'm remembering right, and I remember reading the track listing off the back of the case and thinking it was really cheesy make-out R&B.

"Your Body is a Wonderland," yeah. And it is faintly cheesy make-out rock, but in a way I find slightly endearing -- the whole "guy who knows just how good he's got it and is grateful if slightly confused" genre.

(Of course, a friend of mine is convinced "Your Body Is a Wonderland" is a stalker song. I don't entirely know why.)

John Mayer's been spending a lot of time lately bringing Buddy Guy along with him for public performances.  If that means a few extra copies of Hoodoo Man Blues or Sweet Tea are purchased for those late-night sessions around a gravity bong full of Red Zinger, Mayer is forgiven.

It's easy for me to forgive him because he has no impact on my musical life whatsoevah.  If he were inescapable, like, I don't know, whoever's inescapable these days - Evanescence? - then he'd need to bring R.L. Burnside along too.

Did Evanescence have more than one song? You must be thinking of Linkin Park.

It terrifies me that real people care significantly about the "musical career" of Clay Aiken.

Evanescence I would like more were they not so obsessively overplayed, yeah. And were the entire world not convinced they were "metal" or "hard rock" when they appear to actually be "typical female-vocalist whinepop, except with guitars."

what about "Five for Fighting" -a one man band that also sounds just like Dave Mathews too.  Also: Hi all, I miss you.
