I just had to get this off my chest before I could reasonably talk about music.

Pop: I've been into a lot of music in the past, near the end of high school I was very into comparing every, EVERY different style there was, then I narrowed myself into the acoustic/traditional form because of its familiarity. I also did it because I just HAD to learn Andy McKee's Drifting (and did). Then, getting bored with that, I was wandering around the net, and skipped across pop and haven't left. John Mayer appealed to my guitar playing.

John Mayer: I discovered that this guy wrote most of the songs that I couldn't get out of my head during the work day: In Repair, No Such Thing, Another Kind of Green, Your Body is a Wonderland... such an adaptable guitarist was so enthralling that I've recognized hardly any new artists since I've become a fan of his... damn it all. So here I am, a hopeless fan.

Sure, I've learned some of his better songs, and I'm inspired by his self-discipline and love of music, but he is really NOT the only musician to have this, just the most obvious.

Some weird things about it were that I was that the guy looks like he could be in my family, at different times he hits tones and a sound that comes from the back of my head to go "you knew each other" sounding like a current friend of mine, a wide range of facial expressions that at different times look like himself, my uncle John (who doesn't have one), and me... me? yeah, me.

Being so popular with so many people (yeah, so they were mostly women, what of it?), there is something to be said of one person bringing so many people together, in many ways for his sake, for so long.

This man keeps putting the idea in my head that he is /or was... a great spirit.

Any ideas?

Love him, hate him?

I admire his music but not his girly hair and the damned orgasmic faces he has while soloing...
