YouTube - John Mayer at Crossroads Guitar Festival

You know I use to hate Wonderland because I saw it as a hattrick of aweful:

1. I thought it was a Dave Matthews rip, vocally anyway. And of course a pop-cash in on the Adult Contemporary Acousitc revolution.

2. Because he was talking about High School when he'd finished (dropped out) of college long ago.

3. It promoted Bro-dom.

But over time I had to appreciate that it was at the very least a well written song. And what I loathed about John Mayer wasn't his fault, that the Howie Day's of the world were more of a violation of the first three than Mayer was, and I understood that you have to break in before you can do your own thing a lot of the time. Daughters was a let down, but his most recent work, which is entirely not my thing, was much much better and I think the flack he once caught was more a hatred of the movement at the time, and less a hatred of him. he's a decent artist, albeit not my cup of tea, and should be respected as such.

Personally, I think John Mayer and Eric Clapton are great musicians. To survive on their music talent (v.s. drama like, let's say, Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse) says a lot.

How dare you compare Amy Winehouse to Britney Spears?
Drama?
If your referring to her drug problem and the fact that she's an arse...fair comment, but don't use that old smackhead Clapton as a contrast.
Winehouse oozes talent...when she's sober and clean.

i saw it as a huge jack johnson rip off,.....

however, if you just look at it lyrically, its a wonderful song,........but sometimes i find myself letting my own jadedness pass judgement on something it has nothing to do with

Bit unfair to call him a Jack Johnson rip off seeing as John Mayer debuted before he did. Anyway I just think John Mayer is dull, I mean he's a good guitar player but I just find his songwriting so boring. He's still leagues ahead of his second rate knock off with a political twist Johnathan Rice though.

i dont find him compareative to jack johnson anymore,...but when i first heard him (i think it was the room for squares album) thats the vibe i inittally got,....

and are you sure john mayer hit before jack johnson? because i remember listenin to him years before i knew who john mayer was,.......

John Mayer was already on his second album by the time Jack Johnson was debuting.

i just looked,....

six months,...there was about six months between their first two albums,.....


oh yea crowey,....
