John Mayer

I went to see Dead & Company this weekend at Citi Field, NYC.  IT was a great show, and it was a friendly reminder to how amazing John Mayer is.  He is one of those artists that I feel like I am always defending, or trying to sell others on him... I feel like he gets a bad rep due to his career as a teenage pop star, but he is quite the rock star, and I have known that for years... I have seen him live many of times, as well as spent countless hours on YouTube seeing what kind of live performances I can dig up.  He is super talented.. I would say he ranks high on the metaphoric list of top guitarists, he can hang with the best of them. 

After Mr. Mayer put out Continuum, it seems like he kind of went for the type of music he is passionate about.  Don't think "Your Body is a Wonderland", when you think of John Mayer...... He is so much more than that.  I have gotten a few friends to go see him live with me, that includes my husband, and other normal male beings :) --They were all so pleasantly surprised.  He deserves the respect and recognition for the talented artist he is.  He played the shit out of some Grateful Dead.  I totally got lost in the jams - had those mid song moments where your brought back to some lyrics, and you're like, "Oh right! that's what song this is."  Amazing.   It was a beautiful night, we saw the sun set over Citi field, there was a hint of a chill in the air that may have smelled mostly of herbs ;), and I was with my wild and free girl friend, taking it all in...

I, personally, think that the way he plays guitar, brings out how attractive he is.  I never was very attracted to him prior to knowing his guitar skills, but then once I saw him strummin'....Wow! :)  I am like that though... Musicians make me a little weak in the knees...Why is that? Is it the passion? Passion can be so beautiful...
