Please explain John Mayer

[Anonymous]

Meh. Him and DMB could go away and would not be missed. No huge contribution to music there.

He looks like he is retarded.

And he's really bad at it. Pretty much defines "douche."


The thing with comparing Mayer & DMB is that Dave is pretty discreet with his sex life. I am sure he has slept with a a cast member from Friends at some point, too. Mayer gets a handy and posts it on his Twitter feed.

This is a guy who wrote, Your Body is a Wonderland. *gag* He comes across as a self concious douche bag. He may have musical talents - I don't care for his music but he sells records - but he seems like an overgrown frat boy who is trying to be artsy and sensitive so he can get in girls' pants. Yuck.

Funny! I think this may be due to age. DM is O.L.D. Like almost in viagra territory, if he isn't too high to get an erection.

I just Wiki'd DM and he is 46. Is that really Viagra territory?

Please name one "awesome" song. I can't think of anything he hasn't done that isn't annoyingly mainstream and derivative.

That's unfair PP, music is a very personal thing - its a form of art. Perhaps you're too intelligent to understand and appreciate his music...yeah, I think that's it.

Okay.

"Daughters". Bam. Awesome song.

Nope. Can't stand that schmoopy sentimentality. It's so fake and surface. Give me REM, Bon Iver, Regina Spektor, Jeff Buckley, Feist, etc etc etc any day. I challenge you to listen to their music and read their lyrics and tell me that doesn't move you at a deeper level than dreck like John Mayer. If not, well, I can't help you.

I agree with your point, but Bon Iver makes Andrew Bird look like Jimi Hendrix. Talk about zzzzz.

Once upon a time, one of our finest managed to get 10 whole minutes out of him:

This feature has yet to actually repel women. And I think that's the real question: why are so many women attracted to total douchebags?

Because many of us want to see if we can "get" a standoffish guy who negs us

Because many women have really low self esteem and are unconsciously attracted to me that treat us like sh!t.

Yeah, because you listen to Einstüzende Neubaten and New York Dolls on an endless reel to reel tape in your trendy, stupid get over yourself head.

Actually, I don't listen to either of those bands. I just think Mayer is overrated. If you like him, great. No need to be such a nasty bitch about a difference of opinion/taste. I'm just stating mine. You're stating yours. Now move on and take a Xanax already.

I'm perfectly willing to admit that Bon Iver is not for everyone. I saw them on Austin City Limits and they were amazing, though. As a dork former English major, I have a lot of interest in the lyrics.

"Your body is a wonder land". Greatest song ever.

I listen to all these artists and their music moves me just about the same as John Mayer. If he wasn't dumping women left and right, many of you would think his music his great. But you are biased now because he's a cad

I bet his dick is HUGE.
