do you think that on purpose, just to show people that no matter what he does he will always have 13 year old girls throwing money at him?
you should really listen to his newer stuff from the john mayer trio. he's insanely underestimated. daughters and your body is a wonderland are complete and utter shit compared to this new stuff. expect his fanbase to expand.
If you have a problem with John Mayer, you just haven't listened to him enough to really know... I like his work with Buddy Guy/Herbie Hancock... as well as his trio. Everything before is nothing compared to his new stuff... and seeing him live is nothing like listening to studio albums. Only problem I have is that he can sound wayyyyy too much like Stevie Ray Vaughan, but he does a hell of a good job doing it.
