John Mayer just released a live album on July 1 featuring selections from his performance at The Nokia Theatre in L.A. Admit it, the first time you heard "Your Body Is A Wonderland," you thought it was a catchy make out song from the "guy who sure sounds a lot like Dave Matthews." Then, the onslaught of 15 year-old girls caught on to his talent and liking him turned into an embarrassing chore. OK, maybe it was just me. Since then, I have come to appreciate Mayer and the other oddities and talents that surround him. Case in point:
1. He dressed like Borat on his cruise boat. He also is not foreign to the comedy stand-up scene...seriously.
2. He looks like
Edward Scissorhands/Johnny Depp a bit.
3. The guy really does know blues and Chappelle wasn't afraid to call him out on it.
5. A cover of Tom Petty's All-American, California-skateboarding, Jerry McGuire-yelling, pop song. Mayer's 22-track live album, Where The Light Is: John Mayer Live In Los Angeles, is available now off of Sony. With both in attendance, fans at the Mile High Music Festival in Denver this weekend may be lucky enough to see Petty and Mayer perform this together.
Howdy! Thanks for visiting this soapbox of mine, produced from the fresh air of the Boulder valley in Colorado. If you have some general comments or maybe want to stand on your own soapbox, feel free to email at bodie_johnson at yahoo.com or leave a comment.
Let's keep the goal in mind here too. I work in the music industry while living in an amazing town offering me an abundance of recreational opportunities. I aim to introduce people to music and artists in hopes that they attend shows, purchase albums and spread the gospel...thus improving my profession and the industry as a whole. If you are an artist, a manager, and/or a label and prefer I remove a song posted here, simply let me know and I'll remove your art.
