My John story

So I first time I heard him was on the radio, it was “No such thing” and I like everyone else jammed out to it on the radio.  I never bought the CD since I was saving for my wedding at the time but remember someone telling how amazing this kid was and it was a great CD.  At some point my little sister showed me how to use Limewire and I made a mix CD with “Man on the side”, “Why Georgia”, “No such thing”, and “Wonderland”.  I listened to this CD a lot but forgot who sang my two favorite songs on the CD, “Man on the side” and “Why Georgia”.  Then I remember seeing him sing “Daughters” on the Today Show and of course loved that song too but there wasn’t that real connection yet.  Until I just happened to come across a concert on Directv.  I was folding laundry and just looking for something to watch and landed on this performance of his.  Still not sure when and where the show was but this is where it started for me.  I loved his songs but it was watching him perform that really drew me in.  He sings and plays with this sense of abandonment, where he loses himself in the music.  I reminds me of watching Joe Cocker on Solid Gold when I was a kid.  It was in seeing this that a slight obsession grew.  After the performance there was a short interview done and I remember him saying that he picks someone in the audience and grooves with them as he plays as if he’s playing for them.  From that point on I wanted to be that person in the front of a show that he locked onto.  I’ve gone to 3 shows, never great seats but have loved each one and had some very strange occurrences that have happened that have made me say that I have “John Gods”.  Someone looking over me to make sure good things happen when it comes to him.  Like the tickets I lost at the Boston Garden show, and just happened to be standing in front of a mom and her daughter that were giving their tickets away, not great seats but still it could have been worse and I could have missed the show!  Silly I know.  For the past couple of years I have listen to mostly and almost only him.  Even when I run.  I don’t know why I’ve gotten this obsessed.  I’ve never been like this before.  No NKOTB posters on my wall as a teen, all my crushes were boys I went to school with.  And it’s not so much as a “sexual” thing either because really if I had the chance, I would just like to chat over a few drinks.  Corny, I know.  But still this is the one thing I have amongst all the craziness in my life that I can turn to to take me away for a moment or two.  There are times that his music gets me through a tough day of screaming, defiant kids and I thank him for that!  Happy John Mayer Appreciation Day, Thank you John, you are amazing!

John Mayer: Too cute for his own good?

Oak Park’s own Don Was , finishing up producing chores on the new John Mayer album at Electric Ladyland in New York, said of the guitarist: “His songwriting is up to a whole ‘nother place on this. If he wasn’t so handsome, he’d probably get a lot more respect.” Was returns to Detroit in mid-July for his annual stint at the Concert of Colors.

 LOVE IT!
