John Mayer
So I have this friend who raves about John Mayer. He frequents his blog. He just went to his latest South Florida concert. He thinks the guy's the latest incarnation of Robert Johnson. He longs to hear Mayer tell him that his body is, indeed, a wonderland.
I dispute this of course. But my argument against the credibility of John Mayer has never been his musical acheivements, or anything really. My argument has to do with his audience.
It's all 15-year-old girls.
Case in point: check out this video. It's from a recent concert (Oklahoma City on February 3rd of this year). In it you'll see sweet John make every pre-pubescent girl's dream come true, and in the process, get deafened by the cacophony of screams from said young women.

i watched the video twice and i have no idea what was happening...am i that out of touch with Jr high girl culture? hopefully so
hang on a second, freakin' hypocrite, you introduced me to John Mayer via a ringtone on your cellphone
Full disclosure: I own all three of Mayer's albums and enjoy listening to them. I just don't think he deserves to be listed among the who's who in important music right now.
Hahahaha! I love that picture! Oh, and .... you had a John Mayer ringtone on your phone?!!! Boo!
