I can't find anything in my head or on the internet that I want to blog about today, thus I'll just say this...
Fearing redundancy... Have I mentioned lately that I think the new John Mayer record is unbelievable? After listening to it now for about three weeks, I am pretty convinced that he is a genius. To musically and poetically write the things that he does puts him in the category of "once in a lifetime" kind of artist.
Most artists don't get better and better on each subsequent album, and usually the third one is a dud for sure. Not the case with John. He is a true artist's artist and anyone who thinks that he is still just a "Your Body is a Wonderland" teen king is very mistaken. He displays a staggering artistic maturity and I often find myself asking, "What planet is this guy from?" He is certainly a freak of nature.
I have heard some people say that in person he is pretty arrogant. Though probably just rumor, it's hard for someone like him to be humble when you are that talented and you know it. Just buy the record and I'll shut up about it.
