Both are excellent, David.   

However, when John Mayer plays the blues, he sure does play them good.

By the way, he doesn't describe himself as a blues player on his myspace page, so I'm not sure why he's getting bad press for that in here..


Oh, and if anyone notices, 4 out of the 6 people in his band are African American.

Some 'racist' huh?

Again, watch his apology, see the black women in his band crying, and here him telling people that his band are in no way on that stage because they supported what he said, no way...but that they said they're there to support him as a human being, because they see something in him which he does not...and that's the part he's going to try and unlock and concentrate on from now on.

One of the most humble apologies I've ever seen...and I only found that after I'd written all of that above. So you see, he did go on to punish himself, as I knew he would. I just hope that he doesn't give up talking out loud, because John Mayer so often has some deeply interesting things to say...but I think he finds interviews terribly stressful.

Change is on the horizon, that's for sure.
