Well what kind of response do you consider to be appropriate for bland, middle-of-the-road, Baywatch-soundtrack rock music? I'd say dismissal is about right.

The only reason we're discussing John Mayer here is because of some idiotic things he said.

However, if you wanted to get back on track, It might be interesting, from a Mudcat perspective, to ponder how the mainstream notion of "blues" seems to have degenerated into "anyone who uses the word" or "anyone that has ever bent a string on a Fender strat" or "anyone who's ever jammed with BB King"
