Thread Name: 'Bluesman' John Mayer - racism?
Subject: RE: 'Bluesman' Mayer is a racist prick
Thanks, Bruce...I'll take your advice and leave them to themselves.

I fully appreciate you not liking his music, by the way...I never have had a problem with that, with anyone's music or other liking/disliking it. 'One man's meat...' etc..

What I've always had a problem with is folks who use messageboards to put the boot in to others, be they musicians or anyone else.

Sadly, the internet has way too many of them.

I've also said that he made a big mistake, but I also think it's one he'll learn from and that it will change his way of behaving, which can only be for the better.

Just for the record, my daughter, who knows more about John Mayer than probably everyone in here, told me that John never wanted to sing, as he was far too shy. He simply wanted to play his guitar, but the record company insisted that if he wanted his music out there, that had to be part of the deal. I happen to like his voice, it's very distinctive...


Sometimes, very shy people behave oddly to others, in order to be able to cope...They don't always recognise their behaviour as odd though.

That's all.


OK, I'm outta here.
