John 'Meh'-er random thoughts...
yes this blog is about the john mayer concert i attended last week..and 'meh' is the proper way to describe the concert.
I was excited to go, thinking that he would be the kind of performer to give a lot of audience interaction and insight into the writing and emotions behind his music. well, dude just phoned it in on thursday night. I think the longest sentence i heard him say was 'this song has been very good to me, and i hope i've been good to it', when intro-ing 'your body is a wonderland'.
(which my sister and i have redubbed 'your-body-is-disneyland-and-i-just-wanna-ride-the-teacups...)
don't get me wrong, the concert was good musically. sonically. visually. but there wasnt any connection with the audience. a few girls at work who have seen him before said that he talked A LOT more when they when to his concerts previously and they werent impressed either (so its not just me...). one girl went as far to say that jessica simpson ruined him. i wouldnt go that far, but...
did you see the sketch on snl??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnlTMQMIlIk watch it! hilarious!
so would i pay to see him again? probably not. maybe $20 at a small club somewhere, but if he comes through again i wont subject rob to another concert. although he did keep himself amused by txting my sister all night...
And mr. mayer didnt even sing DAUGHTERS! or bigger than my body! or come back to bed....yeah, not a bad experience. just didnt leave a lasting impression....i rather would've seen lenny...
dang! why didnt i pony up the cash for that concert???????
todays thought...
"The city of Slaughter, Texas (population: 11,284), has never had a homicide occur within its boundaries."
interesting....
