John Mayer Had a TV Show
While John Mayer's sensitive-dude Abercrombie-jamz have never been my cup o' tea*, he has done a handful of things that your pal Jeff finds impressive. There is, of course, the legendary trail of famous ladies he's managed to trick into dating him, there is his willingness to treat the paparazzi with the seriousness they deserve and there is his ability to be a more entertaining blogger than I am (surprisingly not difficult).
When I saw his latest live album pop up in this week's new releases, though, I was reminded of what is easily the greatest thing he's ever done: the short-lived (and by short-lived, I mean one episode) VH1 program, John Mayer Has a TV Show.
It's more or less 20 minutes of John Mayer poking fun at himself, which in itself would be endearing enough to forgive him for "Your Body is a Wonderland," but he also has the nards to bite the hand that feeds, mocking his own fans and crew for our LOLs. There is also an interview with Trick Daddy.
On the show, he's charming and genuinely funny. While that would normally make me loathe him out of jealousy, I'm able to get past that enough to wish for more than just the one episode of this hilarious lost show:
-- Jeff Reguilon
* Okay, I admit that the melody to "Waiting On the World to Change" is pretty nice in that it sounds like something Dan Penn would have written back in the day. Also there was one time when I had consumed enough malt liquor to paralyze an elephant and was moments away from passing out on a friend's couch while an older John Mayer live album played, at which point a moment came when I felt like I could maybe understand the appeal. That's it, though. Honest.
