Chris, That episode of Chappelle Show with Mayer is CLASSIC! Mayer played the quiet sideman in the skit to the hilt.
BTW, I really, really like "Shadow Days" and "Queen of California" a real lot.
For some reason there is a part of me that is holding me back from "liking" his personality, but I would really like to meet him in person and finally find out. This world can be really hard, and people in it can be cruel beyond belief--especially in the "music biz" so maybe what I'm picking up is John putting up boundaries to protect his soul and Spirit.
Here are a couple of videos;
"Shadow Days" is speaking to my Soul and Spirit in a big way right now.
PS--I'm not familiar with John's forays in the World of Women, so if someone could mention the members of the Fairer Sex who have cozied up with John so I can giv'm a call and offer some grief counseling and a "nice" alternative for them-lol!!!
