Here's something funny about John Mayer. Well, there are lots of hilarious things about John Mayer, but the one that stands out the most to me, is that he's a singer, with longings to be a comedian. That's as heart-wrenchingly laughable in this day-and-age as a comedian with dreams of having his own batch of unbeatable albums.
Oops, did I say unbeatable? I wasn't supposed to reveal that yet, God warned me. Take Jeff Probst, you know, Survivor guy? I could've SWORN I heard him admit that his original hopes were to be a rock star, cooler than John Mayer could ever be. Instead, he's an announcer...and friend.
Not MY friend, don't even watch his show. But, I listen, and I'm moved deeply when I hear all the potential wasted, actual talent with passion behind it...not allowable on the current playing field, as is.
It's like Earl Pomerantz being the father of a fashion designing daughter, and the Jonas brothers never mentioning what an important influence she is on their lives. Simply strange to the common viewer, plus, weird!!!
What do I know anyway, just want to get entirely in the way, or stay the hell out of it. I'm Buddhist like that.
