Frankly, if you can't see the power in Mayer's songwriting, you are on some other musical planet from me. Stay there.
just saying that there are people trying. 13-year-old-girls don't know joe bonamassa or derek trucks. why? is JM trying harder? no. they just watch JM do it because he's so cute with those funny guitar faces. my guess is that most people who discover blues through JM would most likely have found it from another source.
that said, I'll repeat that i'm on the same planet in this discussion.
