John Mayer - In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra cover with Chris Botti on the Late Show with David Letterman. Although it’s not a Christmas song directly, I think it fits well into the holiday season.

John Mayer - “Hope Is Not A Buzz Word”

I said I wasn’t going to try to influence people about the election, but I felt that this was too good to not post.  My favorite musician puts into words what an entire generation of people have been trying to say.  John Mayer writes:

I was 23 years old when the nation was attacked on September 11, 2001. I can remember hearing pundits say “this changes everything” and “things will never be the same.” Obviously it was a tragic and traumatic event, but that sentiment has carried on through the better part of my twenties.

Go Tell Your Friends What Johnny Did

I will spare you the slobbering, but last night’s concert was yet again incredible.  JM rarely blogs about specific shows, but he did so immediately after this one:

“1 hour, 12 minutes post-show.

Chicago…

This has become more than just ticket sales and career advancement.

In fact, this has nothing to do with it.

These shows have transcended.

This is about making 20,000 people feel okay in the world.

Not alone.

Full.

Hopeful.

JOYFUL.

To the magazines, blogs, entertainment shows, et al…

I say to you with my chest out and a big part of Chicago to stand behind me and back me up:

You may have my image, but you cannot take my sound.

Thank you Chicago.”

Awesome.

John Mayer - Gravity

In honor of the John Mayer concert tonight, I give you what is probably my favorite JM song.  I was fortunate enough to see this particular performance at last year’s Crossroads Guitar Festival.  If tonight’s performance is one tenth as good as the festival was, I will be pleased.
