I want an 87 hour long version of this interview.

When I was in high school, I was obsessed with John Mayer’s music. I listened to Vultures at least 500 times. I had a friend who was equally obsessed. We convinced our parents to let us go a few hours drive away to see him play on his battle studies tour. It was my first concert and we were so excited to see him that we got to the venue around 3 or 4pm, before they had even set up the ropes for the line. We entered when they opened the doors and trudged up probably 10 flights of stairs to our seats at the absolute top of the venue. When we got to the top, we were just excited to see that they had bathrooms and snacks upstairs and we wouldn’t have to go all the way down and back up to pee. While we were wandering around up there, two women came up to us and asked us about our favorite John Mayer songs and talked about his music a little bit. Then they asked to see our tickets and like complete idiots we handed them over. The woman said “oh these are terrible seats” to which I started to say something in offense. But then she started RIPPING up the tickets. My friend and I literally screamed and the woman nonchalantly said “oh no you don’t want these seats because I have front row tickets for you…” she handed us front row tickets and walked away while we processed what had just happened and starting screaming with excitement. We rushed downstairs and found our seats in the front row. We made friends with one of the security guards by sharing our gum and he got us on stage to dance with the opening act, Michael Franti and Spearhead. Then John Mayer played my favorite song from the new album right in front of us and I could have just died of happiness. No other concert experience is ever going to top that for me. I think the woman must have been someone from Mayer’s team, trying to spread some joy to the most devoted fans or at least pack the front with the most enthusiastic concertgoers. Whatever the reason, I’m still grateful and love his music now as much as I did then, albeit with less screaming on my part.

Finally John doesn't look 25 anymore, he looks like he's approaching 30 now...

I love that John is so selfaware of his younger version back when he was more of a tool, so now he can casually do "young John" things as a joke

If you are responsible for Wild Blue, you are absolutely allowed to get off on it.  A complete masterpiece of a song.

These guys have the same conversational energy but I can’t describe it?

Tbh bittersweet symphony is one of the best songs ever written hands down

I find John Mayer, the personality, fascinating. I didn’t really listen to his music until well into his career. I’d say “New Light” forward, he musically got my attention. “Guess I Just Feel Like” is amazing… John Mayer the storyteller and John Mayer the personality are perfectly balanced. Until the outro solo, I think there are many singers that could pull the song off because it’s so good of a story. The outro is Mayer….nobody else could touch it.

I’m pausing at around at 5:28…to reflect a bit.  I don’t think it’s possible to like John Mayer and be just a casual listener!  I actually view the world differently every time I listen to him.  For me, some of the pieces start to connect, and the NOW becomes more present.  I remember to feel, joy and pain and use my senses to capture the moment.   It’s taken me years to discover and appreciate John’s music and style, but it’s refreshing, especially trying to get to know him just as he is.

The way he talks about wild blue is exactly how I feel about it

Agree with him on Wild Blue…. That song is amazing and he does deserve to be proud of it…

He is a smooth cat for sure. I can put Wild Blue on repeat that song screams driving on a pretty day after all my bills are paid.

The way John explains wild blue,is the way how listening every queen song feels like.

I’m glad John also recognizes the masterpiece that is What a Fool Believes.

I played Wild Blue quietly on my Google Assistant while working in the kitchen the other morning. My very quiet 12-year-old said from the other room 'What song is that, I like that one!', so we played it again....it's soo good! 😄

I love the fact that he's not worrying about what people think he's just being his unfiltered self. He seems more self-aware than at any other time in his career.

he got me at diff'rent strokes.. love that show

inst he just gorgeous

I’m Obsessed with Wild blue I don’t blame him

Now I really want to hear him do a cover of Wildest Dreams
