Wait why would he be bitter? Except that he has a baby penis. My escort friend wouldn't lie. She said he was really shy about it but eventually opened up to her about it. Kind of makes sense, women in Mexico are already used to men with small penises. And women in Mexico are also used to broken white men going to Mexico for some non judgemental TCL * see Born on the 4th of July Would explain his girly laugh and singing range too. Hey don't kill the messenger, I've always liked him. I think Poundcake is my favorite VH song next to Janie's Crying

I need to hear John Mayer's isolated guitar part on the outro! He's doing some great things but they're lost in the mix. This goes well with JM's "Panama" performance from years back. He's not an Eddie Van Halen player, but it's fun to hear him try other styles that he loves. Has he ever played a Metallica cover?

I've been a John Mayer fan since I first heard Your Body is A Wonderland, but I didn't know how good a guitar player he was till I stumbled upon his jazzy and blues stuff in the library one day! It was then that my mind was blown and said, "this dude can really play"! Most people haven't been exposed to anything but his pop stuff and because it's really catchy music, they don't pay attention to what he's really doing on the guitar! It's easy to just get lost in the catchy melodies!
