I can't figure out John Mayer's success. He's on the cover of TIME magazine, appears onstage with The Police, is routinely shadowed by paparazzi -- and for what? Making music for the Applebee's crowd?
Mayer appeared at last weekend's Live Earth festival and, as he wrote on his blog, the former Atlantan was geared for a revolution:
With this kind of lineup, there's no cause or crisis that wouldn't be positively affected by an event of this scope. Live Earth isn't a show - it's a showing, a presentation of an idea. Artists like us don't just get together to each play 20 minute sets every weekend, you know. We're also usually pretty sensitive about the order in which we take the stage, and I've got no problems with my 5:12 PM set time. The Police, Bon Jovi, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, and yes, myself and my dumb face are all openers for the true headliner - the power to literally change the world's mind. The star of the night is an idea, and all eyes will be on it.
And a soft-rock crooner shall lead them.
Be nice, Mal!;) Mayer is HOT! Best singer since Dan Fogelberg.
