2. Because he was talking about High School when he'd finished (dropped out) of college long ago.

3. It promoted Bro-dom.

But over time I had to appreciate that it was at the very least a well written song. And what I loathed about John Mayer wasn't his fault, that the Howie Day's of the world were more of a violation of the first three than Mayer was, and I understood that you have to break in before you can do your own thing a lot of the time. Daughters was a let down, but his most recent work, which is entirely not my thing, was much much better and I think the flack he once caught was more a hatred of the movement at the time, and less a hatred of him. he's a decent artist, albeit not my cup of tea, and should be respected as such.
