Jack Johnson :crazy: I see you've retracted what you said before.
I have to say, I too have a greater affection for Mayer after the live versions. I love "I Don't Trust Myself" (real title??), and "Why Georgia".
John Mayers' music is far more introspective and deep. He's definitely not writing about Curious George... Wonderland I guess sounds similar if you aren't really listening. Mayer is also more accomplished, and I don't think they're really in competition together??
Also, I think that "No Such Thing" was intended to be reflective, and kind of a "message to youth" (wow, that sounded lame). It's like you want to just tell these kids to open their eyes! I actually emailed the lyrics to my step-bro to remind him or something...
