John Mayer

Not infrequently, I’ll say it’s impossible to not like an artist I’ve chosen for a show pick that particular week, and usually I’m pretty right on with those assertions. This time is a little different, though. John Mayer is admittedly very easily unlikable. I’d even go so far as to say he’s very easily dislikable … as a person, though. Not as a musician. No matter how much of a d-bag he comes off as in interviews and via his Twitter, moms and girlfriends still inexplicably love him. Apparently none of them have Internet connections, but that’s a different story. Point being, you’ll earn some major points for scoring tickets to this show and, at the very least, the dude is really, really good on his guitar, despite the personality behind the hands. - Brien Overly
