VH1 Storytellers: John Mayer


"...Fairfield, CT not really the most conducive place for being a songwriter, artist, guitar player, you know? not much comes from why not? who says I can't? Fame didn't really satisfied that, success didn't really satisfied that. In some ways it just sends me back further in feeling misunderstood, you know?"

Freshman year of college I had to sleep across from my roommate's poster of him. I still remember being creeped out by that poster of he's dull eyes staring at me in the dark. He's music later grew on me as my "hood" ignorance dissolved.

between a roc and a hard place



Wale at Toad's Place, New Haven CT



 
Audience gave him sneakers and breasts to sign during the show.
You have to respect him for loving he's fans enough to sign bootleg, dirty sneakers...
They also gave him a Yale hoodie, CT chillin' all we got here is UCONN &Yale.
I was upset he skipped Cole's part on "Beautiful Bliss"
The show was pretty good. I like Wale, the artist and person.

"Women to be in the music business give up more than you'd ever know. She's got kids she gave up. Any woman gives up home life, an old man, probably, because you're so crazy on planes and runnin' and you never find 'em again. You give up, you give up a home and friends, you give up children and friends, you give up an old man and friends, you give up any constant in the world except music. That's the only thing you've got man, after you boil it down, the only thing you got left in the world is that music, man. And, so for a woman to sing, she really needs to, or wants to. A man can do it as a gig, 'cause he knows he can get laid tonight."-Janis Joplin
