A Drifter Among Us

On Saturday, the 20th day of March, in the year of our lord 2010, James Rennie will be going to see John Mayer play rhythm and blues from pit sits at the Savis Center.

However, this is not the first time James has had the opportunity to see Mayer. Case and point, summer 2008. Two tickets were made promptly available for James to use and because of his passion for the Cardinals he missed one of the biggest gatherings of swooning St. Louis females thine eyes have ever gazed upon. The tickets were wasted and an angel died because of it.

When opportunity arose again James stood resiliently and proclaimed:

"We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!"- he didn't really say that, I just happened to watch Independence Day awhile back and love that speech....I digress.

It should be a good time. He is my brother.

Let me just take a quick moment to discuss a subject more near and dear to my heart. For countless people across this country there has been a huge problem lately with the quality of snack items at the local grocery and convenience store. I'm gonna be blunt and ask for chips and Butterfingers that don't stick to my teeth.

I have been asked to do an analysis of Continuum vs. Battle Studies. I have nothing really to say other than Continuum was better, hell, even John said it was better. I think the reason that Battle Studies wasn't as good was because he didn't commit one way or the other. What I mean is that his first two albumns could be considered pop, then with the Trio/Continuum/Live In L.A. CD's we see him switch to blues. With his newest cd he doesn't seem to know what direction to go and it leaves you wanting more of either the pop or the blues depending on your mood or taste preferences.

My brother must be pretty trusting of me, gave me his password to type a bunch of stuff on here. I could have put all sorts of wicked stuff, but I wont. I respect the man.

What I like about Mayer:

He is loved by the media, even when he screws up
He has an anxiety/personality disorder like me
He actually can play more than power chords
He openly points out hippocrates
He controls every interview I've seen him in from the second the tape starts rolling
He respects his elders- See Crossroads dvd
He has an education
He isn't the trendy concert to go to like Dave Matthews Band

What I dont like:


He played guitar for fall out boy on that beat it cover

I have yet to see this Mayer/Clapton compilation album that has been talked about
