such a great inverview, the laughing thing he talks about is the key for long term goals for me. Love you John, thanks Glo for this. Cheers!

Two awesome tidbits - the messy kitchen analogy and the laughing. That happens to me, when I see/hear something so great, that it's "ridiculously great"... weirdly, in that sense it's funny. At the greatest points of a great song (this is nebulous, yeah), I often chuckle. Other excellent points in here... remarkable maturity in a young guy. Substantial vid.

Creativity comes from the spiritual realm. Depending on what source you get it from.

So the bottom line is: Don't eat dinner

Really dig Mayer, however “Sob Rock” did nothing for me. A flat and lifeless album.

[@jessesteelman1238]

I still think it’s hilarious that he just admitted that whole album was the musical equivalent of a shit post

[@travisthornton1792]

Once you realize it’s comedy, you might appreciate its musicality a bit more
