      Wait why would he be bitter? Except that he has a baby penis. My escort friend wouldn't lie. She said he was really shy about it but eventually opened up to her about it.
      Kind of makes sense, women in Mexico are already used to men with small penises. And women in Mexico are also used to broken white men going to Mexico for some non judgemental TCL

      Would explain his girly laugh and singing range too.
      Hey don't kill the messenger, I've always liked him. I think Poundcake is my favorite VH song next to Janie's Crying

      This goes well with JM's "Panama" performance from years back. He's not an Eddie Van Halen player, but it's fun to hear him try other styles that he loves.

    I've been a John Mayer fan since I first heard Your Body is A Wonderland, but I didn't know how good a guitar player he was till I stumbled upon his jazzy and blues stuff in the library one day! It was then that my mind was blown and said, "this dude can really play"! Most people haven't been exposed to anything but his pop stuff and because it's really catchy music, they don't pay attention to what he's really doing on the guitar! It's easy to just get lost in the catchy melodies!

    Was at Cabo Wabo when john Mayer jumped on stage with Sammy, words can’t describe that night and the energy. Oh yeah, Toby Keith was on stage too, that night convinced me to move to Mexico. Can’t make that up.

    Does any one else think that Guy Fieri and Sammy are twins. Love this video with John Mayer!

    Interesting to hear John’s take on Eddie’s guitar work here. Two phenomenal guitarists with totally different styles. John stayed very true to Eddie’s riff and solo, but to hear it on acoustic was pretty cool. Interesting that John Mayer also played Eddie’s solo on Beat It when Fall Out Boy covered it. Much more free interpretation there, but showcases their different styles all the more.
