Dedicated. Soulful. Rockstar. These are the first words that come to mind when I think about the man called John Mayer. I was already familiar with his debut Room for Squares but when I was 16, I was obsessed when he released Continuum. John Mayer spoke to my heart when I listened to his music. I thought he was soulful, gifted, and brilliant at his craft. Although I temporarily boycotted his music for a lengthy season after a memorable and disappointing Rolling Stone cover story I learned about, I eventually put it behind me and remained a fan. Despite his personal life, I can appreciate the amazing music he’s made. I really enjoyed his work Battle Studies, but to this day Continuum remains one of my favorites. It’s awesome from start to finish and worth checking out if you’ve never listened to it before. In fact, get a dose of Continuum here. He’s an artist you just can’t get out of your head. And his guitar skills? Legendary. Check him out sometime.

We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
