A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE MUSICAL BRILLIANCE

A SERIOUS AND COMPLETELY UN-IRONIC MESSAGE FROM OUR CULTURAL CORRESPONDENT



I think that John Mayer is not only the greatest Blues guitarist of all time, but also that he is the most intelligent, sexiest and most eloquent man ever to have lived. I further believe that Mr. Mayer's new album--"Battle Studies"--is the greatest musical work ever committed to a tangible medium. Finally, I believe that John Mayer's genius for the Blues stems from his challenging formative years as a wage laborer in suburban Connecticut, where he faced systematic racial discrimination, violence, heartbreak and emotional turmoil due to his socio-economic status in a segregated community.
