John Mayer on Guitar Tone

[Eric***]

What I was trying to say is that it is possible to admire someone's creation without necessarily admiring the creator.

I agree, but it's harder for me. What I was touching upon earlier is that I feel hypocritical because I love a lot of work of people I probably wouldn't like personally. So when I point out someone like Mayer, I do so knowing full well that I probably don't adhere to that ethos (i.e. that the creator shouldn't be a turd) much of the time.

So back to what I said initially in here, it's just that it's harder for me to admire the creation. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

I remember when he was on The Chapelle Show and I used to just crack up.
I think he's a great musician, a practical joker and a bit of a smart a$$ who doesn't always think before he puts his mouth in gear, but hey, haven't most of us been guilty of that at one time or another?
John's average just seems to be "another" more than "one", I think.
