Mayer's body a tattooed wonderland

I think John Mayer can do whatever he wants, it doesn’t take away from his musical talent. I think it’s safe to say that the tattoos won’t affect his ability to play the guitar and sing.
And, I highly doubt that John Mayer will have flabby arms in 2028, but maybe I just refuse to think of him in that way…
And, I should mention, I think people are more intrigued by his facial expressions when he sings than any tattoo on his body.

He’s beautiful, his music is beautiful, & his new tat is beautiful. Its another example of the creativity that his fans apprciate so much.

What an interesting article. Sigh…

You love tattoos and yet you predict this will be a failure, or a ‘backfire’ for him. Good thing it’s him and not you, I guess.

HollBeth, although you’re right that Room for Squares came out in 2001, according to Wikipedia, the album was “relatively unknown at the time of its release” — and based on the law of “if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it,” people weren’t aware that Mayer declared was going run through the halls of his high school until mid-2002 when the song became popular.

Usually there is a gender pattern in the appeal of music acts. Women often like good looking and expressive singers, while (straight) white men generally identify with sullen but flashy guitar gods. Many rock groups offer such archetypes among their personnel – Axel and Slash, Daltrey and Townsend, Mick and Keef, Plant and Page, Paul and George, etc. — to appeal to both male and female fans. However, sometimes a talented individual can combine both attributes. Chuck Berry was perhaps the first. Peter Frampton did it in the 70s and had some of the best-selling albums of all time. Now John Mayer is carrying on the tradition and reaping the rewards.
