One of the most annoying things about John Mayer is that he’s really smart. He’s funny and quoteable and is always writing/doing/saying amusing stuff that we are forced to enjoy, subsequently creating shame in our hearts. Here’s yet another example.
Mayer decided to memorialize his last tour date with Sheryl Crow by dressing up as a bear for their nightly duet on Crowe’s hit “My Favorite Mistake.” Crow was apparently totally amused, and forgot half the words to the second verse as a result. Mayer writes about the evening on his blog:
“So, after all the great nights of music, after opening our hearts up on stage, making the leap of faith that is closing our eyes and hoping we’re affecting the scores of people who have waited all afternoon to temporarily quell whatever is weighing on them, this incredible six-week experience will be summed up with just a photograph: Sheryl Crow leaning against a douchebag in a bear suit.”
He goes on to discuss the various pranks he’d like Crow to pull as retribution, including his favorite: “Sheryl on a horse.” Then he composes this really humble, sappy note about how much he’s enjoyed touring with her. Why do we think his rampant crush is kinda sweet? What has come over us?
