As annoying as John Mayer's voice and infuriating his lyrics are, he _is_ a kick-ass guitarist.

I wonder if he'll live to see Scottish independence. I have a feeling he's hanging on for it.

The late great Utah Phillips was like that too … and we liked it!

Just around New Year 2006, my mom called to tell me that, while at the hospital for something completely unrelated, she'd been diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer, and that she had a few months to live.
