Time Off magazine spoke with Australian singer songwriter John Meyer about the confusion that emerges due to his name being strikingly similar to another singer songwriter named John. “I’m kind of waiting for that letter from his lawyer,” he laughed. “I never really intended to be a solo act; my focus was always on a band. But the frustrations with band line-ups and stuff made me want to do something where I had a bit more control. But I get the John Mayer thing a lot – we were in Sydney and apparently there were a couple of German backpackers there at the venue earlier in the night waiting for John Mayer. The guy who was running the gig was like ‘You wouldn’t have got in for free and it wouldn’t have been this empty!’.”
