John Mayer’s Benign Revolution Is Under Way
April 23, 2002 – David Lindquist of the Indianapolis Star reviewed John Mayer’s show Sunday at the Murat Egyptian Room, calling him a ‘worthy rival’ to Dave Matthews’ frat-rock throne. Lindquist revealed the singer scored laughs with a near cover of the Backstreet Boys’ ‘I Want It That Way’ during the set. Of the Matthews comparisons, he adds, “Consider that Mayer enunciates when he sings, writes songs tailored for radio airplay and plays stylish guitar solos. Mayer also is better-looking than Matthews and more personable with an audience.”
Individualism Is A Two-Edged Sword For John Mayer
April 19, 2002 – Jim Farber of the New York Daily News spoke with John Mayer on his musical style that is so unique, it’s somewhat of a double-edged sword for him. “The trait of becoming a good songwriter isn’t as easily duplicable by the industry as, say, everyone wanting to be Pearl Jam,” he says. “Then, all you had to do was clench your teeth and sing real loud. To be thoughtful, it takes something more.” The full story at jsonline.com has since been removed.

John said, “So many things in my life appear to be noble, but in reality they’re circumstantial. What I do know is I made a record that wasn’t watched by a lot of people, and it seems to have turned out fine. I can hold it up and say, ‘Look what happens when I make records this way.'”
