As far as I'm concerned, that's fine. Great and unconventional music isn't for everyone. Let John Mayer sing for the masses.

you're right of course. except i don't know who the fuck is john mayer ha ha ha. i've seen his name mentioned places, but i have no idea of 1) who he is 2) what he looks like 3) what he does-- okay, you say he sings, but i didn't know that before this moment, and i don't know what/how he sings.
and i think i'm really happy i'm able to unknow those kinds of things. proof i'm well shielded. and the RRHF is not something i care about at all. any kind of "hall of fame" really-- i don't give a fuck. industry shrines/events.
BUT hearing about kim playing with nirvana is a small good thing to me. those things mean something in my carefully walled universe. i enjoy them.
(of course, then i skimmed through the springsteen fan comments and i had to vomit a little. walls aren't perfect insulators, unfortunately.)
