John Mayer

And so I still, look, I'm still in a lot of people's minds in a good way doing something I'm not doing anymore.

Whether they're attached to a record or a tour I was on.

They still want to share YouTube videos of a tour I did in 2014 or whatever.

And

There are still people who go, oh yeah, he's the man whore or whatever.

But it's not on each and every person to update their knowledge of me every year.

You know what I mean?

There you go.

That's actually a brilliant observation.

It's like the world creates my Facebook status.

So here's why that's okay.

If somebody gets you a little bit wrong,

If you said something and someone recounts it and they get one word wrong and it makes something sweet sound not sweet, you're going to jump out and go, that is not what I said.

Here's how I said it.

You're going to fine tune that thing that you're being misunderstood for.

There comes a point where if you're so misunderstood, it's almost like they're thinking about a different person.

So the me that most people who don't know me are thinking about is so far away from me that I don't actually feel

I don't actually.

feel like disrupted in any way by it they're talking about a character or a thing that's been like an artifact right like this one little glitch that sort of grew and became this other thing i don't feel the need and i hope you don't think this is like me going like let me set the record straight no no i'm i'm you know you're just taking us through your psyche yeah being being being misunderstood at this age is nowhere near as painful as it was being misunderstood in my 20s

And a lot of the shit that I did in my 20s was an attempt to reset the misunderstanding.
