    Lived, listened and played professionally since 1969 .. John Mayer is a phenom .. Master guitarist, singer/songwriter and don't let anyone tell you any different .. This is an individual that is one with his guitar and can write a tune effortlessly .. he's as good as they come

Assuming that's the gist of what happened, am I the only one who thinks his voice just doesn't have it anymore, compared to how he used to sing? I feel depressed for him, becasue it's one of thos things, "life happens", and you're changed forever. I relate to that scenario a lot.
