In Alex Mar's interview with John Mayer, the interview begins with simple questions that relate to Mayer's new album release, "Try!". As most interviews do, the questions begin to evolve into questions relating to Mayer's personal life. The two discuss Mayer's Grammy awards, music, money, and Mayer's fan base.

After reading this article, I must say that I am impressed with John Mayer. The way he carries himself and his wittiness in interviews is extremely entertaining.This article really gave me a different perspective on Mayer. Many people, myself included, have a predetermined opinion of him before actually listening to what he has to say. In this article, Mayer reveals himself as someone who is actually very vulnerable and slightly insecure about being accepted by his fans and other famous musicians, such as Eric Clapton. He praises his fans for giving him the opportunity to do what he loves to do, which is play music. Mayer describes his audience as "... fantastic. Smart, and Incredibly giving" (Mar 4). But like most John Mayer interviews, this one shares its dose of cockiness and awkwardness. Near the end of the interview, Mayer says, "I'm the only person I know who's got a bunch of money"(Mar 3). At first this seemed like a very conceited statement to me, but he goes on to defend himself by saying that he is lonely as a solo artist and he has "always been very shy [with money]" (Mar 3). Even though Mayer makes ridiculous comments, his ability to redeem himself by using his charm, wittiness, and impeccable word choice should be applauded.
