Okay, I know I’m “on hiatus,” but I couldn’t resist posting one more (it’s an illness, I tell you!):
From his performance at London’s Hard Rock, which can’t be all that different from the faces he makes while performing in the… well, you know where I’m going with this.
O.k. I’ve got to make a stand right here, right now.
I am an an afficionado of Strat guitar masters. I won’t even name them (o.k., I will: Hendrix, Gallagher, Vaughan, for starters).
And I’ve got to say this: WhyTF is everybody done gone crazy about this barely-talented white boy?
I have seen NOT ONE moment of his performances that qualifies him to be in the ranks of great guitar-slingers, but he keeps cropping up.
Someone educate me, please.

June 29th, 2008 at 12:12 amNot a hater, Librarian, he’s actually pretty good. Listen to Continuum. He’s no Hamilton Loomis, but he can play.
June 29th, 2008 at 7:39 amIs it just me, or does he actually resemble George Dubya Bush in that upper right picture? Make the hair a little more gray and the face just slightly wider… Yikes.
June 29th, 2008 at 12:54 pmWell, he wanted there to be more photos of him with his guitar! I really like his guitar playing in the type of music he plays.
June 29th, 2008 at 3:46 pmYeesh. He looks like he’s having a stroke !
June 29th, 2008 at 7:17 pmYes, its well known that guitar face = sex face.
Ladies if ya wanna know what a man looks like in the throws of passion, get him to mime a little air guitar.
June 29th, 2008 at 9:19 pmFrewt: you hit it.
Mateo and Sac: because you say so, I am willing to reconsider.
Travelling (as a listener) through the world of guitar geniuses and wannabes is a very difficult path, a minefield. But I’ll give Johnny M. another listen.
June 30th, 2008 at 2:13 pmInstead of his O face, that’s his EWWW face.
June 30th, 2008 at 6:33 pmThe guy ALWAYS has weird expressions. His performance at the grammy’s was…bizzarro. Like Edward Scissorhands w/ a guitar.
His bread and butter is about being a square…who jams w/ Eric Clapton. Who kicks the prom king’s ass (over and over).
All this SHIT aside, there’s pretty much no doubt he’s good in the sack.
