What defines ART?: 5 stars!

I've seen a lot of good stuff. I've heard a lot of amazingly talented musicians, voaclists, and poets. To me, Mayer is an uncanny diamond in the ruff. He's not only the pearl inside the clam at the bottom of the sea who floated to the top and was discovered, but he happens to be the most beautiful and special one at that (figuratively speaking with the analogy. Calm down ladies who here for the hair only. In fact, you should probably stop reading at this point). My parenthetical note brings me to the next point. Mayer has the ability to crossover these worlds that rarely coincide. He has the ability to instill an impetus for a group of ladies to have entire dicussion forum dedicated to which hair style is best, and he STILL has every bit of talent and art to give to the rest of us who are a little more than superficial. I could go through a music history lesson, but I'll just say (and with obvious conviction) not many people have been able to that EVER. John Mayer can please the bimbo next door AND the jazzers in between Ornette Coleman records. He does it all. He FEELS it all. That to me is an artist in true form. I'm fond of many many things and ways of believing and styles of living and music, all of which I could understandably see others vehemently hating. But with the wisdom I carry, I can't seem to find an answer to why anyone would not like or at least appreciate John Mayer - for everything he is, stands for, does, and the general way he carries himself.

The DVD is explained thoroughly, and everyone will review this a million times and reitterate and restate the same things over and over. My review was more of an aritst review, but was inspired after watching this DVD. Mayer is the only artist that I would do this for. I got the DVD the first day it came out, watched it all (even though I should have been doing more productive things), and now finally come out of a shell and write a review. I've been a fan a long time, and he's the only artist that can make me, a grown man, cry upon the initiation of a song - just a speck of a song, a note, or a vocal nuance. That's saying something. That's art. This DVD is on par with Mayer's being. Again, several small parts send me to welling up with tears - envy, wanton, happiness, who knows what all - I am a verbose and thoughtful (pensive) person, and I can't tell you what or why his music does what it does to me. That's art.

Long review, I apoloigize. If you have read thus far, you should be commended. I would like to say for my likewise guitar players out there, that Mayer once again takes it to a new level. We use to wonder how to play like him, then we finally got there, then we proceeded to nail all his blues chops, but even now, he takes his improv and HEART to a new level. And his vocal improv has never been more handsome and sturdy. This DVD is a journey, and one that should require focus. Give yourself to this music. Become a part of it. Become a part of him, and this will take you someplace that not even Mayer has taken you yet. It's funny how ART continues to make scholars and scientists fall to their knees. And for that fact, a 5 star rating system just doesn't seem to inflict the same fire.
