John Mayer and Some Guy Named Eric Clapton on Good Morning America Tomorrow
July 19th, 2007
UPDATE: It is now 8:43am mountain time. Since this has already aired on the east coast you can catch a few video clips on the ABC website here.
Ok, who is skipping work tomorrow morning? I’m lucky enough to have the day off, so I’ll be at home. Good Morning America should air here in Mountain Time at 8am on channel 5. You can watch it on whatever channel abc is in your area.
I’m not a huge Mayer fan, but I’m a little excited to see what this Clapton guy is all about. Eric Clapton will be John’s special guest for the show.
But seriously folks, how can you have Clapton as YOUR special guest and not feel like a god among men. “Yeah, I’m going on the Good Morning America show tomorrow. What? A backup guitarist? Naah, I’m good, I’ve already got one. Eric Clapton AKA God is going to be backing me. He’s pretty good… I guess…”
John Mayer has been gaining in popularity over the last few years, and not just in the screaming lusting female-teenager demographic. He has gained a lot of respect from the guitar and blues communities, hence the whole Clapton thing (see above).
The singer, writer, blogger, stand-up comedian and shoe designer has also become a bona fide heartthrob. Since bursting onto the music scene in 2001 with his first major studio album, “Room for Squares,” Mayer has sold millions of albums, won five Grammys and broken hearts — sometimes famous hearts — in both hemispheres.
That first album featured the hit “Your Body Is a Wonderland,” rumored to have been inspired by then-girlfriend Jennifer Love-Hewitt. It won him a Grammy for best male pop vocal performance.

Ohhhkay holld on, John Mayer dated Jennifer Love-Hewitt? Seriously… her body IS a wonderland. That song just took on a whole new crazy kind of meaning for me. Every time I hear it now I’m just going to imagine John Meyer saying “yeah, I hit that”.
On a side note, Fender will be releasing their limited edition Eric Clapton Crossroads Stratocaster AKA the Sun Strat. The proceeds will go to help support Claptons Crossroads Centre. Crossroads is a rehab center created by Clapton in the late 90s.
One week from saturday the Crossroads Guitar Festival will kick off in Chicago. Clapton and Mayer will perform again, but this time it will be a full concert. Other guests include Jeff Beck, Cheryl Crow, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, BB King, Albert Lee, John Mclaughlin, Willie Nelson, Jimmie Vaughan, Steve Winwood, and more.

I’ve actually heard that John Mayer doesn’t write any of his own music. That’s kind of sad to me that someone that famous puts such a disguise on their talents.
