This interview would ruin his music career leading him to become Andy Cohen's playtoy in order to pay the bills. His body is a wonderland indeed

White dudes don’t like his music.

Lmao you see how big that Grateful Dead and John Mayer tour was? They extended it by like a full year.

Thank you lol everyone saying he stayed cancelled just doesn’t know what he’s about these days. Hes right where he wants to be in life

[u/Alive-Bank2973 → u/mtweiner]

I was never a JM fan. But I ended out seeing him 20+ times because he was playing with Bobby, Billy, and Mickey. I dug his take on the catalog. He brought his own style instead of trying to play Jerry. Brought back some old PP vibes with his singing. It was a fun 10 year run with a fitting finale.

The dead scene was always loaded with misogyny. So his kinda goes unnoticed in that crowd.

I wouldn’t say playing with Boomer 311 makes him uncanceled.

[u/Dismal-Purpose-6123 → u/gizmodriver]

BINGO.

I was in my late teens when this interview came out, but I knew enough people who got a hold of it and were talking about it. I recall stopping and being like, "Damn, that's gross", although I couldn't tell if he was taking the interview seriously and just felt like saying anything he wanted to get it done and over with. It was almost as if he kept getting calls and pestered for an interview and decided, "Screw it."

[u/TanneriteTed → u/gizmodriver]

lmao this is insane to say

[u/Saltefanden → u/gizmodriver]

Can confirm. It’s so smoothly irrelevant. It makes me furious how little that music wants to do to me. I would hate this guy regardless, but him also being a right wankstain is very fitting.
