When this whole D&C thing started there were a bunch of Dead Heads that just put a wall up and refused to listen, simply because of Mayer's pop background, but as they have continued on i have seen and heard a huge shift in attitudes because Mayer has and is doing his best to fit in and not stick out and I think he's done a fantastic job. Oteil has always been a great addition and this year you are seeing the emergence of Jeff C, while he is no Brent, he is absolutely KILLING it on the keyboards. When I was at the Camden show iwent to Shakedown with the sole purpose of finding a "John Mayer is Dead to me" t-shirt, i lucked out and found one that was based loosely on the Europe 72 Ice Cream boy logo. I wore it to Raleigh and I got the reaction I was hoping for....people taking the 'wrong' meaning of the shirt, once they re-read it, i got a lot of really big smiles.
