I’m Old

What do I know? I still listen to “Brandy … you’re a fine girl.” And, to be fair to ME, John Mayer. I mean it doesn’t get better than “It Shouldn’t Matter But it Does.” You know why? Lyrics. But that’s me. And I’m old.

Ok, so ”Man I Need” is not “Man In The Mirror,” but it’s delightful, no? It’s not trying to bedazzle me with substance-free wordplay. It’s a good-old fashioned ear-worm. ❤️‍🔥

One HAS to get into bed with other ppl because you never know how they’ll tap into places within you that never got explored. I get it. But I’ll just say this at the risk of being boo’d: It feels like artists are asking themselves with whom they should pair-up in order to stay on the charts, make history, win an award. Does Great + Great = Great? 😳😳😳😳

It wasn’t quite right but it’s just a blip at nearly the end of what will be 60 years+ of an unfathomable body of work from a beloved human. Didn’t he earn the space to come out and give us what he’s got without judgment?

How far do we need to go to feel like we've boldly gone where no one has gone before?
