John mayer grateful dead12/22/2023 And, yeah, I would probably like another 10, 15, 20%, but that comes with another 85% of headache. I really write down on a piece of paper what I want out of life and what I want out of work and what I want out of “fame”-and I have all the stuff I want. I know what to expect, I know how much I should be asking for when I knock on the door, and I get it. I have a perfect image of ambition and reward for my life right now. What’re you doing right? The reason I’m so happy now is because a lot of expectation that I had for myself was probably a little bit unnecessary. I have to say you seem pretty fulfilled going into 40. In a wide-ranging conversation over a few days, we discussed questions of authenticity, access, culture and more-including the Grateful Dead’s fashion influence, his favorite new brands, and whether he’d like to get into fashion design one day. The guitar hero’s obsession with cult Japanese brand Visvim is well-documented, but even the most casual John Mayer follower would notice that in the past few years his journey into other rarefied corners of menswear has gotten just as serious.Īnd now, he’s ready to go in on the world he inhabits when he’s not holding a guitar. He Snapchats about fashion topics ranging from his love for Kirkland brand sneakers to how he meticulously hand-washes his white tees. He takes selfies in Max Pittion shades, a French eyewear company he re-launched after it went out of business. He’s active on a group of bootleg Grateful Dead T-shirt Instagram accounts. And along the way he’s dropped hints-among self-deprecating jokes about fame, bored hotel room ruminations, and wide-pan stadium vistas-that his status as a fashion legend has only gotten stronger. Having largely avoided formal interviews for the greater part of the last decade, Mayer’s famously overactive brain is best accessed through his prolific social media use. ![]() ![]() His seventh LP, The Search for Everything, has also been out for a few months, full of cathartic tunes that he gets to play on the second leg of his own tour-and at a dive bar in LA on July 26-when it begins later this month. Mayer is upbeat and seems extremely happy, on the tail end of a righteous summer tour with Dead & Company, the band he formed with former members of the Grateful Dead. He’s wearing Visvim boots, a white gold Rolex, and rocking what he calls “autumn sunrise” highlights in his hair. We’re at 7B, a prototypical East Village bar, where Mayer’s filming promos for his Bud Light Dive Bar Tour date later this summer.
