@abranxfrut No he is correct, for the years 1961-1963 or so, "SG"s of that style with the sliding vibrato tailpiece were labelled as "Les Paul" on the truss rod cover. Now of course it is known as the SG or "solid guitar" as what gibson claims SG stands for. Either way, it is one hell of a guitar, beautiful piece.
@joesosa41 it was the last song. the only reason it feels long is because you're watching it at home on a computer screen. if you were there I bet you would've loved it. (: I sure did.
@HaruUnite Its a Gibson SG. lol. Look for the nods ( 1961 vintage Gibson Les Paul has 2, while Gibson SG has 4) and JM has 4... ALSO, SG also has 2 humbuckers which is what JM is using. The 1961 vintage Gibson Les Paul only has one single single pickup. Look closer hehe
@AloJou@Haraunite It's arguably both- In 1961 the Les Paul was redesigned- that's what this guitar is. Les Paul didn't like the new shape, so asked for his name to be dropped, so it was renamed "SG", but the first few were sold as Les Pauls, even tho they're what we now see as the SG shape.
in 1961 the gibson Les paul SG was produced without les paul's consent, and hje hated the design and asked for his name to be removed from the guitar the same year, although the truss rod covers still had the Les Paul name until 63' and that marked the end of Les Paul's involvement with the company.
@JohnMayerFan98 It is actually a 1961 Les Paul. Look closely at the truss rod cover on the headstock. In 1961 Gibson stopped making the original Les Pauls in favor of the new model. However, 1963 they re-introduced the "New Les Paul" as the "S.G." (Solid Guitar)
this needs to be called john mayer tries to sing drunk and ends up looking like he's retarded or something. i love john mayer, but this is hilariously weird
He was sick with the flu and a cold. I know, it looks like he's drunk or high, and he makes no bones about smoking weed, but it's been found out since this night, that he was sick :-)
@annml36 what does that have to do with him like totally spazzing out on stage? his voice doesnt sound weird, its his actions that that are really frightening
@iamsuchacard So true, I get what you're saying, I'm not disputing it at all. I did see him perform this live also and he does the same thing pretty much every time he does this song. Doesn't mean he isn't drunk or high at the time, so could be true. I'm not being mean or anything or attacking you, I'm kinda wondering myself how much he gets drunks sometimes before he goes on stage, lol
I once heard a guitar teacher say that if you hit a bum note live, repeat it a few times. Sooner or later the audience will start believing it's meant to be there and it'll sound right.
Although, he might have just hit a bum note. Then hit it again.
i know, you all know and he knows that CONTINUUM's been his best album so far. BUT this one is not bad. it's just not AS good... and this song is freaking amazing.
Speechless!! juz cant go out of tune while listening 2this album,,,,, its damn awesum,,, dowloaded the entire album for free at DownloadMusic[DOTT]im , ..
Wow some people are ridiculously into themseleves... This a JOHN MAYER video. If you have nothing nice to say... Why even waste your time on here. No one cares what your majors are or how much you know about music. All we wanted to do was listen to John Mayer not your bullshit! Get over yourself. And stop hating... It's not good for you.
yes. i am so into myself that i am not allowed to comment on the lack of interesting music in this video or above subject's music in general. Sometimes people who know a thing or two about music...uh...make good music. care to try again?
I love John Mayer. That's all I need to say. Love, Ya'll. Love the moment. Love the world. Love yourself. Most importantly, I love myself. Peace dudes.
Amazing!! This is what I call an album is.. And know what you can download the entire album for free at DownloadMusic/./im, just remove the slashes guys..
come on guys, i agree with misterhotshooz, but frankly, we all got our opinions, and they all a deserve a tad respect, some more than others though =]
This album is different. The sound itself is worth a million dollars man. Take a listen all the way from room for squares to battle studies. Every album is different and good in it's own light. This album is organic whether you like it or not. I'd accept it if a lot of people might say that this album is 'unpolished'. But, have you ever heard this record over a good pair of speakers? It's amazing I tell you.
I seriously beg to differ with your opinion on the album. I'd admit that it's difficult to write an entire album based on the theme of love itself and YES, some of the lyrics are very repetitive. But hey, that's the ABCs of pop music songwriting and it works without fail.
Maybe you're disappointed that John didn't do a Continuum Part II. Perhaps I was too when I initially heard the album but then again, this album grows on you.
i don't think i've ever seen john singing without a guitar strapped on him. and it was quite a LOL moment at the end of this vid to see him sing sans guitar.
sorry? i can't tell if you're typing to me, because you spelled my user name wrong, mr. nigger fucker baller. i can't win a grammy because i'm ugly as fuck. there you go. it's got NOTHING to do with my music.
its obviously not easy in that you have to win the hearts of... a million horny teenage girls. probably just like you. even though you made your name "NFBaller" lolz. Grammys are obviously hard to do, when your not a musician. Perfectly demonstrated by our "incredible musician friend" kanye west and Jay-Z and people like Taylor Swift and the Jonas Brothers. Their all just incredible musicians arent they!!!!! wow, I wish i could play liek nick jonas... hes just SOO talented at singing and guitar
and i bet john mayer would be hard pressed to win one if he was as ugly as i am. but i got the better music, for sure. however, i think with your impressively weak taste, it would be hard to show you.
wow. nthsieh928- your a complete idiot, who obviously has not a clue what your tlaking about. your calling john mayer, who has what, 7 grammys? hes a musical genious. yes, hes an amazing song writer, your head is obviously up your ass if you say hes not a good musician. i suggest you shut the hell up, and keep your dumbass coments to youself, because you have no idea what your talking about.
Right on, anyone who has studied ANYTHING related to music for more than a year knows JM has undeniable talent. Hate the guy all you want, either 1. you have no credentials to criticize or 2. you're just deaf. End of story.
hey i suggest your keep your inability to play or discern good music from bad music to yourself. The legitimate musical world absolutely hates john mayer for his crappy showmanship, his failure to play anything original and his idiotic lyrics. Which shows you how shitty you have to be to win a grammy...and...i have to say: If you think he's a "genious", i really don't want to know what other music you enjoy...
lmao! you sir must be the owner of all that is classified under music. You, a no name troll, can speak for the whole musical world huh?! You have the right to say your opinion, but DO NOT be little one (John Mayer) who has accomplished so much when you yourself have nothing to compare!
I don't respect his music. I don't respect his showmanship. I don't respect his entire musical outlook. You know what? I don't even think he's accomplished ANYTHING!!! Bitch ain't worth SHIT!!! hahaha. He's written some girly pop tunes. Gotten some crusty pooty tang... and incurred the hatred of legitimate musicians (by the way, i'm talking about people who actually study music, not pretend to know shit because they play).
You have the right to have an opinion and hate who you wanna hate, but I'm still just hearing the same shit when you argue your point. This just exudes jealousy for something you wish you could have but DONT. You're pretty much a HATER! Give me some LEGIT reasons that dont make John Mayer a real musician instead of your own biased opinion and then maybe I'll consider you as more than some jealous hater kid behind a computer screen.
don't worry man!! I'm not jealous! like i said i would hang myself before playing something this bad. Yeah, i'm a hater: i call bullshit when i see it! and this is some bullllllshiiiit!!!! and you, my good cracker, are the biggest eater of bullshit on this post, yet!!! Go take a music class!!! LEARN SOMETHING REAL about music.
1. he has no diversity in chord structure. it's the same damn chords that we've been playing since the church defined and there's nothing interesting in that. All they are are major triads in emo-tastic inversions. There's nothing interesting: no flat nines, flat fives, sharp fives, elevens, thirteens, nothing DIVERSE about this chord structure.
2.) the lyrics are completely bullshit! i mean seriously, who writes shit this bad...
3.) his solo SUCKS!!!! it takes a real musician to leave the pentatonic structure. it takes a pro to use the pentatonic structure in an interesting way. and sadly, john mayer does NEITHER here.
4.) there are no interesting points in the song. it flatlines through out the WHOLE tune. no interesting modulations, no key changes, no alterations in chord structure. just. the. same. damn. thing.
4 good reasons to hate john mayer. BOOM! headshot.
K if you have listened to this whole album (which you havent) its pretty much his heartbreak album/mellow album and his lyrics in my opinion are top notch. If you want amazing solos and variation continuum is what youre looking for. You and everyone else with shit to say are nothing but people who claim to be amazing musicians and have nothing to back it with other than your hate. And I will be this guy who knows shit about music, and I dont claim to be one of you guys. Im just a Fan of Music!
LOLOLOL YOU are the definition of a "fail troll". you don't even PRETEND to have musical credentials. fans=noobs. so you shouldn't even TRY to argue with us! Keep crying in the shower... It only gets worse.
btw...what does he have in his life to "heartbroken" about? he's got "achievements" right?
well i've got a whole lot of shit to say, but ain't gonna waste it on someone who can't even work on my level...
lol your level huh. lol why would I pretend to be something im not? like how you pretend to be soooo......no you kno what youre a pretender a hater and is not worthy of my time anymore.
yeah my level, son. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about when it comes to music--and apparently when it comes to knowing good lyrics. I enjoyed this conversation because i fully understand how dumbshits like britney spears and the jonas brothers rise to popularity. it's the grammy that counts, right?
great point tkdmaster. if hes achieved so much AKA fucked like every horny teenage girl out there and won grammys, why does he have a heartbreak album? why the fuck is he so heartbroke? hes just catering to bitchy girls who scream like hyenas at his concerts. lolzors continuum was good. This is SHIT. can i say that agian. THIS IS SHIT!!!!
"so why you wanna break my heart again? why am I going to let you try, when?" DUDE THESE ARE AWESOME LYRICS. i heard this shitty guitarist at my school comne up with lyrics just like this when. you know why hes always saying goodbye? he says goodbye everytime he fucks another woosie-eyed teenager that craves grammy covered cock. lolz.

Can you stop callin us haters? i don't hate JM. just this album. i think continuum was the shit but i think that this is SHIT. its literally the shmegma i clean from my cok every couple nights... tyhe lyurics are terrible and the music sucks. everything is deadpan, the exact same. srsly! listen for yourslef! listen through an ear of your own! and not one made by the industries and dumb teenage girls.
WOW you guys are so cool! I wish I could be like you guys and talk about how shitty john mayer is while I sit at home being a bitch on facebook! You guys are my heros! Someday, when I'm a failed wannabe musician (or not) like you guys, I'll do the same! Thanks for being an inspiration to the future generation of brainless assholes!!
lol. are you retarded. this isn't facebook. FAIL TROLL BY YOUR DEFINITION. agin with the ad hominum attacks. if you want to assure yourself that yes, john mayer is in fact amazing on his new record, then TALK ABOUT JOHN FUCKING MAYER. tell us why this reord is so fu cking good.
dude why are you so bitter? like really I feel like you have some kind of inferiority complex or something because you seem really upset. and nthsieh928: I seem to have misplaced the ear that industries and dumb teenage girls made me, but the smart teenage girls just came out with a new one. Should I get that one instead?
Hey tkdmaster3bd, I read your post. The thing about John Mayer is that he writes music like this that appeals to more of an audience, but he also has songs that posers like you won't try to find flaws with. And people actually enjoy listening to his music. If you can do so much better why isn't your music as popular as his? Oh wait, you don't have any. Next time you try to insult somebody make sure you know what you're talking about.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@misterhotshooz Man, you just don't understand. Across the field of music, i think there are like 2 musicians who respect john mayer's music. One would be himself. For one, i don't try to act like a tool, and write bullshit music. The stuff I play goes way harder and deeper than this horseshit. Too deep for emotastic crybabies who need their 1-5-1 fix. Popular music is not good music. Britney Spears is also popular. and miley cyrus, but they ain't got SHIT on Tim Armacost or Robin Eubanks.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
and I would NEVER sell out like this hackneyed distasteful excuse of a song. So, believe me, I don't have anything this popular, yes. Apparently you have to write some huge ass pile of bullshit to get popular. So...poor choice for defining music...popularity means ABSOLUTELY nothing, newbie. Now go out and take some music lessons before you try to continue speaking to me about this.
If you don't like it, don't have a go at other people who do... there are plenty musicians (myself included) that enjoy John Mayer's music, if you don't that's your own opinion and it'd be best if you kept it to yourself when people are trying to enjoy watching this video...
@tkdmaster3bd he's a great musician, man. the beatles, elvis, chuck berry, fleetwood mac, prince, etc all sold out as well. he's a technically proficient guitarist, a good lyricist/songwriter and his music sounds really REALLY good. that may not be good enough for you but it is for me and many others. i'm sorry your music doesn't appeal to as large an audience. just be happy for a fellow musician. it's not horseshit, it's just music you don't like. i don't care for taylor swift or jay-z but i'm
so let me get this straight.....you are enraged at john mayer bc he relies heavily on the pentatonic structure, does not use enough chord variations for you, and recycles lyrics. for someone that hates him so much, you seem to be quite the expert on his music. the beatles had simple music and are viewed as genius. your probably the greatest musician to ever live, but im sure mayer is content with the respect from clapton, bb king, herbie hancock, buddy guy and the like. who do you listen to?????
sure. I happen to have listened to music before...I also study music theory, which allows me to break down music I hear into it's basic rudimentary parts. Jazz also gives me a better ear, which allows me to do the same even faster. So...what is your point about me being able to point out the basics of his music? it's pretty simple pop stuff...
i understand though, generally elite music students such as yourself are bitter and harbor resentment towards those musicians that have made it over them. maybe if he made a jazz record he might attempt to please you. i bet he would fall far short and only enlist more sour responses from trend setters such as yourself. i will be looking for your album in the near future.
hmmm...herbie hancock respects john mayer? just because he made a track with him means he respects him? By the way, if you look through my posts, I say nothing about "respect". Bullshit music has nothing to do with respect. John Mayer is probably a nice guy, and he's a good person. I respect that. I SERIOUSLY DISLIKE and DO NOT APPROVE of his musical taste. I think it's bullshit. And apparently the vast majority of americans (as a byproduct of lack of arts funding in our edu. system) disagree.
Mayer is one of the best musicians/guitar players of this generation. While he flourishes in blues (which relies heavily on pentatonic scales) he can hold his own in jazz. Why else would herbie hancock have him do a song with him? And watch the video of them two making "stitched up" together. Herbie DOES respect him.
no, i will not shut the hell up. but thanks for trying. that album was some of the worst work i'd seen from herbie: santana...john mayer...? it's like he was trying to ride off the popularity of other musicians. andddd you obviously do not have a clue about you're talking about because mayer SUCKS at jazz. santana also sucks at jazz...tell me santana is jazz and i'll be laughing till tomorrow. so, still nobody's given me an evidence that jm is good, i've given evidence that jm is bad. typical.
You've given no evidence that Mayer is bad. The only "evidence" you've given is that you have said he's bad like your an expert.
How can you be insulting some the best guitar players in the business when you have not show me anyone who is better. Just because you think of yourself as some kind of professional music critique doesn't mean shit.
I bet you didn't even get into a music school, you're probably a communications major at a State school.
rofl. really you're going to go there? Okay, well i happen to be a double degree: jazz major at oberlin conservatory and a politics major, so...wrong, buddy. How about: Kurt Rosenwinkel, Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Django Reinhart, Joe Pass, for a start?
I just gave you all the evidence I needed. Did you even understand it? You haven't been able to present any kind of evidence that comes CLOSE to the analysis i made, so...why are you talking? Try again...?

Wow some people are ridiculously into themseleves... This a JOHN MAYER video. If you have nothing nice to say... Why even waste your time on here. No one cares what your majors are or how much you know about music. All we wanted to do was listen to John Mayer not your bullshit! Get over yourself. And stop hating... It's not good for you.

This album is different. The sound itself is worth a million dollars man. Take a listen all the way from room for squares to battle studies. Every album is different and good in it's own light. This album is organic whether you like it or not. I'd accept it if a lot of people might say that this album is 'unpolished'. But, have you ever heard this record over a good pair of speakers? It's amazing I tell you.

@nthsieh928:
I seriously beg to differ with your opinion on the album. I'd admit that it's difficult to write an entire album based on the theme of love itself and YES, some of the lyrics are very repetitive. But hey, that's the ABCs of pop music songwriting and it works without fail.
Maybe you're disappointed that John didn't do a Continuum Part II. Perhaps I was too when I initially heard the album but then again, this album grows on you.

sorry? i can't tell if you're typing to me, because you spelled my user name wrong, mr. nigger fucker baller. i can't win a grammy because i'm ugly as fuck. there you go. it's got NOTHING to do with my music.
tkdmaster3bd 2 years ago
its obviously not easy in that you have to win the hearts of... a million horny teenage girls. probably just like you. even though you made your name "NFBaller" lolz. Grammys are obviously hard to do, when your not a musician. Perfectly demonstrated by our "incredible musician friend" kanye west and Jay-Z and people like Taylor Swift and the Jonas Brothers. Their all just incredible musicians arent they!!!!! wow, I wish i could play liek nick jonas... hes just SOO talented at singing and guitar

hey i suggest your keep your inability to play or discern good music from bad music to yourself. The legitimate musical world absolutely hates john mayer for his crappy showmanship, his failure to play anything original and his idiotic lyrics. Which shows you how shitty you have to be to win a grammy...and...i have to say: If you think he's a "genious", i really don't want to know what other music you enjoy...

lmao! you sir must be the owner of all that is classified under music. You, a no name troll, can speak for the whole musical world huh?! You have the right to say your opinion, but DO NOT be little one (John Mayer) who has accomplished so much when you yourself have nothing to compare!
dragoon10 2 years ago
I don't respect his music. I don't respect his showmanship. I don't respect his entire musical outlook. You know what? I don't even think he's accomplished ANYTHING!!! Bitch ain't worth SHIT!!! hahaha. He's written some girly pop tunes. Gotten some crusty pooty tang... and incurred the hatred of legitimate musicians (by the way, i'm talking about people who actually study music, not pretend to know shit because they play).

You have the right to have an opinion and hate who you wanna hate, but I'm still just hearing the same shit when you argue your point. This just exudes jealousy for something you wish you could have but DONT. You're pretty much a HATER! Give me some LEGIT reasons that dont make John Mayer a real musician instead of your own biased opinion and then maybe I'll consider you as more than some jealous hater kid behind a computer screen.
dragoon10 2 years ago
don't worry man!! I'm not jealous! like i said i would hang myself before playing something this bad. Yeah, i'm a hater: i call bullshit when i see it! and this is some bullllllshiiiit!!!! and you, my good cracker, are the biggest eater of bullshit on this post, yet!!! Go take a music class!!! LEARN SOMETHING REAL about music.
tkdmaster3bd 2 years ago
okay, let me repeat what nthsieh said:
1. he has no diversity in chord structure. it's the same damn chords that we've been playing since the church defined and there's nothing interesting in that. All they are are major triads in emo-tastic inversions. There's nothing interesting: no flat nines, flat fives, sharp fives, elevens, thirteens, nothing DIVERSE about this chord structure.
2.) the lyrics are completely bullshit! i mean seriously, who writes shit this bad...
tkdmaster3bd 2 years ago
3.) his solo SUCKS!!!! it takes a real musician to leave the pentatonic structure. it takes a pro to use the pentatonic structure in an interesting way. and sadly, john mayer does NEITHER here.
4.) there are no interesting points in the song. it flatlines through out the WHOLE tune. no interesting modulations, no key changes, no alterations in chord structure. just. the. same. damn. thing.
4 good reasons to hate john mayer. BOOM! headshot.
tkdmaster3bd 2 years ago
K if you have listened to this whole album (which you havent) its pretty much his heartbreak album/mellow album and his lyrics in my opinion are top notch. If you want amazing solos and variation continuum is what youre looking for. You and everyone else with shit to say are nothing but people who claim to be amazing musicians and have nothing to back it with other than your hate. And I will be this guy who knows shit about music, and I dont claim to be one of you guys. Im just a Fan of Music!

LOLOLOL YOU are the definition of a "fail troll". you don't even PRETEND to have musical credentials. fans=noobs. so you shouldn't even TRY to argue with us! Keep crying in the shower... It only gets worse.
btw...what does he have in his life to "heartbroken" about? he's got "achievements" right?

great point tkdmaster. if hes achieved so much AKA fucked like every horny teenage girl out there and won grammys, why does he have a heartbreak album? why the fuck is he so heartbroke? hes just catering to bitchy girls who scream like hyenas at his concerts. lolzors continuum was good. This is SHIT. can i say that agian. THIS IS SHIT!!!!

Hey tkdmaster3bd, I read your post. The thing about John Mayer is that he writes music like this that appeals to more of an audience, but he also has songs that posers like you won't try to find flaws with. And people actually enjoy listening to his music. If you can do so much better why isn't your music as popular as his? Oh wait, you don't have any. Next time you try to insult somebody make sure you know what you're talking about.

@misterhotshooz Man, you just don't understand. Across the field of music, i think there are like 2 musicians who respect john mayer's music. One would be himself. For one, i don't try to act like a tool, and write bullshit music. The stuff I play goes way harder and deeper than this horseshit. Too deep for emotastic crybabies who need their 1-5-1 fix. Popular music is not good music. Britney Spears is also popular. and miley cyrus, but they ain't got SHIT on Tim Armacost or Robin Eubanks.

and I would NEVER sell out like this hackneyed distasteful excuse of a song. So, believe me, I don't have anything this popular, yes. Apparently you have to write some huge ass pile of bullshit to get popular. So...poor choice for defining music...popularity means ABSOLUTELY nothing, newbie. Now go out and take some music lessons before you try to continue speaking to me about this.
tkdmaster3bd 2 years ago
If you don't like it, don't have a go at other people who do... there are plenty musicians (myself included) that enjoy John Mayer's music, if you don't that's your own opinion and it'd be best if you kept it to yourself when people are trying to enjoy watching this video...

@tkdmaster3bd he's a great musician, man. the beatles, elvis, chuck berry, fleetwood mac, prince, etc all sold out as well. he's a technically proficient guitarist, a good lyricist/songwriter and his music sounds really REALLY good. that may not be good enough for you but it is for me and many others. i'm sorry your music doesn't appeal to as large an audience. just be happy for a fellow musician. it's not horseshit, it's just music you don't like. i don't care for taylor swift or jay-z but i'm

naw man. i call bullshit when i see it. what it makes me look like, i care not.
tkdmaster3bd 2 years ago
so let me get this straight.....you are enraged at john mayer bc he relies heavily on the pentatonic structure, does not use enough chord variations for you, and recycles lyrics. for someone that hates him so much, you seem to be quite the expert on his music. the beatles had simple music and are viewed as genius. your probably the greatest musician to ever live, but im sure mayer is content with the respect from clapton, bb king, herbie hancock, buddy guy and the like. who do you listen to?????
bladerhawk 2 years ago
sure. I happen to have listened to music before...I also study music theory, which allows me to break down music I hear into it's basic rudimentary parts. Jazz also gives me a better ear, which allows me to do the same even faster. So...what is your point about me being able to point out the basics of his music? it's pretty simple pop stuff...
tkdmaster3bd 2 years ago
i understand though, generally elite music students such as yourself are bitter and harbor resentment towards those musicians that have made it over them. maybe if he made a jazz record he might attempt to please you. i bet he would fall far short and only enlist more sour responses from trend setters such as yourself. i will be looking for your album in the near future.
bladerhawk 2 years ago
hmmm...herbie hancock respects john mayer? just because he made a track with him means he respects him? By the way, if you look through my posts, I say nothing about "respect". Bullshit music has nothing to do with respect. John Mayer is probably a nice guy, and he's a good person. I respect that. I SERIOUSLY DISLIKE and DO NOT APPROVE of his musical taste. I think it's bullshit. And apparently the vast majority of americans (as a byproduct of lack of arts funding in our edu. system) disagree.
tkdmaster3bd 2 years ago
Dude will you just shut the hell up.
Mayer is one of the best musicians/guitar players of this generation. While he flourishes in blues (which relies heavily on pentatonic scales) he can hold his own in jazz. Why else would herbie hancock have him do a song with him? And watch the video of them two making "stitched up" together. Herbie DOES respect him.
nickstabblack 2 years ago
no, i will not shut the hell up. but thanks for trying. that album was some of the worst work i'd seen from herbie: santana...john mayer...? it's like he was trying to ride off the popularity of other musicians. andddd you obviously do not have a clue about you're talking about because mayer SUCKS at jazz. santana also sucks at jazz...tell me santana is jazz and i'll be laughing till tomorrow. so, still nobody's given me an evidence that jm is good, i've given evidence that jm is bad. typical.

You've given no evidence that Mayer is bad. The only "evidence" you've given is that you have said he's bad like your an expert.
How can you be insulting some the best guitar players in the business when you have not show me anyone who is better. Just because you think of yourself as some kind of professional music critique doesn't mean shit.
I bet you didn't even get into a music school, you're probably a communications major at a State school.

I just gave you all the evidence I needed. Did you even understand it? You haven't been able to present any kind of evidence that comes CLOSE to the analysis i made, so...why are you talking? Try again...?
