John Mayer Interview REVU.nl (with Questions Translated) 2006

This interview was done in a hotel room in Amsterdam, Holland, by REVU magazine on October 20th, 2006. The interviewer is Guuz Hoogaerts.
I've done my best to translate his questions from Dutch to English:

Question from REVU:
On your new album you covered "Bold as Love" by Jimi Hendrix, why not "Little Wing"? Is it your favorite Hendrix tune?

REVU: You have a hit with "Waiting on the World to Change", is it an anthem for your generation?

REVU: In "Gravity" you sing, "Gravity wants to bring me down". John, are you burdened by gravity?

REVU: Your new album 'Continuum' has a more soulful sound than your past records, why is that?

(John sings a few bars of "Happy to be Stuck with You" by Huey Lewis & The News...)

Revu: That sounds great John! Now, just one more question. How about you and Jessica Simpson?


REVU, or Revue, is a magazine that focuses on news, sports, journalism research, entertainment, crime, sex and social reports. The magazine reports what is going on in the world and describes it is in a way that can only be described as: cheeky, honest and often controversial.

@corbettwalshmusic I agree, it was pretty much ruined by the last question. You can see how uncomfortable he gets with the invasion of his privacy. It's a shame really, it was such a good interview up until that point.

he was so chilled out until that last question. why do people have to know the whole personal side of the story? just let the dude make unbelievable music.
