We’re Toto-ly not all right with this

Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for The Recording Academy What seemed like an earnest attempt at rebranding himself as a Gen-X yacht-rock prince turns out to be just a few choppy waves of deceit. John Mayer, days before the release of his newest album, Sob Rock, told Zane Lowe in a new interview that the inspiration behind it wasn’t to pay homage to the previous ’80s boys of summer but rather that he wanted to gravitate away from what he thought was “cool” in our post-pandemic world.

But more importantly, it’s what I thought was a shitpost, and this gets down to where artists sit in front of you and play you what they think is their garbage. And you go, “That’s the best thing I ever heard you play.” It makes a mockery of their interpretation of the experience. Which is just enough to break out of the mold and make something unique.

In hindsight, we should’ve known that Mayer’s “Last Train Home” was a red herring. A true believer would’ve called it “First Boat Out ”.
