I'm a bad little JM fan. Normally i'd be all over this album like white on rice. But since I have $30 to my name and i'm up to my eyeballs in projects, assignments, and other duties....I can't get my azz to the store and buy it.
But I have listened to the leaks of Battle Studies and am thrilled at its contents! He covered CROSSROADS!!!!! One of my favorite songs from Cream!
Some favorites already are Heartbreak Warfare, Friends Lovers or Nothing, and the single Who Says.
He's a humble dude. That's what I mostly love about him. He loves his fans and takes nothing from his celebrity for granted. He makes fun of himself. And he's smart as hell. He continues to give a good name to popular artists in that...being smart and knowledgeable can count in your favor. I see too many artists who have no educational values and don't use their intelligence to get them ahead....and are just too damn popular for their britches.
Thank you, John for...literally...keeping it real.
EDIT: Those lips look soooooo damn kissable on the cover too, lol!!!
