In their first ever edition of Behind the Comments, Emma and Julie sat down with Grammy award-winning musician and comment section aficionado, John Mayer. His complex mind, fearless introspection and seemingly never-ending curiosity allowed for a conversation that was equally as informative as it was thought provoking. The three discussed it all: his introduction to CBC, reasoning for wanting to express himself and the fear that can sometimes arise with doing so, meme culture, humor, creativity, sex, human nature & so much more. Towards the end, Emma and Julie had John give the directors commentary to some of his most well-known comments. The openness he maintained throughout this interview was truly unique, as the underlying level of trust and mutual respect was evident. The combination of his willingness to be reflective and vulnerable, coupled with all three of their shared appreciation for Internet culture made for quite a fascinating ride. Enjoy.
