John Mayer's 'Stoned' & I'm Confused


I know that alot of our commentary on SoulBounce is filled with snark, the place where hateration and witticism meet. I am writing this post, however, out of a sincere need to understand something I have grappled with for some time now: Why do so many of us like John Mayer, again? I know he's a guitar virtuoso, has been endorsed by the our Fredrick Douglass of music, Questlove, and is a very funny, self-depricating dude, but I have just never been able to get into his music. I figure that it's better to admit to this than to act like I'm down when the pained look in my face is a dead giveaway to my discontent. So please...I'm asking you: Can someone please explain what's so great about this song "Who Says" that has all the cool, hep cats breaking out their finest corduroy blazers, ascots, and pipes? The only part I can identify with is him asking "who says I can't get stoned". I would really appreciate it because I sincerely don't understand. Thanks in advance.
