North Shore Haleiwa, HI. (AP) – Popular pop singer-songwriter Jack Johnson (born May 18, 1975) was killed in Hawaii late Wednesday evening. The singer was diving off the coast of Kiminahaha near Hawaii’s famous North Shore when he was attacked and eaten by a great white shark.

Friends said it appeared the singer was killed instantly as they saw his head floating nearby. Apparently no effort has been made to retrieve the head.

Johnson gained notoriety amongst gay males early in 2002 for his laid back guitar drivin music and feminine swagger. He was also known for frequenting many many bath houses in the San Francisco area.

Johnson was 34.

John Mayer played a fantastic show at the Erwin Center on March 8, 2010. I was fortunate enough to have 7th row tickets. This was my third time seeing a Mayer show and I’d say this was probably the best. The show seemed short but clocked in at about an hour and a half. He played many of the songs off of the new Battle Studies Album but through in some favorites from the past.

The set was incredible. A very nice laser light/projection show behind the band provided some interesting effects as well as some video footage. The PA was loud but clear and clean. Unlike much of the video footage I’ve seen on YouTube, he didn’t do a lot of talking but there was some good banter. Highlights of the show were definitely “Assassin” and a great rendition of “Aint No Sunshine”. Legendary drummer Steve Jordan also pounded out a memorable and masterful solo.

The Weary Kind – cover by Tom Meny

Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind

You called all your shots
Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop
Somehow this don’t feel like home anymore

And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your body aches…
Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same

Whiskey has been a thorn in your side
and it doesn’t forget
the highway that calls for your heart inside

And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your lovers won’t kiss…
It’s too damn far from your fingertips
You are the man that ruined her world

Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
