Video: John Mayer - "Queen of California" (Acoustic In-Studio)

Prior to complications with his throat granuloma, John Mayer recorded an in-studio video of himself performing Born and Raised's opener "Queen of California" acoustically. Watching Mayer breeze through this front porch-ready alternate arrangement--sounding almost like a completely different song than the album version--serves as a pointed reminder that the guy's got immense talent hiding behind his occasional asshole tendencies, which according to the latest issue of Rolling Stone are firmly cemented in the past. Born and Raised is in stores now, so go get at it.
