any second now...

Why won't he play it here in Southern California? Why?

I read somewhere that he almost played it...it was on the setlist and everything. But he backed out at the last minute. Apparently, it was too much for him.

It's beautiful...and I know what place in his heart that must have come from, because I know that feeling all too well. It's so poigniant that it literally ripped me apart when I read the lyrics after hearing it live for the first time in August 2002.

I have never heard it live again since then.

Have you ever gone somewhere you didn't want to go, but secretly really wanted to because that person was there? Have you ever hoped you wouldn't run into someone, but died a little inside when you didn't? Have you ever driven somewhere and remembered, "That's where we used to go all the time..."? Have you ever wondered, "What happened to us?"?

Here is your song...

In Your Atmosphere - John Mayer

I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I don't know what it's like to land
And not race to your door
I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore

I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I'm not sure that I really ever could
Hold on to the hotel key
of your bedroom neighborhood
We sleep walk in Hollywood

I'm gonna steer clear
Burn up in your atmosphere
I'm gonna steer clear
Cus I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you there
So I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore

I dont think I'm gonna go there anymore
I get lost on the boulevard at nite
Without your voice to tell me I love you, take a ride
Dinner for two is a lonely sight

I'm gonna steer clear
Burn up in your atmosphere
I'm gonna steer clear
Cus I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you

I'm gonna steer clear
Burn up in your atmosphere
I'm gonna steer clear
Cus I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you there

I think I'm gonna stay
All the street lights say nevermind
All the canyon lines say nevermind
Sunset since we see it all the time, nevermind
