We're joined today by Jim Vendiola: filmmaker, music connoisseur, and – as a former Floridian – refugee from the Margaritaville compound. 

This episode's theme isn't about scorn, mockery, cruelty, or any other hallmark aspects of John Mayer's personality – it's about healing. We're staging an intervention for fans of four widely-derided musicians, offering alternatives to these artists that we hope will either open doors to new discoveries, or at least supplement your midnight cry-sessions to the DMB's "Crash Into Me."

On this episode, we attempt to reform fans of:

(1) Nickelback
(2) Dave Matthews Band
(3) John Mayer
(4) Jimmy Buffet
