Sure it's way too early to predict such a thing. But who knows?
The similarities are quite profound:
1. Both worshipped othe musicians. Scott Walker worshipped Jacques Brel in the early days of his career; John Mayer worships Jim Hendrix.
2. Both have brown hair. Scott's hair has a goldish tint to it, while John's hair has a hint of black.
3. Both play music. Scott Walker sings. John Mayer also sings.
Sure, some might say John Mayer writes "fluffy crap for 12 year old girls". Sure, even the best of his music pales in comparison to the worst song on Scott Walker 2. And sure, odds are John Mayer will spend the later years of his life sleeping with girls who were huge fans of him when they were 12 year old girls and have since become unbelievably busty. But honestly, if anyone's going to make astounding, gut wrenching, avante garde/experimental music, I'm rooting for the guy who wrote "Your Body is a Wonderland".
Is the difference that significant?
