After four-year hiatus, John Mayer is back

Before we had Ed Sheeran’s acoustics, James Bay’s raspy vocals or Shawn Mendes’ catchy lyrics, we had the smooth guitar stylings of John Mayer. With tunes like “Your Body is a Wonderland” and “Waiting on the World to Change,” girls around the world swooned and sighed as Mayer picked his guitar with an effortless presence.

Drinking Game: ‘The Bachelor’

What a ride we are on for this season with Bachelor Nick Viall. What started out with some very dull episodes, minus, of course, villain Corinne Olympios and her nanny Raquel, has suddenly picked up speed in the last few weeks. Nick, on his fourth appearance with the franchise, is desperate to find love and, yet, kicks off any girl who professes her love for him. He spends a lot of time crying, and I spend a lot of time wondering if this 36-year-old aspiring model is actually a catch. Now that we’re down to the final four and already know Rachel Lindsay is our next Bachelorette, you may need a few drinks to get you through the remaining episodes, so here’s the drinking game you’ve been waiting for all season long.
