Other than being a "really old siner" .... here's Anka's abbreviated bio from Wikipedia: Anka first became famous as a teen idol in the late 1950s and 1960s with hit songs like "Diana'", "Lonely Boy", and "Put Your Head on My Shoulder". He went on to write such well known music as the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and one of Tom Jones's biggest hit, "She's A Lady", and the English lyrics for Frank Sinatra's signature song, "My Way".
So he has a strong list of accomplishments and I think it might be said that he is a well respected member of the music industry.
Perez, you should show him some of that respect. He, for God sakes, wrote the lyrics to"My Way" that in and of itself is a HUGE accomplishment and a part of the American songbook. It's a classic.
Yes, he served his time and paid the price. I believe that people deserve a second chance. His entrance back into the NFL should be closely monitored and he should be on a 2-year NFL probation. By the way, I've recently (in the last 4 years) rescued two dogs and two cats so animals are a HUGE part of my life. I just believe that he deserves this second chance after serving his time and doing his community service.
It is the perfect song for a greeting card company and great that he chose to partner with the very classy and always producing great commercials - Hallmark. IT is a touching advertisement and his song only makes it better. I quite like it and think that you are WAY OFF this time, Perez. Why not take advantage of the income and exposure this commercial is sure to provide his music. Unlike some of your other fans who have commented I do think that John Mayer is a talented musician. He may have questionable scruples when it comes to women, but he is a talented musician.
I am not usually a fan, but for some reason I liked this performance. I hope that he was NOT lip-singing/synching. as that would be a shame. I will watch the actual SNL episode on my tivo as it's hard to tell from youtube if it is live or "canned". Anyway, I thought the performance was a good one...
