Earlier this week, musician/singer/heartthrob John Mayer performed his first concert in nearly two years, following two surgeries to repair damage to his vocal chords. While it’s easy to write John off … his music is dreadful and he seems like a cocky asshole who probably smells … this concert was a fundraiser, that he helped to organize, benefiting firefighters in Montana who fought a devastating wildfire in August of last year.

John was involved because he owns a home close to the more than 8,500 acres of destroyed land. The concert raised more than $100,000, and it is quite charming that he made his return to the stage to benefit a good cause and for such a comparatively modest crowd. And despite warning the audience that he wasn’t fully recovered, his voice sounded alright.
