John Mayer = Raymond Chandler???

How does John Mayer connect to mystery books.  Does a song ever put you in mind of a book or a favorite character?  Free Falling and In Your Atmosphere have this effect with Raymond Chandler's - Philip Marlowe books.  (And the vampires move west down Ventura Blvd...  Ok, that's Anne Rice ;-)

Mission to Paris by Alan Furst

This book starts out well, but then turns into a common work of fiction.  The story line is Paris pre-WW2.  There's a movie actor making a picture, Apres la Guerre, there are girls, and there is war.  Predictable if nothing else; but the book is readable.  You could set this book to a Kat Edmonson CD; only I liked the CD better.  Sorry Mr. Furst.
