Happy Birthday John Mayer

John Mayer celebrates his 30th birthday today. He has shot to fame since his major-label debut, Room for Squares, was released six years ago. He's won five Grammys and two American Music Awards, but there's one honor he considers the most important -- his Dundie.

The Dundies were part of 2005 episode of the N-B-C sitcom The Office. The show's producers asked Mayer for permission to use "Your Body is a Wonderland" as a key part of a Christmas episode in 2006. Mayer at first turned them down, but then reconsidered and said he wanted a Dundie in exchange. So they had a trophy made up that named Mayer Tallest Music Dude. Mayer posted a picture of the award on his blog and called it "the only award that matters in this business."
