John Mayer took a magical trip back to his childhood when he found his feet on Sesame Street, standing next to Elmo.
"Of all the highlights in my career, I don't know of one more sentimental than getting to walk through Sesame Street," Mayer, 31, writes on his blog. "Yes, there seems to be somebody always standing right below Elmo and his friends, mouthing along to everything they're saying, but somehow I'm too filled with wonder to ever look at them. When you make contact with those big beautiful eyes, you're done. Five years old again. Life is good."
The segment was part of a primetime special "Coming Home: Military Families Cope With Change," which will air April 1 on PBS.
