A place for the mind-numbing thoughts that run through my head

That's enough John Mayer


Granted, I own one of his CD's, but I think John Mayer needs to be stopped. And just like Chris Griffin said, "That's Enough, John Mayer"

An excerpt from his new interview in Elle:

JOHN MAYER insists that he isn't taken seriously in the music world because he is too good looking, much like legendary rocker JIMI HENDRIX. The YOU'RE BODY IS A WONDERLAND singer believes his predominantly female fan base automatically turns potential male fans off. He explains, "I would love it if my fans were women and men, 50/50. I'd even
settle for 60/40. "Think of Jimi Hendrix. He was huge with women. It's part of the reason he never really got accepted into the black community. It's the same with me! "It's the reason I haven't been accepted fully into the musical super-credibility community - the second they see throngs of young women screaming your name, it says, 'You're out, you're out, you're out!'"

No one who used to diddle Jennifer Love Hewitt or writes songs talking mostly comprised of metaphors for diddling women (your body buzzes just like neon, etc...) should EVER complain that their female fan base turns off any possible men from listening. you're actively courting the female gender--you have no songs like, "i love to watch football and get drunk" and until you do, don't expect the men to come running. And on another note to future emo acoustic rockers: Don't compare yourself to Jimi Hendrix, it doesn't make you look cool. But playing a guitar will DEFINITELY help you score chicks--which is why John Mayer probably picked one up in the first place.
