The Unauthorized Blog of John Mayer

The quality of action I get from playing ‘Your Body is a Wonderland’ has drastically decreased

By John Mayer

Bio & Blog

I mean, it was like clockwork back in the day. I’d go to some club or coffee house when I was bored, whip out my guitar, strum a few of those chords, A or C# or whatever, and bam, it was a done deal. I didn’t always get a super model or anything, but she had at least done some modeling.

The last couple years though, I mean, I’m not running a charity here.

Sure, I have a famous girlfriend, Jennifer something… But you guys don’t know the thrill of blowing the mind of a small town cocktail waitress who is having trouble with her boyfriend and then getting to you know… live the song out in real life.

I’d just drop into my sultry, full bodied voice with a line like “One pair of candy lips and your bubblegum tongue,” and ba da bing. But now…

Heck, just the other day I stopped to play under this birch tree in front of the high school, and EVEN THOUGH I timed the chorus to exactly when the doors opened at 2:30, only JV cheerleaders stopped. JV! God, not one of the real cheerleaders batted an eye. I had to play a Rihanna cover to just to get invited to Sarah’s post prom party. I never agreed with the pessimists before but it’s a sad world we live in.

Anyway, I’m working on something right now, tentatively called “Kiss me Baby”…. So let’s hope that works shit out.

Bono:

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" has never worked so well as a bedtime serenade with the ladies. John, be happy with what you've got.

Thom Yorke:

"Creep" has done me solid at a few AA meetings. Many of them were women, to boot!

MJM:

Many of the AA meetings were women, or the boots? Stop being so obtuse.

Triangle with one angle >90 degrees:

And what in the hell is wrong with being obtuse?

...

What?

George W. Bush:

Two words: "Freebird"

The Shark:

It's time to write a new hit, buddy. Even pussy machines like yourself get rusty eventually.

Britney Spears:

Stop hating on John! I totally love that song! You people are just jealous because he has so much musical talent--and he's not even a former Mousketeer!

Jessica Biel:

I think the trick is to sing in falsetto. It's very comforting to the ladies.

Justin Timberlake:

Shut up and blow me already.

KarmaRocks:

How do you feel about Shawn Mullins?

John Mayer:

Hi KarmaRocks,

Shawn Mullins is a trick turner with no talents! I'm glad you stopped by my page.

PS - I think Karma Rocks, too!

Triumphantly, Jenny:

Oh Johnny, it'll always work on me, but then again, you wrote it for me like you said, right?

Larry Bird:

I prefer '80s music. Can't dribble to anything with real strings involved.

David Hasselhoff:

John the trick is to get completely sozzled off your nut on booze and prescription medication that you don't even care anymore what action you get.
Hell I got my rocks off in a whore house last night and it was great! Wait......chicken house? Ahh who cares, still great!

Bill Clinton:

John if there's anyone who knows about hooking ladies, it's me.
I mean you think landing a hot chick like Lewinsky was easy?

Jessica Simpson:

It worked on me. Sd is it would still work even though I'm with Tony.
