John Mayer Erases His Blog: "Done & Dusted & Self-Conscious"

Grammy-winning singer/songwriter John Mayer has dropped "blogger" from his list of hobbies. He had taken to posting musings on ex-girlfriends and the importance of designated drivers and the MacBook Air, but no more.

Where his personal blog once existed is now the message (see below) reading "Done & Dusted & Self-Conscious & Back to Work." His archives have been erased. In smaller print is a quote from Prussian military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz: "There is danger in theoretical speculation of battle, in prejudice, in false reasoning, in pride, in braggadocio. There is one safe resource, the return to nature."

Interestingly, Mayer linked the "n" in "speculation" to a time travel forum with the topic title of "Positive, Negative and O Vortexes".

Just last week Mayer defended ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson on the blog against the tidal wave of criticism she received for now-boyfriend Tony Romo's poor NFL performance.

I've dealt with Mayer. Went the extra mile to sell him a vintage Stratocaster that he BEGGED me for. Called me at home. At night.
I sold him the guitar, and asked to see his show next time he came to New York to play. Not to meet him or socialize.­..just wanted to take my girlfriend to see the show.
He never called me back or returned an e-mail.

If you can't keep a promise, don't make it.

And Clapton is crazy for letting this guy try and show him up onstage. Jeff Beck wouldn't let a wannabe like Mayer try and cut him like that.

I wonder if John Mayer knows that his candidate for president, Ron Paul, has as a band at some rallies "Pokerface", who shill prominently for Paul on their website. They are a hate group; raging Holocaust deniers and heinous anti-Semit­es...

I'll bet my truck that none of you people can play music, let alone something that would be recorded by a major producer.
Jealous, jealous, jealous little boys who resent someone who is talented, articulate and reads real books.
RIP, losers.

Back to nature my man...ther­e are plenty of old growth trees to make guitars from in "nature". Maple necks, rosewood finger boards, spruce tops, sides and backs. Start a'cuttin John.

I'd call John's earlier work "folk" not pop. Blame the record company for packaging him and for trying to make a few bucks. John's a great artist and I like his folk period as well as his blues period. Artists are supposed to evolve, Clapton did.

Is my body still a wonderland? Mayer is such a middle of the road performer. It's probably too much for me to hope for his early retirement­...

Now, if only he would stop making music in self-conscious fit I could sleep peacefully.

Agreed, his past stuff is "music for housewives" but Buddy Guy called this kid the truth, and when Buddy speaks, I listen. And the kid can play, there's no doubt about that. But do I dig the body is a wonderland stuff?? No sir. That's not for me. No, no, no. Your body is a...I'm gonna change the damn dial!

I was never a huge JM fan…but his latest album was outstanding…hope he is working on another of equal quality.

[LeftVetPatriot]

Attabouy!

Head on straight.

His back catalogue is music for housewives. I doubt he's the next Clapton, but hey one never knows...

Cloud Cuckoo Land. Safe landing, John. Peaceout.

[Teleken]

I think he is losing it. Good guitar player though if he stays away from pop-crap. Like a lot of artists he prolly has his loonie side.

BUI?
