John Mayer’s Music, ’80s Hair, Blog Must Be Stopped!

Published May 9th, 2008 by Karen

Ok, we’ve let this go on for far too long—John Mayer must be stopped!

Seriously, could we ship this guy off to some remote Antarctic region where he will be cut-off from over-eager paparazzi and internet access for his own nonsensical blogging?

In recent months, the adult contemporary singer/guitarist (read: more boring than Matchbox 20) has become a media darling thanks to a string of romances with the likes of Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly and, now, apparently, Jennifer Aniston.

That’s fine and dandy, but we prefer to know as little as possible about the author of “Your Body is a Wonderland” (aka one of the most annoying songs ever written. EVER).

Making matters worse, Mayer has taken up residence in the blog world, using his personal page as a forum to discuss such important topics as why ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson isn’t as dumb as everyone thinks she is (um, yeah right), and, most recently, his valiant attempt to fulfill his lifelong ambition of having perfectly feathered ‘80s hair a la Michael J. Fox circa Back to the Future. He even encouraged readers to submit poetry about his new retro hair-do.

We thought his music was bad, but it turns out this guy’s blander-than-bland personality may be even worse than his sickeningly sweet ballads (check out the “Daughters” video, if you dare).

Honestly, if the most noteworthy thing about your career is that you just got a silly haircut, maybe you’re doing something wrong? Regardless, this guy is all over TV and magazines, so somebody must be interested in him, we guess…But we’re tired of hearing about him!

So, in addition to making the guitar seem utterly lame, Mayer poised to ignite a trend almost as horrible Rob Thomas albums and faux hawks.

Incidentally, his latest gal pal, Jennifer Aniston, the former Mrs. Brad Pitt, was once renowned for her trendy hair-style, the Friends-era “Rachel” hair-do. She might be able to offer grooming advice, now let’s hope hooks up with someone to offer him musical guidance as well.

What Do You Think?

Is John Mayer cool, or a complete dork?
