Update

Hey guys, FJM again.

Just wanted to give you all the heads up: Be sure to check out my duet with BB King at the Grammy's Nomination Concert. As you can image we're the only thing worth watching so just be sure to flip over to see if we're on. It'll be on CBS so check your local listings.

Peace Out...

P.S. Yeah, we're sooo gonna f-in' rock!

Pistol Plax

Hey guys! John Mayer here.

As a fan of American Football, I ceremoniously make sure that the console of 50-inchers are tuned to the various games going on around the country every Sunday. The Mayer Pad is the place to be on Sundays and I won't apologize for it. 

I hold nothing but the highest respect for these modern day gladiators that risk health and well-being for the entertainment of us all. That being said, every now and again one of these guys make such an asshole move that we just have to ask the question: why?

In the time honored tradition of sports heros doing spectacularly stupid things, Plaxico Burress of the New York Giants shot himself in the leg in the early hours of Saturday morning while at LQ (formerly Latin Quarters).

It's amazing to see someone so eager to throw everything away. It's even more so amazing when we really didn't even see this one coming. Team mate, Antonio Pierce, didn't even know that Plax owned a gun!?! I'll be frank, I don't think Plax is a bad guy or even that this is something coming to him; but he's making it very difficult for himself to 1. remain a professional football player, 2. keep his freedom. (New York State has one of the toughest gun laws - 3 1/2 year mandatory prison sentence for any one convicted of illegal possession of a handgun.)

As a fellow celeb with a cult-like following, it's hard being in the public eye all the time. I understand the pressures of having to always be "on." Plax let's get it together so we can all move pass this.

Peace Out!

Black Friday Massacre

John Mayer here.

It's with a heavy heart and absolute disgust that I report to you that nothing brings out the worst in people like holiday shopping. This year the Black Friday "holiday" saw the death of one Wal-Mart employee in Valley Stream, NY and a shooting that left 2 dead in a Toys R Us in Palm Desert, CA.

What the fuck!!!

Really?

Is your crap really worth all this? Because after gorging oneself with a 50 ton turkey, human instinct is to immediately go out and do some killin'.

The persons responsible in the trampling death and the shooting deaths should be held accountable to every extent of the law; more importantly the companies that held the "door-buster events" should also be charged for negligent homicide as they did nothing to keep order in what was an already chaotic day.

Goddamn.

Happy Thanksgiving.

And big fake shout-out to Rick Astley.

Happy Thanksgiving... "I LIKE RICK ROLLING!!!"

Economic Depression Survival Kit

Hey Guys! John Mayer here.

I'm back from a much needed hiatus. It was hard being one of the many forces of change that stepped up and did their civic duty in this country.

Now we all have to sit back and keep an eye on the state of this country before it becomes official.

As we've all seen it's extremely difficult not to know where we are in terms of our economy. And every time we think it's safe to come out; there's news that G W Bush is writing another blank check to a Wall Street vampire. Just last week, AIG asked for another 20 Billion (yes with a "B"); the number of home owners who've gotten a pass on foreclosure: 0 (yes, with a "Z").

Scary and uncertain times indeed.

It's not in my nature to endorse non-paying products (like the Blackberry Bold w/ AT&T or the Blackberry Storm w/ Verizon), but I think I'll make an exception this once. Giz posted a recent auction of a 19th century Vampire Hunter kit. Although it's not its intended use; nowadays you can use it to slay high interest loan officers, foreclosure agents, the repo-man, etc.

And if you can't drop $14,000 on an authentic one, just follow the item list for an easy do-it-yourself kit.

Peace Out,

FJM

Yes We Can! Si Se Puede! We Did It!

I am beyond ecstatic! At the risk of slipping in and out of character... THIS IS A VICTORY FOR ALL AMERICANS.

I mean what more can really be said this is the most important election folks were a part of. Our actions speak volumes of what we are all looking for in our country.

To my overseas friends; we, Americans, are ready to lead the world (finally) by example.

Now let's get it done.

Mr President Elect....

YOU FUCKIN' ROCK!

Peace Out,

FJM

This past election has given us a new John Q. Public. His name Joe Six-Pack. My friends, let's give Joe the send off he deserves.

Peace Out,

We're getting closer

Hey guys!

We're fast approaching D-day. A chance for all Americans to show the world (and hopefully by large numbers) that we're tired of the same shit. We no longer want to live in fear, no longer want to be the ONLY developed nation that tells their citizens, "fuck you if you need health care."

It's time for a change.

So everyone, call a friend. Tell them to call a friend. If you're in a city, town, community where public transportation is non existent and you own a car; drive folks who have hardship getting to their polling place. It's time for the citizens of this country to take back the democratic process.

Peace Out!
