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

Panic! at Wall Street

WOW!

John Mayer here.

What a fucked up week for anyone that plays high stakes Lotto, formerly known as Wall Street. Now we've all been watching the news very closely and the Market is in shambles. There's a whole bunch of information being thrown at you and you're left wondering, "what the hell does this all mean?"

Well I hate to be the barer of bad news; it means everyone that told their kids to stop "wasting their lives playing their garage band" and to "go to school and get a good job and learn business" was full of shit. I mean in my pre-RockGod days I was told the same thing. "John, stay in college. Learn a skill like business management. Math, numbers, charts, stop using a Mac. When are you going to grow up and use Windows."

Please. Could you even try to picture JM working a cubicle? Blasphemy!

I'm a true rebel. I didn't "play it safe," I played the friggin' guitar. They said go to school and I said I was done with all the bullshit teachers who couldn't cut it chasing their dreams. Everyone looked to Wall Street as the epitomy of a "safe job" a "chance of making a decent life" for themselves and their families. They flocked to their Ivy League Schools and their stiff suit halls of American Corporation... now they can all flock to the unemployment line.

Rock on you rebels. Those that chased the dream, keep running and piss on all the pencil pushers and their punch-clock promise.

Peace Out!
