John Mayer Gets Me (and Meg)

Meg and I have recently developed an infatuation with John Mayer. Yes, I know we’re a little late to jump on that bandwagon but we’re not spring chickens. It’s much easier to get infatuated with a musician while in college, 1) you’re probably drunk and 2) you have access to super cheap and frequent shows.

I don’t recall how exactly we stumbled upon our new semi-obsession but I think it began with the Dave Chappelle skit. Then http://www.perezhilton.com/ drove us to John’s website, forcing the realization (through reading his blog,http://www.johnmayer.com/blog ) that JM is pretty funny. And, although we don’t know him personally and most dudes lack this attribute, he appears to be a normal guy (with mad talent).

Step one of the obsession: listening to as much JM as we possibly can. This only fueled our adoration of the guy, has anyone heard Come Back to Bed?

Still is the life
Of your room when you're not inside
And all of your things
Tell the sweetest storyline
Your tears on these sheets
And your footsteps are down the hall
Tell me what I didI can't find where the moment when wrong at all

You can be mad in the morning
I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here
It's cold, baby
Come back to bed

Okay, John. Sheesh. Of course I’ll come back to bed. I mean, you’ll take back what you said. I’ll be mad in the morning.

Or how about this gem from Your Body is a Wonderland?

Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

You want love?
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

That guy. Never lets my head hit the bed without his hand behind it.
But really. Could JM get it more? (“it” meaning Meg and me. And probably scores of other women). With lyrics like this John could look like Sloth from the Goonies. How is he channeling all this wisdom? Has he made a deal with the Devil? Is he even human? Does he have normal parents?

Step two of the obsession, looking for John on YouTube.com. Initially this began with the search for the Chapelle show skit but we’ve unearthed a plethora of John footage. Apparently he had some skits on VH1 a few years ago called John Mayer has a TV Show. Check out this gem:



And how about this:



You have to be shittin’ me, the dude is freaking hilarious too? How is it that he can read my mind so well AND be side-splitting funny? At this point I’m pretty convinced he’s an android sent from the future to mess with women’s heads.

Anyway, I’m sure JM is as a great guy in person as he is on video/paper. I mean, he requested a cum drop on his lip on Perez’s site (http://perezhilton.com/topics/john_mayer/theres_something_in_the_gravity_20070102.php) because he gets it.

AND, more importantly he gets us.

What’s that? I look so good it hurts sometimes? Aww…that guy….
