"The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when Sad tries to bite its lip and not cry and smile and go, 'No, I'm happy for you?' That's when it's really sad." -JM

i took it from wikipedia actually. ha. but, um, the source says it comes from a rolling stones interview that was podcast in december '05, on the "chin-up sad" tone of the upcoming continuum. that's such an interesting thing to say: "chin-up sad". and it certainly garnered an interesting and dead-on response.

Some old ones, but they're so fun:
John Mayer: Learning Japanese John Mayer met his first real girlfriend in high school. Shortly thereafter, he began to study Japanese... "Her mother said she should learn Japanese because it would look good on her college applications," he later recalled. "There was a magnet program in another town, and we'd get bused together. I was like, 'I love Japanese! Mom, I wanna study Japanese.' When really it's just so you can finger your girlfriend on the bus every morning!" ["People always thought that was a make-out song," Mayer once remarked of 'Wonderland,' "but it's really about loving every part of someone like they're a jungle gym. It's not just tits and ass and pussy. Sex is so utilitarian. Foreplay is like a sixty-four-count box of crayons and a couple different types of paper. Sex is like banging a Coke can with a mallet."] [Sources: Rolling Stone, Nov. 27, 2003, p. 54] |

Quote: I think the reason that I haven't had sex yet has to do with that statement alone. Banging a Coke can with a mallet. . . They call me V... which is short for. ..If I could tear my heart

Don't know if this has been posted, but I found it quite funny. This was on some overseas talk show.
The interviewer says, "Unfortunately, Ricky Muscat from idol. We had him backstage with a doctor. He was that sick, he had to leave before the end of the show." John wittily says, "I smacked him in the face with a rubber band and he couldn't take it." ![]() |

That was from ROVE Live, and Australian tv show.
John did Ricky's interview for him by googling info on him. Kinda funny. Love Shelley :)

"We had this idea on tour for a thing called 'Short Bus Dance Party' after shows," Mayer once recalled. "What we do is, we close off part of the bus, leaving a small area up front, and we cram as many people as we can into it. People just walk onto the bus... we put on a playlist from the iPod and just dance to the point where anyone looking into the bus from the outside would think there was something very strange going on. And, in fact, there is. 'Hot in Herre' by Nelly, we found, usually gets everything pretty ridiculous."
["It's fun to just watch people completely blindsided by this strange event, going, 'Oh, my God, I had no idea I would be dancing with the band!'"] [Trivia: "Connecticut's where I built the parts," Mayer once remarked, "Boston's where I assembled them, and Atlanta is where I sold them to people."] [Sources: Maxim, January 2003; imdb] |

newbie...sorry if this has been answered! | ||

Hi guys, I am just wondering if anybody knows the origin of this quote?
It is pretty funny! "I wanna be a better man. I'm trying to figure out what I can do in my life to make it so that one day when my wife tells me she hears something downstairs and she wants me to go check it out, that I don't completely wet myself as I'm going down the stairs." Thanks! |

"You're gonna look at the person next to you, and you're gonna say, not to them but yourself, 'You're not gonna be here forever, are you?'"
-From a 14-minute Wheel somewhere in the download thread. (About Nickelback) "I mean Nickelback gives ya like the four songs you want and the rest is all about bendin' people over, and pinball machines and stuff, I don't really know what they're singing about... They have those songs, the ones that go "baby I need you", they get the hit. Then track 8, you know what I mean. What's that one, he sings "I wanna be your cancer", or something, he writes crazy stuff. What was that one? Where it's just like 'What the hell are you talking about!?" |

Re: Your favorite john quotes!! | ||

Both of these are from the show when he was goin off on a rant during 'daughters' --
"Some guy who wants to pre-pay some card, and he wants to pay with travelers checks, and pesos, and rupels.... From Russia." (Just love the way he adds in 'from russia at the end) "So you write a note to yourself, and you put it in your wallet, dated six months ago, that says: Dear John, This is the John that's with her now. RUN!" -Ryan- |

Re: Your favorite john quotes!! | ||

I can definately see John going off on a rant like that during a song because he's completely ADD like that, sometimes. Does anyone happen to have that version of Daughters?

One nice comment for the day | ||

I think it's from Housing Works so it's prob in the download thread.
One quote that I wish someone had on tape is from PNC last August...the crowd was just going insane, just loving him so much. So he puts his hand on his chest and says: "You make my heart feel good, you make my heart FEEL good." It was SO cute. |
