I am willing to bet it was a marketing ploy. I mean come on he invited people on Twitter and then "teased" them with the no videoing! As for respect goes, JM could stop treating John Q Public like a bunch of idiots with these cheesy marketing ploys. As a matter of fact, that scheana marie chick is probably a hoax as well. Don't you think she is benefiting from the attention as well? She does have a show or something coming out! And the latest chick, the "he texts me in the middle of the night" chick is an up and coming new pop artist. Hello! And the man himself has nothing better to gossip about than his "womanizing" ways. Either hate it or embrace it and me for one think Mayer is embracing the attention! How else do you stay in the limelight when you are away and making a new album? Wait for the album it will inevitably get much worse!

"People are like boxes of colors. Sometimes you meet the standard 16 count. I like to consider myself the 64 count box with the sharpener in the back. Lately I've been meeting the jumbo 8 kind. Its like your talking to someone about magenta & she says 'Oh, purple. I know that game' & you're like 'no bitch I'm talking about magenta!" ~ JM |

I am sensitive to the issue of promoting drug use in songs. I say this from experience because I am a substance abuse counselor. There are those people that can smoke a little weed now and then and lead full productive lives, then there are those that can't. Be it genetics, environment or low self esteem, they travel the road to addiction. Young children listen to Mayer music and they will take it as an endorsement that John thinks it is great to smoke pot. The brain is not fully developed until around age 21, therefore young adults make a lot of decisions without the capacity to think through the consequences. Pot is a gateway drug and SOMETIMES leads to other addictions. I have seen (many times) families that are comepletly torn apart from this disease, attended their funerals, counseled them in jail, gone into drug infested hotels to get them to rehab. All of them started with smoking a little weed. It is for this reason that I do not want John's name associated with any kind of drug use.  Tena B.... Go Big

Class Act I can see your point............But at some point we as a society have to hold the "addict" responsible and stop blaming society? And
believe me I have had ALOT of experience on this topic.

I watched the video of the new JM song and it is one of my new all time favorites. It evokes such a sweet and nostalgic tone that doesn't seem to be cluttered up by anything else. I really miss those kinds of songs and I am pretty sure this will end up being an all time favorites of mine. I agree with you 100% ..I remember when I heard "I'm Going To Find Another You," at this same venue the first time he sang it...I had the same feeling...such a clean, unfettered song. I don't think this is a throw away song. I have no idea if it will be on the album or not. But he wanted us there to hear the lyrics and maybe he wanted other people to hear them too. It is not a drug song, like Mel said, it is a song about the freedom he has lost in the last few years since the media invaded his life. It's an I can take it song..and here's my finger in your face just in case you didn't get it. I remember when this board went nuts when he first talked about the pot use years ago... and yes all of the he's changed crap we all spouted. And then I listened to him talk for the last few tours on the boat etc and it seems to me he's struggled with peoples perceptions of him.... I think this is a perfect example of just what Mel said. It's about the freedom to choose, what we as adults want to do, without the repercussions of public outcry. Do I think he put himself in this position...of course I do. But I also think he has the right to tell us all where to go and live his life exactly the way he wants to. It makes me sad to see that people only grab onto the reference of getting stoned and ignore the bigger picture...just my opinion. debbie and somegirl ...just put me on ignore it will make your life less stressful. I have every right to talk to an old friend on or off this board.  there came a moment in the middle of the song when he suddenly felt
every heartbeat in the room & after that he never forgot he was part of something much bigger...Brian Andres

you tire me wrote: All you need to do is think about the entire theme of the lyrics, what story they're trying to convey and you'll see that if you substitute the word "stoned" with "escape" you'll get the metaphor. Of course magazines are going to latch on the sensationalist part of it. They're not interested in analysis or truth. All they want to do is sell magazines or get more hits on their blogs. And you're helping if you're not trying to understand the artist's message and just accepting what they tell you instead of thinking for yourself. btw I like this song very much!

Cait - another brilliant example of your eloquence and membership in the bully club. Congrats! You must be so proud! and yet another example of you sticking your 2 cents in where it isn't needed. These two have always talked to each other like this, it's there way of communicating. and since neither one of them directed anything toward you??? debbie there came a moment in the middle of the song when he suddenly felt
