Reader Feedback on "Don't Croon at Me, John Mayer"

I loved this article. I thought I was the only person in the world who hated John Mayer with such deep passion. You put into words exactly what I feel towards him. He is pathetic and disgusting and I hope he gets diarrhea for the rest of his sorry life. Thanks you so much for writing this. God bless.

Hey, Amy. Why do I get the feeling that, really, you'd like John to fuck you brainless? Oh, wait; you already are!

I wish more people felt this much anger towards Bin Laden as you do towards this singer/guitarist. Someone posted they wanted to kill him with an ice pick... Huh? I'm I missing something? Did he do something reeeally bad, that failed to hit the news? Honestly I've only seen him a few times here and there but I have to say... He's not the Anti-Christ.

I can't even begin to thank you for your article about John Mayer. I can't stand this guy, and have yet to meet anyone who does like him. His level of suckness has surpassed anything in the history of things that suck. He's reached new plateaus of irritation and repetitive torture. If he were in front of me now, I'd rise from my chair, walk over to him and drive an icepick through his eye and into his brain, ending the suffering for us all. God I feel better!!

Hi- So I Know my response to Ms. Keyishian's diatribe is very late to say the least, but better late than never I hope. It was happen chance that led me to A.K.'s blog. Whilst trying to fall asleep in the waning hours of a predawn Monday- thoughts of John Mayer and a collection of statements he's made to the L.A. Times encroached upon the sheep I'd been counting. What stands out to me in these statements- no matter the arena- is Mayer's tendency to identify himself (not accurately) as a rock star; and furthermore, the way in which he wields this moniker. Mayer called himself, "a rock star", at court hearing in Los Angeles where he proved the dire urgency of the courts' duty in assessing whether paparazzi tactics generated a real danger stating, "the fact that this issue got a rock star (referring to himself) out of bed to be at a hearing by 8:30 a.m. shows how dangerous the paparazzi are" (L.A. Times). The next instance I read of J. Mayer mischaracterizing himself as a rock star was -I believe- in People. Here Mayer told the secret of his always fresh breath. Mayer divulged that his one crazy rockstar request in his tour contract is that he have a brand new toothbrush both in the day and the morning. Now that I've tired myself wasting sleep and thought on this megalomaniac I'm too tired to issue a clever statement on his ego. I doubt it is necessary though as Mayer's apparent id as a rock'n'rollah is a bout as laughable as his masculinity.

John Mayer is a tedious, talentless, self-indulgent hack who makes the milqutoasty Dave Matthews seem interesting by comparison. If he is so damned unhappy with the state of the world, why doesn't he get off his ass and DO something to make it better, instead of just "waiting on it to change" and boring everyone to death? Because he's lazy that's why. You can tell by his shitty songwriting. Thanks for the article. It was just what I needed.

I was in a really bad mood today. I googled "I hate John Mayer," because I absolutely do and I figured why not, I'm already pissed at everything this morning. Thank you, Amy. You saved my life and validated my every thought and feeling on this matter. The only thing you left out, though, was that he is also a generic Golum-faced wannabe Dave Mathews and his half-brother is Scott Stapp--both famous for sucking.

GOOD FOR YOU!! I cannot stand this phoney talentless John Mayer either! He goes around using famous women, have sleazy sex with them and then dump them! Jessica Simpson still has not recovered from the humiliation. Now he just dumped Jennifer Aniston after he got more media attention by being seen with her! When will these stupid women wake up to young creeps like John Mayer?

I nearly died of laughter upon reading this article! Ironically, though, I found it linked to another article (on another web site) about John Mayer admitting that he is a douche bag. I totally agree with the points Amy has made as I have never been a John Mayer fan. But, I must say that his some of his music (definitely not "...Wonderland" and "Daughters") is pretty good. He is also a great guitarist. So while I have converted to Mayerism, I still appreciate Amy's ire and find her hilarious! Come on people, it's an article. There's no need to get all butt-hurt about it. Aimee

As a fellow with the same unique sense of hatred as the author, I must say that I agree totally with the balanced and entirely fair John Mayer review. The sooner the antics of this evil little freak of nature are halted, the sooner I can get back to my regular routine of hating other singer/songwriters of the same ilk.

I've fallen victim to John's spell after many years of angst and hatred towards him. I blame it on hormones. I am not here to convert anyone to "Mayerism" as I find his legions of fans, for the most part, irritating. That being said, I am a cynic at heart, Mayer-loving or not, so I must admit I loved your article on him. It was funny and nice to see someone rip him apart for a change rather than just kiss his ass. The karmic balance of the universe has been restored.

I am guessing that this article was written in 2005, and much to my surprise I could not believe how much anger you expelled in this. Why would you spend so much time and energy on such a thing, time and life are too short. Your soul feels empty and ugly, your energy, dirty. I don't think you like anything kind or sweet or beautiful. Your wall is built so high and thick, that you have turned down sweet love many, many times just to protect yourself from being hurt. Truth is, that you long for the that very kind of love that John Mayer sings about but the sad thing is that you will never find it if you continue to hate yourself like you are pretending to hate him. It is now 11/2006 and John's 3rd studio album "Continuum" has blown all your sad judgements about him away. His is such an accomplished guitar player - playing with the likes of Buddy Guy, BB King, and Eric Clapton.( If these legendary greats "suck" to you, then your taste in the musical arts is simply disabled) "Continuum" has become plantinum. If you think that Mr. Mayer was going to slink back to Connecticut with defeat - you were wrong again. This man is about to blow the music industry away - he is simply just beginning. Funny how the first two singles off of this album don't have anything to do with women at all but instead wanting nothing more than for this world to be a better place for everyone - including YOU. Hate him all you want - it just inspires him to become a better person, a better artist. To you I dedicate the song " Heart of Life - Music by John Mayer". I end this praying for the healing of your heart and wishing you everlasting, true love. Something tells me John does too.

Amy, Well done on the John Mayer slam! You are not alone. I, and legions of intelligent people with taste, have hated him and his smarmy, gutless bullshit lure of a sugar-glazed love song that has been making us all want to puke since everyone lost all good judgement and begun playing him. You are right on target seeing through that shit. It's crap! We have all known boys like that. Oh yes, we have and we hate their guys all the more that they want to sneak up the fucking on you pretending to be a nice guy as opposed to just saying what's what. Keep up the good work. Incidentally, there is a UK band called Elkland (I know, the name in and of itself makes you wince) that is equally disgusting. I saw them live as an opening act and was rendered speechless with disgust. Be on alert.

I thought (and have often said) the exact same thing after hearing that NPR interview. He's such a shitty, shitty 'musician', and the fact that he thinks he's brilliant is just infuriating. Ugh. I have nothing but hatred for him.

How dare you feel the same way I do! I dislike Mayer because he has his own model Fender Guitar guitar that is a thousand dollar money maker copy of his original 299 guitar. "..Wonderland" is a piece of crap song, too. Pardon me but I'm just not used to anybody agreeing with me since I am a 50 year old American of Mexican descent whose maternal and paternal sides have never resided outside of either California or New Mexico for over 400 years. Yet I get asked "when did you come to this country?". I reply - go fuck yourself! Anyway I love Air America Radio and I come from Fresno and a street where Tempura met Chili Con Carne met Baklava. Now I live in Denver where shit meets crap meets cheeseburgers. Keep on hating! (it's really just discerning!) - MJP

Thank you so much! I never understood the public's obsession with John Mayer. Then I remembered that the public is dumb.

Wow! That was harsh! What has the guy done to you? He's John Mayer - you listen to his songs for a minute or two then that's it, you forget about it and move on. He seems like a nice guy, with a bit of an ego at times - but who wouldn't have an ego when he's so successful? As for "Daughters", it's a good song and it does hold some truth to it. Again, he's JOHN MAYER - why are you shock he wrote such a warm and fuzzy song about being good to your daughters - which fathers should, sometimes stuff stays with you and it can be reflected later in the way one handles future relationships. Remember, the formation of one's personality starts in the family first (or something like that from psychology 101 I remember....).

05/26

There's a book published by Grove called "Wonderland" in which... John Mayer is a dick to high school kids! True story. Anyway, sometimes I'm a dick to high school kids as well, but, fuck it-- at least I never wrote a song about "swimming in a sea of blankets."
--BV

At first I also thought John Mayer sucked. I especially hated "Your Body is a Wonderland" and the way he acted at the Grammys, like some pompous know-it-all. But that all aside, if you take time to listen to his entire album, some songs are really great. And he does have a pretty voice. And System of a Down are fun, but using them in comparison is like comparing sheryl crow to linkin park...it's not the same. You confuse me.

Okay, let's just put the quality of the music aside, because a MUCH MORE INTERESTING topic is now on the table. Hacker or not, apparently, this guy has already gotten around plenty. How is it that TWO people on feedback have direct contact with his testicles and one knows two people who have had direct contact with his testicles?!!? I mean, I know he's a local boy and all, but what are the chances?! Anybody else have carnal knowledge of John Mayer?

Yeah, I have to agree. His lyrics give me the icks.

I would like to thank you for validating my hatred of that verse. So...Thanks Christina

I have no great love for John Mayer, but first off, what the fuck are you doing driving in Manhattan? Second, system of a down? I know they're good, but by conjuring those boys up you drew some cultural lines that made it pretty damn hard to take your argument seriously. I think the thing that irks me is that I agree with the premise, and I'm pissed you couldn't come up with a better argument. That whiney little prevert has no business preaching from the pages of esquire. I've read it. It's drivel. So, for my sake, take a journalism class and lay off the editorial bent. node.

John Mayer has won Grammies, sold millions of CD's, won the rave of critics, adorned magazine covers, and had a Martin guitar named after him. He has fooled them all. John Mayer is a living example of how a good guitar player can be a lousy musician, and how someone can get so preoccupied with portraying himself as a good artist that he doesn't bother to notice that he's creating bad art. And he's not going anywhere. We've seen this phenomenon before, and it was called Sting. (The moniker says it all: the man's name is Gordon, for Christ's sake.) When I first heard that song about "running through the halls of my high school" I thought, now that's a bad song. Then came "Your Body is a Wonderland" and I thought, now that really sucks. But when I heard that fucking song "Daughters" I thought it was the worst piece of shit I'd ever heard in my life, and there's a lot of bad shit out there. I'm a psychologist. And every time I hear that postadolescent fucker preaching his cliched, oversimplified theory of human development, I want to tell you it disturbs every fiber of my being. And it's disturbing on so many levels; not only is the whole of it offensive, every single line in it is awful. From the mixed metaphors of the first verse, to the horrific chorus in which he whispers, "girls become lovers" in a way that's so deliberately sexual, as if to say, "this one's for the LADIES," to the bridge in which he declares, "On behalf of every man looking out for every girl, you are the god and the weight of her world." Does he even know what "behalf" means? Is he speaking FOR every man or TO every man? I, for one, don't authorize him to speak for me, or for that matter, to me. To describe him as arrogant doesn't even scratch the surface. Arrogance is borne of insecurity, not confidence. It's an overcompensation. John Mayer is a fucking hack, and I think some part of him knows that, which is why he feels he has to prove himself in everything he does. So we can look forward to more of his pompous bullshit, and the masses are going to eat it up because they think he's deep and intellectual, and that if they listen to him then it makes them deep and intellectual, too. Sting's fans had kids and they're John Mayer fans. I listened to that NPR interview. But I didn't want Michele Norris to pummel him with his guitar. I wanted her to let the final chord of "Daughters" ring out until there was silence in the studio and just say to him, "That... really... sucked." SOMEONE's gotta tell him.

Aw lady, As a good friend once told me, "Don't hate. Hate hurts you!" I can't say I blame your fervent dislike of Mr. Mayer. "Your Body is a Wonderland" makes my teeth hurt it's so sugary sweet. But like his writing or not, he plays guitar like a muthafucker. Seriously. He is talented. I digress. I don't really care whether you like his shit or not. It takes all kinds to make a world. What I take issue with is your insinutation that a reporter's time is more valuable than artistic inspiration. I would think, as a writer, you would have more respect for the process. It is fragile. It is fleeting. And when you are blessed enough to be hit with a deluge, you best ride the wave. Rock and Roll writers wouldn't exist with out musicians, the reverse can not be said. You don't like it? Go work for Scientific America. You don't have to dig his music, but don't be snotty about when and how he goes about making it.

I'm a little conflicted here, because I do feel JM writes some interesting pop songs, both musically and lyrically. I've heard far worse and far more self-serving songs on the airwaves/broadband. However, I don't like when artists get bigger than their art. I feel "Don't Croon at Me" makes some valid points using some raw emotions to do it. The story about the muse . . . well, I have to agree that when it hits, it hits. Reporters and most prose writers have learned that if they have to stop and wait for the muse, they could be wating into their 30s, 40s, and 50s. Poets and songwriters can try to slug away, but there are times when something comes into your head that has to get down or it goes away. The biggest observation about "Daughters" that occurs to me, is that JM has written a song that will get him laid through the next four or five generations of women or least until he's too old to do it.

Thank God you wrote that article, I can't even look at his esquire article without gagging.

And his song about wanting to fuck my daughter...people really listen to this shit?

I'm happy to say I hate this author right back. Don't know why. Might be her inability to write a single paragrapgh without padding it with lists of people and things more interesting than she is -- a set with an infinite number of members, certainly -- or perhaps it is her conviction that she's hip because she watches a lot of basic cable. Or maybe she represents one too many beautiful, privileged people that can't do anything but complain. In any event, Nerve deserves her.
--APH
05/24

Admittedly, I have never heard the guy. I will also admit that this article made me laugh. However, the fact that the author will admit to owning a System of a Down cd makes it impossible to take any musical opinions of hers seriously. It's like listening to a Mariah Carey fan make fun of Whitney Houston. Sure, one is on crack and a much more obvious and easy target, but come on...they both suck.

hmmmm....I've been a "serious" musician for 25 years---and screw you--John Mayer writes actual music---not drum machine/bad poetry that passes for music if you are really fucking stupid. Sorry Amy but (to quote a song) someone done you wrong somewhere....which is the only reason I can think of why you would or even COULD hate JM. He is a stylist---more of a jazz-headed way of thinking---credit his years at Berkelee in Boston for that--but jesus---save your spew for ludicris (aptly named), or 50 cent (who, when asked what he liked to do on a first date replied "Fuck and watch TV" Those guys suck---they hate and or objectify women, they havent EVER had an original or god help us, musical thought and they exist only to fuck, watch tv, ego stroke themselves and make mo money. Good that you identified yourself as a hater----but go hate something worth hating because this little rant of yours makes you sound silly.

Dickwipe? Wow. That's pretty funny. Anyway, I didn't *need* to look it up; I know that "Daughters" won two Grammies (one for song of the year, the other for for best male pop vocal performance) in 2005, just as "Your Body is a Wonderland" won the latter in 2002. As for the "Moby style of criticism" (of which I've never heard), EVL, I don't believe I at all insulted Ms. Keyishian, and didn't intend to include qualifiers, nor did I mean to say "[her] writing sucks because [she] may have gotten a minute factual detail incorrect." It's not bad writing at all. I certainly don't agree with it, but it adequately gets its point across. I don't feel sorry for Ms. Keyishian, just those couple of sentences made me feel bad for her; that may be because I personally choose not to have sex unless "I'm really, really feeling the chemistry with" someone. Personal choices aside, perhaps I should just note that, while I'm not a huge fan of *Heavier Things,* I enjoyed the majority of *Room for Squares*. I thought it showed solid songwriting talent, not to mention good craft (and no, I've never used it to "mack" on any girls). Mileage, of course, as always, varies. I don't love either of the songs mentioned in the essay, but I do think Mayer is talented and shows a lot of potential, and I'm interested in seeing where his career will go. Next time, Ms. Keyishian, rather than getting frustrated, hostile, and unhinged, just put on "Mezmerize" and forget about Mayer. Or at least find something worthwhile to be upset about.

Ah ha ha ha! I totally agree! When I refer to John Mayer in my house, it's always, "John Mayer, that viper."

Perfect, Amy. Just perfect. And WE, I'm not sure why you feel sorry for Amy, as she's not the one buying into Mayer's pseudo-sensitive college freshman bullshit. I have to suspect that you're simply using the Moby style of criticism, where you insult someone but include enough qualifiers to make you seem so squishy and harmless that it's barely even worth getting upset about it. Besides, your argument - "Your writing sucks because you may have gotten a minute factual detail incorrect!" - is pretty weak to begin with. Anyway, Amy Keyishian rules, John Mayer sucks.

Actually, I'd be willing to bet that he did buy the journalist a beer. And probably dinner. I'm a journalist who has to deal with asshole actors and musicians all the time, and John Mayer has definitely been one of the nicest interviews I've ever had. And doesn't every songwriter think they've wrriten something important and profoud? Except, like, Britney Spears? Isn't that kind of the point of songwriting? Not entirely sure why the fact that he is proud of his work is something that should damn him.

Hmmm. Where to begin... I'd argue the song he became famous for was "No Such Thing," and not "Your Body is a Wonderland," but I might be wrong. "Your Body is a Wonderland" more cemented his popularity/ubiquity. "Ohhh. Blech. Listen, let's just have sex, okay? Because I really only want to talk like this with someone I'm really, really feeling the chemistry with � which means that revealed in the cold light of day, blasted on every teenager's radio, the mushy-smoochy stuff makes me cringe."- this sentence made me feel bad for you. And worse, when I discovered what books you write. I can see why you keep everything separate. I believe it's the now-Grammy-award-*winning* "Daughters," but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and guess you've hated John Mayer for a long time, and this is just getting published, rather than believe you're just getting sloppy with facts and research. The true irony is that I'd lay money down that, especially given his first CD, your audience is the same as his, except his is bigger. *Heavier Things* is probably (arguably) more attractive to more mature listeners, but I'll bet thousands of teenage girls listened to his CD as they read. The main difference is probably just that he's a better person, and role model (one difference between the two being, I don't think one sets out to be the latter. But I'd hope everyone would try to be the former). Finally, I like the "bubblegum tongue" image, but to me it connotes taste and texture more than chewing, but this is just personal opinion.
