John Mayer, you are dead to me


We launch this kid's career. We make him a superstar. And this is how he thanks us? Doing ads for BlackBerry? Wow. Talk about having no loyalty. Thanks bro. And yeah, I know, it's just a sponsorship and you're really using your iPhone and loving it and you wouldn't use a BlackBerry in real life -- whatever. Save your breath. And don't bother calling up to tell me how my body is a wonderland, either. I've fallen for that one for the last time. I'll be honest. This hurts, John. It really does.

LOL! *Imagens that phone conversation*

John Mayer said...

But Steve, BlackBerry is a buisness phone and iPhone is for personal use.

They're not even in the same market! Please forgive me. Namaste

John said...

I really think it's Jessica's idea, not his. Young kids like him always think with the wrong organ.

he's a wanker anyway. Under the bus he goes...

Memo to FSJ: We didn't like to tell you this before, but he's really not that cool. Sorry.

He's just a fake Dave Matthews anyway, how about using the actual Dave Matthews for the release of Garage Band's next version?

Ah, Steve-o, me old flip-flop, I wanted to warn you about that softcock Mayer. He plays an acoustic guitar, fer feck's sake. Isn't exactly gonna make your ears bleed, is he? Stick with Rock Leg Ends, like me and The Edge, but of course not that whingey, whiney wrist-slitter Dylan. We can still make your average set of bollicks positively feckin' thrum to the vibe!

Get over yourself.

But the thing in the add has raised buttons with letters and stuff on them. I had a Smith Corona like that once. Couldn't make calls on it though.

Seriously, I saw him in San Antonio and thought, wtf? Worse yet, the blackberry marketing goons were handing out blue flashing LEDs.

But alas, I like John Mayer still.

FSteve, saw JM in concert last week. He was rocking a giant Apple logo on his guitar, which his TV folks zoomed in on three or four times. Of course, the TV screens were hung in front of a ginormous Blackberry banner that hung floor to ceiling behind the stage. If it makes you feel better, JM looked miserable throughout the entire gig.

P.S. The Edge is way cooler. Bono, not so much.

these ads have been online for about 3 weeks now. good job keeping up on things

FSJ -- Your blog entries are the highlight of my life, but I must say I also thoroughly enjoy the occasional comments contributed by Bono. Methinks he should have his own fbono blogsite, so the world would have something else to read after we've savored each word from fsj. Since you dudes are tight, maybe you could help him get started?

Jonathan said...

apparently bono doesn't realize that Mayer plays face-melting electric guitar solos all the time. it is a fact that he is one of the most talented guitarists in music.

wikipeepee said...

Which one is John Mayer?

Ian said...

I can't help but think of the (nearly) last scene in "The Last King of Scotland" with Forest Whitaker as Idi Amin and James McAvoy as Dr. Garrigan.

Sausage said...

Don't worry, Cheryl Crowe puts her's on vibrate and uses it as a dildo.

Ouch. Alert Moshe. Fund the op thru the usual off-shore sources.
You know.

Sensitive boys are for emogirls. Real men rock. You definitely need to hop on the jet and go thrift shopping with yer fookin mate Bono.

I'm dreaming with a broken heart, Johnny, that you'll drop the BlackBerry gig.

Launch our career, and we'll continue using Apple for life!

Steve, just send John a naked picture of yourself holding your latest hi-tech gadget to lure him back! He still luvs you... he does!

fsj, why must i keep intoning this hunterism to you? don't take any guff from these swine!!

i've had it with these namby-pamby, "i'm a singer-songwriter" bull-shizznit artistes. singer-songwriter. hoss-puckey! yer a gawdamn folk singer with some rock pretentions. you just think yer re-inventing the wheel and that "folk singer" is too old and granola-crunchy-hippie a title for you to wear. aimee mann is in, fiona apple is in, wispy liz phair is oh so in, john mayar is in, but GOD FORBID any one of them gets labeled with the monicker of folk singer, even though they're already getting enough mileage on dylan's or baez's or joni mitchell's act. well too f-ing bad, you little hipster wanna-bes. if the foo bird craps in your hair, wimp-ass dave matthews, you wear it, buddy boy.

this reminds me of a story wonderful union/leftist folk singer (and proud of it), hellion & hell-raiser once told me about something that happened to her at the grand old institution of the kerrville folk festival. anne's been attending kerrville long before it was cool. she told me she was riding up in an elevator at a hotel near the festival that held many of the workshops and where a lot of people were staying (others prefer to camp out on the grounds). she was riding up in the elevator with a bunch of these other hipster pretenders. she was trying to be a gracious elder stateswoman with them (mind you, she's invited nearly every year to play at kerrville by the organizers, she's that much beloved there), and introduces herself and asks them who they are. they mumble disaffected hipster ennui responses to her, and she, still bright and chipper, says to them, "so are you folks singers also?" they look at her and with voices dripping with contempt, say, "oh no, we're not folk singers, we're singer-songwriters."

anne, never one to mince words or suffer fools gladly, just smiles and shoots right back at them, "oh, you're not folks singers? you're singer-songwriters? well, then... get the f**k out of the kerrville folk festival then!" the elevator door opened, and she happily walked off leaving them slack-jawed.

fsj, scrape them off. stick with the classics who are unabashed and proud of what they are — the dylans, the joan baez's. leave these punk-ass wanna-bes in their self-obsessed ennui party.

Instead of him playing the end of the next MacWorld conference you should have a cage match with him.

Bet you Real Steve will still play that dumbass GreenDay tune. Him against the world. Fake Steve you are much cooler than Real Steve.

When the hell is the new iMac coming out...dammit.

John Mayer is dumb enough to probably think you're the real Steve.

I mean, he was stupid enough to sign with a major label..
