RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Actually, pick on Ms. Swift if you so desire, it's a free country, and she blew it at the Grammy's, but I like her last record. And no, I'm not secretly a fifteen year old girl, really, despite Gus's wife's suspicions...

Anyway, there's an interesting analysis of her Grammy performance disaster and some reactions on NPR.

(Ms. Swift, I ask only that, if you're really dating John Mayer, you break up with him. You're way too good for that loser.)

AWH..That's soo sweet how you defend her so valiantly RA. Good on ya!

My daughters got Ms. Swift's latest magnum opus for Christmas.

Now that she's blown up big, I'm wondering how long it will be until she gets hooked on Xanax, shaves her head, and joins the Church of Scientology?


message 5: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I think she's due for a Maxim appearance and sex tape first.

(I hope not, though. She seems nice, and if my sons were to date girls like her in a couple years, I would not protest. And thanks, WA.:)


message 6: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 4034 comments I hope not too. My daughter idolizes her. sigh.


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

I think that if she gets a good support group around her, she can avoid most of the pitfalls. The secret is in knowing who to trust.


message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

RA, if my wife suspected you were a 15-year-old girl, she'd murder me on the spot.

Are people really picking on her? That's just envy, I think. Taylor's a nice young lady, has a lovely voice, and she's still youthful enough where she's not taking herself so seriously or her success for granted. I do hope she succeeds.

But I wouldn't be surprised to see her in Maxim in a couple of years. It's inevitable.

Youndyc | 1255 comments God, please tell me that girl is not dating John Mayer. I love his music, have all of it, but he reminds me of the cavemen in this article:

http://weeklystandard.com/print/artic...

Very long article, folks. Rough summary: There are a lot of guys out there just trolling for sex, and there are a lot of girls out there letting them. Many of these guys are assholes. And, in sum, the author thinks that women so secretly long for "dominant males" (presumably of the asshole variety) that they seek out this behavior in their 20s and, later, on the side. This is admittedly not an entirely fair summary of the article, but should get you started.

As for Taylor Swift, she's catchy and has good lyrical quality, but her live performances are, in a word, sucky. One nice exception: SNL - her performances there were really quite decent.

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I hate John Mayer. Ladies, explain him to me.


Ok, I read some of that article, Mary...interesting.

I also looked up the "My husband is annoying" blog she mentions:

http://myhusbandisannoying.com

The guy vacuuming his lawn made me laugh.

smetchie | 4034 comments I hate John Mayer. He's pasty and puffy. (My husband likes him, though.)

Cambridge (hsquare) | 509 comments hello i'm new here but i gotta say (although my opinion of Taylor is is neither here nor there) i gag at the thought John Mayer deflowering ms. Swift.....GUH! WHAT A MAN WHORE ;) Just one opinion :)

Cambridge (hsquare) | 509 comments Thanks Jim, you guys are a hoot! and btw the answer to your other ?, i tend to use expletives sprinkled regularly throughout daily conversation ALL THE TIME (*shameful i know*).........

Heather (heatherjoy) | 384 comments Well, I don't like John Mayer's music, he is an okay guitar player, nothing spectacular, but I do understand his sex appeal. He is bad, yet thoughtful, not that he would allow women to be privy to said thoughtfulness, but you know its there. So basically women like John Mayer for the same reason people strive to climb Mt. Everest, to tame the beast.

Also, have you watched John Mayer sing? Anyone who has seen what that man does to the microphone has to wonder what he can do to other things, and I will just leave it at that.

Oh, ew. I think he is a googly eyed muppet. Not attracted in the least.

He's a decent guitarist. That's all I'll give him.


message 21: by Vanessa (new)

Vanessa (buckythecat) John Mayer the db eclipses John Mayer the musician, as far as I'm concerned. I do not celebrate his entire collection.

I hate what he does to a microphone. In fact, that's the very first thing I hated about him. It started many years ago, my distaste for John Mayer.




Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Okay, I now hate John Mayer, too. When I bother to think about him. Which I don't.

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments "My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a fuckin' David Duke cock. I'm going to start dating separately from my dick."

Was he sober when he said this? Because this sounds like something one of your friends says at 4AM after barfing in your car, and you say, the next day, "Dude, do you remember talking about David Duke and Benetton or something last night in the car?" and he says, "Man, I don't remember anything, I was so wasted."

My impression is that he just loves the sound of his own voice, and he thinks everything out of his mouth is gold, like a drunk philosophy student. He tweets constantly, so he constantly has to come up with new things to say, regardless of their merit. He also fancies himself a standup comedian, but I have heard his comedy is AWFUL.



message 29: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments he is a tool. i never liked him before mostly because i do not like being told who to like and everyone was bowing to him like they do to dave matthews and going on and on about him. like sarah pi, i do think he can play the guitar but his goofy self importance style songs and overall oddness make me roll my eyes (not will & grace style, just reg style). anyway, after reading the recent rolling stone article on him i totally think he is nearing the upper echelon stage of celebrity weirdness. talk about out there. i have no doubt that he will soon buy a chimp, the penis of napoleon and a hyperbaric oxygen chamber


message 30: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments Off topic: Sally's Huffington Post link led me to this, which is hilarious.

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments dude, i would be suspended for life if saying that was a crime. LOLOLOL. that is a shame. sorry dalten. your humor is appreciated here

I'm guessing he makes sweet loooooooove to it."


NO! there's nothing sweet about it. The first time I saw him sing was at a concert. (he was opening for Counting Crows or someone. I did NOT go see him on purpose.) He does all these weird faces and sticks out his tongue a lot while he's singing. I think a stylist got a hold of him and made him stop doing the stupid tongue thing because I haven't seen it lately. But the facial tics are still there. It's quite awful to watch. I tell my husband that if they would film him from the neck down I could possibly stand to watch but as long as they keep including his head he'll have to watch when I'm out of the room.

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Re: 34. Oh my. Oh my. That is awesome. I am sending that to a couple friends right now. Hurts to laugh that hard. Hurts. Too early in the office.


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

It may have been worthy of a really cross look, but detention seems harsh.

Sally probably would have suspended him.



message 35: by [deleted user] (new)

John Mayer seems like the kind of guy who's so oversexed he probably tries to give himself head - apologies for the mental picture.


message 36: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 4034 comments great.


message 37: by Cambridge (new)

Cambridge (hsquare) | 509 comments Wow, skipped out for a few and come back to comment #39 and glad it's afternoon NOON, i need a drink after that one hah hah.

By the by, I totally agree.


message 38: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments I'm sure if you wait long enough, I'm sure he'll tweet about it too.


message 39: by Cambridge (new)

Cambridge (hsquare) | 509 comments HAH you are sooooo correct! ^^^ ANOTHER GREAT REASON I DON'T TWIT, TWEET OR TW*T ;)
