You go, John. Go ahead and disapear into the studio and experiment for a while. Your real fans want you to make the music YOU want to make. We’ll go with you, wherever you want to take us.

I’m not out to please everybody - I’ve actually been out to try not to displease anybody, and that’s even harder work. It’s like Prozac for creativity - cutting off the highs and lows and the risks and the rewards so that nobody walks away from a show or listens to an album with a passionate…

GPOYW - (Gratuitous Picture of Yourself at Woodstock)

Standing in the exact spot Jimi Hendrix did when he played ‘The Star Spangled Banner’.

Loving those highwaters, John. You wore them at the PNC concert on 8/3 and I totally got that Victorian/sexy ankles concept. Great concert, too.

So, John Mayer is over Twitter, so he says in his Blog

Well, John, I enjoyed following your Tweets. Usually, they were a quick little bright spot in my day, eliciting a chuckle and a little upwards bounce in the flow of the day. If your serious, I’ll miss them, ceding top-spot faves status to Conan and Mindy. At the library where I work, Twitter is still very new. We are still trying to figure out how to use it to effectively promote the library to our Jersey Shore community.You actually helped me in my job by inspiring me to learn how to use Twitter so I could follow your Tweets. I followed you to tumblr. too, so for that reason I can appreciate that you’re moving on to what you feel is a fresher platform, because now I’ll learn something else new. Let’s see how it all works out.

Twitter Isn’t “Over”, I’m Over It.

Last week in Los Angeles I participated in a live Q&A as part of an ASCAP expo on songwriting. When the topic of Twitter came up, I explained my waning interest in it being part of my daily life. By no means do I think it’s over as a medium altogether, but I do think that the days of “Twitter: The Breakthrough” have passed, as has been and will continue to be the case for every online social network. It’s reached it’s cruising altitude, so to speak. Patterns and templates are emerging. The Twitter-bred syntax isn’t really doing it for me anymore.

And call me crazy, but I don’t think it’s the healthiest thing in the world to read scads of mentions/@replies and effectively open the floodgate of other people’s approval/disapproval. Finding out in 140 characters what a stranger has to say about you is like a mathematical equation without an established value of ‘x’. Who are you, stranger? What do you stand for? What do you like, and if it’s not me, then what does move you? What DO you look up to? Once I find that out, I’ll know how disappointed I should be.

This is where Tumblr comes in. It’s the future of social networking if your image of the future features intelligent discourse. I love reading other Tumblr users replies, because they’re thoughtful by virtue of the fact that if they’re not, they’ll bring the intellectual property value of their own blog down, and that’s a commodity on Tumblr.

This post is an experiment in itself. If you want to communicate with me, open a Tumblr account, follow me, repost my blog and then add to it. I’ll follow you back. Agree or disagree, lionize or demonize, but for God’s sake, be original. You’ll have all the room in the world to do it now.

Hello, hoping to figure out what tumblr is all about
