Mayer's Manners

Wow. John Mayer's latest blog entry. I kind of...does this...sort of make John Mayer a little bit of a stand up guy? I'm just asking...and p.s., I totally sent a tip to Perez Hilton.

DON'T EX WITH TEXAS

Dear Dallas and Surrounding Areas,

This isn't a sports blog, and it isn't a publicity stunt. (but have at me if it feels right.)

This is about doing what I think is right as a person, in this case speaking my mind.

I have never known anyone to have more pride in their home state and their upbringing in it than Jessica Simpson has in Texas. I don't really follow sports, but I have played some of my biggest and best concerts in your state, and having witnessed how dynamic the spirit there is, I'm betting emotions are running high right about now.

All witty barbs, blogs, and fashion policing aside, that girl loves Texas more than you know. It's one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don't try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn't be able to, but it's less work for all involved.)

I just thought it would mean something coming from the guy who has the absolute least to gain from this. And if I'm out of line in having written it, too bad. I can spare a Wednesday's worth of bad press if it means sticking up for a good soul.

JM

I have no idea who either of them are, but it's still kind of sweet.

Kim said...

Wow, I kind of want to hug him now! But I'm afraid he'll get some of his Marc Anthony on me...

But still, so sweet!

ashley said...

I know? I mean, kind of...makes me hate that they dated less?

And Kim, don't go huggin' my man. ;)

I'm not sure I get the reason behind this -- is there some recent JS press I don't know about? (Probably. I live in a bubble.) It's sweet, but I'm still icked out that they were together. Yack.

Well, JS is now dating the Dallas Cowboy's Tony Romo. Her first attendance at a game, Romo played statistically the worst game he's ever played. And then they lost to the Giants in a big game. So folks are blaming Simpson, because, you know, they need someone to scapegoat.

And I hear you. Still not thrilled with the pairing, but this is too chivalrous to be ignored, right?
