John Mayer #12 Gravity won't bring us down...

quote:

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM PARTYING.

Okay! Here's the part where I say it: It is stunning to me that I was nominated for five Grammy(tm) awards. To see the diversity in the projects I'm involved in represented in the nominations is even greater. I can't believe the TRIO was nominated. That is my baby. Big international hug to Steve and Pino. And of course, to see Continuum be recognized is overwhelming.

Also, let me say thank you to all my fans who have shared such happiness with me over the last 24 hours. I'm really moved by how invested you all are in my career. That's what has struck me the most; that you have a personal and in some cases very emotional stake in my life, and I'm honored that you care as much as you do. I've never been more aware of what we mean to each other than right now.

But that's not exactly why I'm writing this to you now...

People, I am going out tonight. Out in ways I never did during the making of the record(s), and in ways I certainly can't when I'm on tour. I don't like partying without a really good reason. That "we're alive!" thing doesn't really work as an excuse. I hope to be alive for a long time - I'm not going to celebrate every night. But tonight is certainly different.

Tonight I will be traveling with my damageman, Elliott M. Turnbull. A damageman, for those who don't know, is a fellow, normally of British descent, who carries wads of cash and peels off bills to pay for things I broke or soiled. It's like a PR rep except Elliot works at the source, where the bad press begins. One tuck of a Grant into the bar manager's shirt and a light slap on the cheek, and it's like the whole thing never happened. Alot.

In case Elliott cannot work as fast as I can, I would like to give you a heads up as to what you may read about or see in the coming days.

Please do not become alarmed if I:

--publicly challenge Phil Collins to a fistfight. (This is a family tradition - more on this later)

--break my own expensive camera and then sue myself for every dollar I have

--freestyle rap (most of my rhymes reference all things being "fierce")

--ruminate amongst strangers as to who would win a fight between Jimmy Carter and former Mets catcher Gary Carter

--get busy in a Burger King bathroom

--become separated from my friends and begin partying with a new crowd of gents who seem nice enough, take a ride in their van to a house in Van Nuys, where I will try my hand at gay-for-pay superstardom under the name "Jonny Lobo", filming over 300 features throughout the course of a night, becoming the hottest newcomer on the scene earning 12 AVN nominations and winning seven, before eventually bottoming out with a string of sub-par performances, a brief stint in rehab and then hopping a cab ride home before sun-up. I will tell my friends I was napping in a bush.

I may also make appearances at the following Hollywood hot-spots:

Hyde
Area
Area 51
Tush
Manchu Wok
Discovery Zone
Ralph's
Sweet Dreamz
The Rag Bucket
J.P. Frenulum's

I'm going to get started with my new song "Tonight (throw down til it comes back up)" featuring Akon. I didn't ask him to guest on it, he's just going door-to-door now. Gotta run. I can hear him getting louder...

Don't say I didn't warn you. It's gonna get stupid. and yes, I have a driver. It's made out of titanium and I'll be swinging it at everything I see.

Toasting one to you.
And the award for best fans goes to....
