So I have this theory that preeeeeetty soon, John Mayer will be the younger, slightly saner, musical Tom Cruise… minus the Scientology.

I love the dude, but he’s going a bit nutso at the moment. He’s always been a bit of a showman, a comedian, writer, performer, muso. And now it’s all going full throttle with his celeb status. See the new tattoo? Crazy Japanese style sleeve over his left arm incorporating his old tatts. Fair enough, technically a nice tatt. But JOHN MAYER doesn’t get sleeve tatts! It’s John Mayer! (I still love the three boxes on his right arm, one of my fave concepts ever for tattooage). Plus there’s a new faux-hawk. I’m not diggin’ this new “cool” style. And the Jennifer Aniston thing (well, I don’t really have too much of an opinion on that), but the dude seems to have too much time on his hand.

Go make that new album already!

(update: looking for computer bags I stumbled onto this, from JM’s recent holiday through Nippon. I think it’s funny as a JM fan, that I am more jealous that he is friends with incase, rather than the other way…)
