Meet John Mayer…He Blog
John Mayer has one of the most genuine blogs I have ever seen from an artist or any public figure. Most celebrity blogs are packed with promotional stuff. I can definitely picture some L.A. PR geek going through draft#5 of Jessica Simpson’s, “my top 10 favorite t-shirts” post. John’s blog is different. Authentic. His voice is clear, passionate and honest. His love for music is clearly expressed and readers get a sense of his personality upon reading his post. He talks about songs he’s currently listening to, like Justin Timberlake’s “lovestoned”, which he likes mostly for the last 45 seconds of JT’s kickass vocals. I agree with you on that one JM…Moving. He also has a funny ass parody of the disturbing 2girls1cup video (do not Google this). He calls it 2guys1cup and he shoots it in a pinkberry ice cream shop. I wonder if it’s the one in Chelsea, NYC.
Anyway, John Mayer, your music rocks and I like you even more (if that’s even possible) now that you’ve embraced social media and done it right by creating an authentic blog and letting us take a peak into your personality. I feel like I’ve gotten to know you a little better man. Oh, and if you actually happen to have a PR person writing this for you, she deserves a raise.
Oh snap! There is even a “contact John” link with his email. I’m going to write him a little something something. I’ll post the reply.
Some criticism…Because I am an opinionated punk after all. Johnmayer.com/blog is so blah. I would have rather seen something more authentic-make the blog less about your brand and more about your thoughts and connecting with your listeners.
