John Mayer checked in with fans on his official web site’s blog on Thursday (March 27) with a posting that indicates he probably won’t be posting many messages in the future. “What I’m about to write isn’t about fame or success or celebrity or the media. That’s my business,” Mayer writes, “This is about us all. This is about a level of self consciousness so high in my generation, that it’s actually toxic.”
Mayer added, “This is about me, the guy who walks through a throng of photographers into a restaurant like he’s Paul Newman, but who leaves a ‘reject’ pile of clothes in his closet so high that his cleaning lady can’t figure out how one man can step into so many pairs of pants in a week. This is about a young guy who maintains a celebrity blog that subsists on tearing other people down but who has wrestled with a lifelong battle for acceptance as a gay man.”
