Bastard

Mayer0307.jpgBastard: (Noun) An unpleasant or despicable person.

Not content with being just a garden variety douchebag -- John Mayer has proven that he's an immature bastard as well, by anonymously putting down an ex-girlfriend on his blog.

Dear Ex Lover,

Perhaps you didn't understand the last time I told you to stop contacting me, so I'll do my best to spell it out for you. I do not wish to have you in my life anymore. I don't know how much more clear I can be about it. It would serve you best to move on with your life and find someone who can put up with you, because I'm done trying. I hope this is enough closure for you.

Goodbye.

P.S. If you need me, you know how to find me.

I don't know John, that might not be clear enough. If you're going to break up with someone like a 14 year old, no point in half-assing it. Maybe it would help if you punctuated it with deleting her from your myspace and then making your profile picture a photo of the two of you with her cropped out. That'll teach her!

No it won't. That doesn't teach them anything. :(

I'm confused by the "P.S. If you need me, you know how to find me" part. He doesn't want her to talk to him... but he does?

Apparently it was a lyrical experiment of sorts, using some "technique" in which the last line contradicts all that precedes it, causing a collective "OMG!" and "WTF!" Clever clever.

It is a exercise in lyric writing. I went to the same lyric writing teacher not long ago. The last line about finding him if you need him, is about being so decisive in the decision, but still keeping contact going. Love is messy and keeps you in it longer than you would like.

I think he did a great job technically speaking and more should learn the craft they pretend to know.
