Pro  4339    Husker Nation |  Subject: John Mayer - take your own advice!Take all of your wasted honor Every little past frustration Take all of your so-called problems Better put them in quotations Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Walking like a one man army Fighting with the shadows in your head Living out the same old moment Knowing you’d be better off instead If you could only Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Have no fear for giving in Have no fear for giving over You better know that in the end It’s better to say too much Than never to say what you need to say again Even if your hands are shaking And your faith is broken Even as the eyes are closing Do it with a heart wide open Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say That's right, "Say what you need to say" repeated 20 TIMES at the end of the song. That is more ironic than a shark sighting at Shark Island, rain on your wedding day, and a post on celibacy during RIOW in COJ, all put together! |

Champion 6285 Beautiful Sonoma County | Subject: RE: John Mayer - take your own advice! I can't say that that song annoys me because I've only heard a very short part of it. After about three lines of "Say what you mean to say," *I* said (to my radio) "Dude, say what YOU mean to say, and then stfu." And changed the channel.

Champion 7821 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: John Mayer - take your own advice! Ah geez...don't get me started about John Mayer. Too late. They were playing "Daughters" the other day in the gym, which, while it doesn't rate the as high on the unintenional comedy scale as some of his others, is his most cynical and reprehensible. Because, ostensibly, it's directed at the fathers of girls, admonishing them to treat them with respect so that they will one day grow into well-adjusted, confident women. When, in fact, even he must recognize that no man on the planet listens to his music by choice. Therefore, he obviously wrote the song so that women would think that it was directed to their fathers/husbands and they would think that he was so sensitive to women's issues that they would love him and want to sleep with him. Which means two things: One, that he thinks women are idiots, and two that he actually takes the time to think, "Ok, how can I write a song in such a way that women will want to sleep with me." I mean, you just know that Miss-Daddy-Issues-Personified Jessica Simpson heard that song and thought, "There is a man who understands what a father should mean to a little girl...." Makes me want to puke. Or punch him in the mouth. I'm not sure which. Maybe one, then the other. I've got no beef with singers trying to get laid--in fact, I think that's probably the reasonwhy 99% of guys pick up a guitar in the first place, but his calculated cynicsm is annoying to me. |

I agree with most of what you say but I think that when he wrote that wong he was thinking `Even when I'm all washed up and Ive been dumped by the movie stars, the porn stars and eventually the crack whores, they will still be playing my song during the father-daughter dance at weddings.' Sadly he couldnt have predicted his downward spiral would start so soon. Nor could he have predicted the backlash against that annoying fu**ing `need to say' stinkburger would be the catalyst, even though anybody with a modicum of taste could've told him the song may spark epileptic seizures and suicidal tendencies. In any case, he banged Jennifer Anniston, and for that alone he gains my respect. |

Champion 5868 Urbandale, IA | Subject: RE: John Mayer - take your own advice! I think you are all wrong. I think that he got stuck on "need to say" because he is so busy "Waiting for the world to change". I got an idea, there Johnson. How about going out and doing something to change it, you worthless waste of space. |

Don't sit and wait for the world to change, DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE IT. I didn't realize he sang that song - all these "modern" singers seem the same to me... |

You have to experience NKOTB today. It's unbelievable! Picture a sold out arena of say 28-38 y/o women screaming their heads off acting like they're 12. It's great. Though I'm rather annoyed....I crashed on my bike on Saturday and now have bruises on my legs which are causes for a panic in the outfit. The short skirt aint happenin with these battle wounds. Sigh, what's a girl to do. |

| Davenport, IA | Subject: RE: John Mayer - take your own advice! Bripod - 2009-03-19 9:17 PM That's right, "Say what you need to say" repeated 20 TIMES at the end of the song. That is more ironic than a shark sighting at Shark Island, rain on your wedding day, and a post on celibacy during RIOW in COJ, all put together! I will preface this statement by saying I love 311, and I will forgive them for this song, but that song is as ironic as the song Come Original. I think the only lyrics in that song were "Come original, come original, you've got to come original..." |
