John Mayer’s much-publicized Twitter break has ended. He announced his forthcoming digital cleanse on New Year’s Eve as a resolution of sorts, claiming that his addiction to the internet was sapping his creative power:
By not micro-trading in my emotional stock value every second of the day, I may just end up seeing the bigger, beautiful picture.

And so, after more than a week of introspection, what pearl of wisdom did he deem worthy to bestow on his nearly 3 million followers?
You really get to know your pants when you travel.

Bigger picture indeed.

I wasn’t aware that Mini-Lurch even had a soul. Didn’t he ink some deal w/the Devil to get his hands on Jennifer Love Hewitt’s personal flotation devices?
Twitter IS the devil. Look at that, a pearl of wisdom in less than 140 characters.
So Profound.
He wasn’t taking some kind of spiritual break from Twitter. He was just going on vacation or traveling for work! Faker!
“Twitter IS the devil.”
He was going to make the character limit 666, but thought that was too on-the-nose.
I’d sell his soul to the devil too to get a minute or two with JLH.
“You really get to know your pants when you travel.” That’s deep man.
** beatnik finger snaps**
I don’t get to know my pants any where near as well as my balls do.
The photo with guy in thoughtful repose, rumpled bed and guitar says it all. Will pose as a sincere musician for publicity, cash and/or babes. Best offer over “absolutely talentless” as market value considered.
The internet can indeed suck your soul slowly. Without you realizing it. Kudos to him for taking that break. Although it seems that he might need a longer one. The pearl of wisdom is more like a pebble.
After watching John Mayer play Gravity on the Crossroads dvd, i have been wondering about the scales he uses.
@Darla, to be fair that photo is from the Room for Squares era so it’s quite old and likely a Label ‘one sheet’ (a photo and/or bio sent by record companies with a new artists album/single), which are typically cheesy and cliche.
I would also assume one who labels the man ‘absolutely talentless’ has never listened to his music.
I have listened to his music. And I agree with Darla. Don’t start with the “you just don’t GET IT” BS. People like what they like.
If you don’t like him, it must mean you simply can’t understand his genius!
You know who else they said that about? That’s right. Hitler.
Oh, Beige, you might have just topped your Julia Roberts comment in the Heidi post!! Now I know he is not only utterly talentless (a position I’ve held almost a decade), but also a hypocrite. Congrats, John.
I gave up taking JM seriously after he released ‘Waiting for the World to Change’. Explain this: someone who has more money than I’ll ever imagine, whining about the futility of trying to better the world; while people who live paycheck to paycheck put their time and money into improving life, and meeting the needs of others.
Ugh. Spoiled little boy.
I felt the same way about Madonna after she released “Material Girl” – especially since I went to school with MANY girls who had that attitude of “sorry-little-boy-but-you-don’t-have-money-so-I’m-not-going-to-give-you-the-time-of-day”.
His music makes me scream and claw at my ears. I don’t think I’d know that unless I’d heard it.
What is the “bigger, more beautiful picture”, John? are you talking about breast tissue?
Sorry, just where I go when coping with internet published comments by serious artists like you, John Mayer.
Could be a personal failing in recognizing genius on my part.
