John Mayer achieves life-long goal of 80s hairdo

May 1st, 2008 // 93 Comments

When John Mayer blogs, the world listens. This time around he shares with us a deep passion for obtaining the perfect 80s-style feathered hairdo. As a die-hard user of Aqua-Net myself, I can’t fault John on his quest for radicalness. And now the immortal words of John Mayer:

Today I set off on my newest project; to grow and maintain an authentic ’80s style feathered haircut. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for some time and I’m very excited to bring this amazing look into today’s pop culture landscape. The feathered cut projects an attitude of ease and quiet confidence that seems to have all but eluded our generation.
This is a work in progress, and as my hair grows longer it will serve to become a more stirring and poignant statement.

I find it best to look at the pics I included while listening to “Broken Wings” by Mr. Mister:

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open and let us in
Take these broken wings

Yeah, all that stuff. Fly, fly, Mr. Mayer. Fly, fly

    He’s wearing very non-threatening jeans.

    @49–Soulful blues artist? What the fuck does a rich white kid from the suburbs of Connecticut know about the blues? Unless he’s singing about his faeg haircut, its called Easy Listening.

  6. I hear they blast his music at Gitmo to get the terrorists to talk.

    Vintage John Stamos – brings me back to my first naughty dreams. Ahh, good times.

    “I’m very excited to bring this amazing look into today’s pop culture landscape.”

    He actually thinks he’s relevant? hahahaha what a dick.

    He is a huge fan of Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. He spent many lonely nights in his room as a teenager practicing and practicing and practicing and yes playing the blues. You obviously never heard his soulful blues sounding CD called Continuum.

  10. I’m pretty sure John is kidding with his blog.. He actually has a pretty good sense of humor.

  11. pocahontas

    he actually looks good with this cut. REALLY good.

    given… that blog was pretty gay.

    but the 80′s are an awesome era. and if the style fits him… why the hell not let him get it?

  12. John Mayer Rocks!

    Right on #60!

  13. I Hope....

    I hope fitted jean and pants come back in style for men. I miss looking at tight bubble butts or shapely butts. I hope shorts for men where I can actually see their legs come back in style too.

    John Mayer is funny, hot, and rocks!

    @49 & 59 way to shamelessly plug his album you filthy fucking paid bloggers. You twats are about as stealthy as a bull in a china shop..

  15. toolboy

    Rick O’Casek banged Rick Spingfield and together they had Mayer’s hairdo.

    Mayer isn’t a bad guitar player, but his licks are not original and they have no depth or soul. Bang his nuts in a car door for an hour or 2 and then maybe he could come up with something other than the white-boy-cop-a-lick blues he is portraying now. For that matter, take all the trust fund “punks” with their $90 Clash retro concert t-shirts and slam their nuts in a car door for a couple of hours too.

    god, he’s fine as hell

  17. Relax

    Probably because his Continuum CD is not like his other pop sounding music.

  18. EuroNeckPain

    His jeans are horrible like he shit in them, and his tatoos are disgusting.

  19. jakebarnes

    I love this guy. The only celebrity with some talent and a sense of humor about himself. His pop music sucks but man can he PLAY.

  20. Beav

    Oh I see if he’s a fan of blues than he’s a blues artist?? WTF??? He is NOT blues.

    I’m a fan of tortillas, does that make me a burrito????

  21. kisskiss

    hahaha, so when i started to read this John Mayer came on the radio.

  22. minniememe

    Did Rick Springfield get a facelift?

  23. jrz

    John Mayer takes it up the hiney.

  24. AliCat

    This is what Ken’s plastic hair would look like if he were a real person.

  25. Brooklyn

    i hate john mayer. everytime i watch him sing it makes me want to hunt him down and push him down a flight of stairs.

  26. dude

    John Gayer doesn’t have 80′s hair. Bon Jovi had 80′s hair. All John Gayer has is a vagina and easily pleased, shallow fans like julie.

  27. He now resembles Richard Ramirez. Watch our Angelenos!

  28. He now resembles Richard Ramirez. Watch out Angelenos!

    I’m a big fan of John but your comment is hillarious. John could also draw a pentagram on his palm and show it to the cameras saying, “Hail Satan” like Ramirez did while on trial. I think John is cute and very talented.

    What. The. Fuck.

  31. iburl

    just when I thought my tolerance for him had hit rock bottom. Way to break through the floor of lame-o HQ.

  32. Erica

    Legit.

  33. HeartJM

    You know, I wish that I had Jessie’s girl,
    I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
    Where can I find a woman like that

  34. Sarah D.

    I’ve always thought he looked like Jem’s boyfriend Rio…. do you guys remember that shit? Awful 80′s style. I think the 80′s are atrocious, personally. Lame. What a dork…

  35. In the 80′s were also plenty of FAGGOTS.
    THAT’S WHY FOLKS!!

  36. MBA Nixon

    Aww, John got a new thesaurus. Cute!

  37. Amy

    He’s a soulful bluesman ‘cos he listened to Hendrix and Clapton? Hahahahahahahaha. Have any of these people whoring this continuum CD actually heard any blues recorded before 1960? Every white boy guitarist in the Western hemisphere listens to Hendrix and Clapton – it doesn’t necessarily give them soul (esp. as Clapton has none – technically amazing, yes, but lacking the soul of the blues).

    fcking hilarious!!! thanks for the laugh!!

    John Mayer is getting a little too douche-y these days for my liking.

    Dude John can play the blues as well. I suspect you are into top 40 music or rap crap.

    Unfortunately I cannot find any new musicians playing blues music like John Mayer. I’m a big fan of Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie Ray vaughn, etc. Perhaps you can recommend current musicians playing blues music.

    Thank you.

  41. John Rocks!

    John Mayer’s AKOG (“Another Kind Of Green”) Initiative – is happy to announce the continuing partnership with REVERB to help make the upcoming tour even more “green” than last summer’s, which succeeded in reducing over 1,000,000 pounds of CO2 pollution!

    John Mayer’s music stinks.
    John Mayer is an annoying attention whore.
    John Mayer thinks he is funny but he is not.
    His 80′s hair style looks terrible, but I guess it matches his personality now.
