John's really excited to release "Gravity" because he's said it's the song he's been trying to write for the last few years of his career. He called "Come Back To Bed" off the last LP its precursor.

Just finished listening to the whole album with headphones and reading the lyrics. I am very impressed with the lyrics on this album. As with some songs on Heavier Things, I feel like I'm getting an inside glimpse of a guy with a tender heart who really wants to fall in love and raise a family, but also doesn't want to grow up. And the anti-war messages in Belief and WFTWTC are so topical. I loved Stop this Train with its father/son conversation (even though it reminds me of a David Gray song that I can't place my finger on). I literally teared up. And I like In Repair, Dreaming with a Broken Heart, WTWTC and I Don't Trust Myself. The Jimi Hendrix cover "Bold as Love" was a jolt since it really stands out like a sore thumb lyrically. The first six listens or so I thought it was a real snoozer. But overall the entire album has really grown on me. I read somewhere that the brothers of Curtis Mayfield were claiming that John copied from one of Curtis' songs. But I don't know enough of Curtis' music to know what song they're talking about. When it comes to a second single, I wouldn't choose Gravity myself. Maybe In Repair or Stop this Train. Gravity doesn't sound like a radio song to me. In fact, other than WFTWTC, I don't hear a big radio hit from this album. But if Norah Jones could be so successful...

My choice for the second single is probably "Slow Dancing...". But "Gravity" is really nice too, I'm hoping it will pull a surprise and become a decent hit. And yeah, "Stop This Train" is one of the stronger songs in the album lyrically (to me, anyway) but I don't think that could work as a single.

I don't know what he's doing with her... Well, I'm sure I can guess but.... oh, you know what I mean! John Mayer has a new tour partner – Jessica Simpson! The two, who shared a romantic dinner together in Miami the night before, leave the Four Seasons Hotel Tuesday afternoon to board Mayer's tour bus. Destination? Jacksonville, where Mayer is performing on Thursday.

John Mayer on Aging, Jessica and His Comedy Career FRIDAY JANUARY 26, 2007 02:40 PM EST By Tim Nudd People Magazine John Mayer feels secure about his music career – but maybe a little less so about his age and his comedy skills. Responding to questions from a contestant on the reality show I'm From Rolling Stone, Mayer jokes that turning 30 this coming October will be rough. "There are lots of very invasive tests that doctors like to administer to men in their 30s," he says. "These tests usually result in a ride home with the radio off and very little blinking." The wisecracking singer has also been working on his career as a standup comedian, and has performed several times at New York's Comedy Cellar. Asked to describe the first set where he bombed, Mayer replies, "You mean 'set' as in just one? I'm not done bombing. I'm still clearing out a life's worth of 'Is that funny?' To which the answer is usually 'at least not the way you said it, it's not.' " Mayer broaches the subject of his relationship with Jessica Simpson obliquely. When asked if he has "ever purchased a Jessica Simpson album," Mayer replies: "I listen to most new music released every week." Mayer and Simpson spent time together in Miami this week. They have been linked on and off since the summer. In terms of his music career, Mayer says he's in a groove – fans "come and go" he says, and he's "okay with that." But don't expect him to open up about his celebrity in a song anytime soon. "I refuse to ever write a song about ANY trappings of fame," he says. "That's like your head crowing inside your ass, only set to music. Lots of people think "Vultures" is about fame and the entertainment industry, but it's not. It's more about where my confidence comes from."

John Mayer and Jessica Simpson continue their tour of the Sunshine State in Miami on Friday. After Mayer's concert date in Jacksonville, the duo, who were in town earlier in the week, rolled in on Mayer's tour bus at 4 a.m. and checked into the Four Seasons Hotel.

The guy is clearly on a roll. Huge album, tour and the pre requisite arm candy to make sure he's never out of the headlines!

John Mayer Gives Fan a Sweet-16 Kiss The singer smooches a "never been kissed" audience member in Oklahoma Feb 05, 2007 04:00PM EST John Mayer was spotted kissing an unidentified girl on Saturday – but Jessica Simpson need not worry: The lucky kiss-ee was a fan in the audience at his concert in Oklahoma City. During a pause between songs, Mayer commented on various signs held up by audience members. He read one that exhorted his bass player, David "DeLa" LaBruyere: "DeLa, Naked, Now." Then, turning to a female fan, he said, "Yours is a little more complex, multifaceted. 'Sweet 16 and never been kissed. Wanna be my first?' " Mayer paused, and then, to the screams of fans, climbed down from the stage and into the crowd, where he planted a quick smooch on the girl. Climbing back onstage, he said: "Alright! ... Congratulations. Happy birthday." Not in the audience was Mayer's No. 1 fan, Jessica Simpson, who caught his show in Miami last week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAk3nSgjVBg

NANI? MAYER JAMS JAPANESE
For John Mayer, the language of love might be Japanese.
The Grammy-winning singer was asked by Ryan Seacrest on the Grammy red carpet about Jessica Simpson, to whom Mayer has been romantically linked. Mayer answered in Japanese and then suggested Seacrest get someone to "decode" what he said and "subtitle it."
The translation came back that Mayer had said: "She is very beautiful, and you are the last to know."

Their "relationship" is not going to help her sales and are going to hurt hers.
How can you take him serious when he is in a relationship with the tuna girl

John Mayer: Not Denying Jessica Romance "I'm having the best time of my life," the singer says in a new interview Feb 24, 2007 01:00PM EST
Though John Mayer has been coy about his romance with Jessica Simpson in the past, the singer may be loosening up a bit more when it comes to discussing their relationship.
When asked by Time Out New York, "So, what about Jessica? According to Extra, you can't deny you're a couple anymore," Mayer responds: "I don't think I've ever denied it. When did I deny it?"
Adds Mayer, whose fans might think the crooner and the pop star are an odd match: "I'm having the best time of my life, so if the names don't make sense to people, that's so small to me."
Mayer was most recently quizzed by Ryan Seacrest about Simpson on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. Mayer answered Seacrest in Japanese and suggested, "Find a Japanese person and decode it."
It was decoded and it turns out Mayer said: "She's a lovely woman and I'm glad to be with her."
At Clive Davis's pre-Grammy party that same weekend, Mayer refused to take the bait when asked whether he preferred blondes or brunettes (right after Simpson changed her hair color): "I prefer women," he joked.
Simpson, 26, and Mayer, 29, have been spotted out together for months, including stops in Miami, New York and Los Angeles, but haven't publicly discussed their relationship.
