Music Is Stupid

John Mayer - Weird guitar face

Yeah, that’s totally a rational human being at work doing something important.

“Music is stupid.” That may sound like an odd thing to hear coming from a musician.  But I think it explains a lot about my approach to music.  Let me explain….

This last weekend, my girlfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary in a nice hotel in Monterey, CA.  We’d had a day on the town, a fantastic dinner at Passion Fish, and we were just tucking into the champagne and cheese platter the hotel so thoughtfully left in our room for us.  Ok, mostly the cheese since neither of us drinks. :)

Axiron – Become More Manly By Rubbing Your Armpits

Axiron logo

Yes… Use Axiron and you can shoot a manly colored rainbow from your armpits.

I was reading Money magazine yesterday (who’s financially literate? I am!) and there’s an ad for a new testosterone drug called Axiron.  I would love to be the guy that gets paid to make up drug names.  Drubitan.  Manilol.  Hmm… Maybe that second one sounds like a cure for Barry Manilow fans.

Axiron sounds like a cure for too much Axe Body Spray use.  But apparently it’s used to increase male testosterone levels.  And you apply it like deodorant under your arm pits.  And yes, it says, “Apply Axiron only under your arm pits,” because some genius will think he’s found the secret to penis enlargement and/or male pattern baldness.

Autographing An Eye Liner Pencil

Recently, I picked the winners of the “If I Were A Girl” trivia contest and part of the 3rd place winner Sheila Baker’s prize, along with my “Stuff People Like” CD, is an autographed eye liner pencil.  Which I promptly realized would be quite difficult to sign.

So this is a quick little video of me trying to sign the eye liner. :)

And The Winners Are……

Yes, I put everyone's names on slips of paper, shook them up good, and picked 3 random names.

Yes, I put everyone’s names on slips of paper on the back of some old sheet music, shook them up good, and picked 3 random names.

Today we announce the winners of the “If I Were A Girl” Trivia Contest!  Thanks to the 42 people that entered!

Are you excited?  I know you are! Drum roll please…..

First off, here are the correct answers to the 5 questions…

1. What brand of “back massager” is mentioned in the first chorus of the song?
Answer: The Hitachi Magic Wand.  Truthfully, only one person got this right.  Everyone else answered The Rabbit, which, while technically correct, is mentioned in the SECOND chorus of the song, rather than the first. :)   So, I bent the rules a little and counted that answer too.

My Top 7 Funny Transvestites

Blue transvestite

Ok, somehow I’m not seeing a full effort put in here.

By now you’ve probably discovered that I make a pretty ugly woman based on the video of my new song, “If I Were A Girl”.  It’s below if you haven’t seen it yet.

A lot of people have asked if I’ll be making a habit of wearing makeup.  The answer is an emphatic “No.”  I’m obviously not very good at putting it on. :)
