John's Legendary Battle With Depression Is Over
You wouldn't have to be a genius to know that I've been down in the dumps for the past few weeks. I'd like to let you know that I'm making a recovery. You see, I've found love again.
Sometimes we humans get caught up in pettiness, jealousy, and loneliness. As an artist, I experience these emotions a thousand times greater than non-artists or "norms." Anyway, when I lost the old ball and chain (I was thinking of making the joke "old boobs and chain," but I thought better of it -- and who says this blog isn't sensitive?), that dumb bimbo took a piece of my heart. It's sad, but true. That was hard to get over, and it sent me into a downward spiral.
Ben, I know now that you read this blog, so let me just say that I really admire you and always have. "Brick" is an awesome song, as is your entire post-"Brick" work. It was the depression talking. I think you understand. Otherwise, it's gonna be a long rest-of-the-tour. Right, buddy? Right?
Anyway, time to put the past behind us. As I said up top, I'm making a recovery. There's a new girl in my life! She's hot, sexy, and wears nothing but leaves. No, it's not the girl from American Beauty. I'm talking about Mother Earth! Get ready to hear a lot more about our sexual exploits in the tabloids. We rekindled our love affair at a little event called, oh I don't know -- Live Earth! And I promise you all that I'll be gentle with her (though legally, I'm not promising anything).
...Thora Birch! That's the girl from American Beauty. I wonder what she's up to.

Glad you are climbing out of it. Someone, took a large chunk of my heart last year around the beginnig of October. I had a total nervous breakdown, but I am back and rolling. It takes time to heal. Take it and spend it wisely with Mother Earth. I am glad you got someone to take real good care of you for now.
VERY glad to hear that you're bouncing back. I'm sure that playing guitar with the freakin' POLICE helped a weeee bit! That, plus the fact that your hair is starting to grow back in -- thank GOD!!
Oh, no, no, no, no! Do NOT let that floppy-toppy grow back! LOL! You, sir, are so much cuter with short hair!
Now, back to Mère Nature; don't be fickle with her, she can't take it! Glad to hear you're on the mend. I hate those heart-wrenching, tight-gut feelings breakups leave in their wake. But being the fantastic lyricist that you are, wouldn't these emotions be good fodder for future works?

i'm in the worst depression of my life right now. ive been studying for the last 2 months for the ny bar exam and it has been so trying both physically and mentally. i wake up mumbling legalese, go to class and type fervently every single rule of law, try to commit it all to memory and then proceed to get beaten down by the practice questions and insanely hard essays which are all time pressured. on my midnight ride home from the library i play bigger than my body and try to regain any strength and sanity i have left to convince myself i can do this and tomorrow will be a better day. but its not. everyday is groundhogs day. and its misery. you help more than u know with those songs. the bar is the 24 and 25. i will be at your concert on the 26. give me a shout out please. and say a pray if u remember to on those days. ill need it. -m
It's it a contradiction in terms that a'dumb blonde' took a piece of your heart. How could you have allowed that?
Any way hopefully your old love and new love will bring some inspiration for your music
