I also enjoy "intelligent" pop music - so basically I hardly listen to pop music anymore.
However, I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I first heard (and saw) Maroon 5. I just about wore out my copy of their debut album, Songs About Jane. Catchy melodies, brooding lyrics, and a hot, hot skinny white boy lead singer. Heaven!
Then he had to go and get "romantically" linked to Jessica Simpson. That was sort of like standing on the North Pole, butt-ass nekkid and having ice water dumped over me. OK boys - I know she's got a body to die for but seriously - dumb as a bag of hammers. Happily it's a romantic entanglement that didn't last, but now my Skinny White Boy crush has the Jessica Stink on him.
Not that I necessarily have to "respect" the guy to enjoy his music - but seriously, Jessica Simpson?! Icky, icky, cooties! Yeah, I know - cute butt, big boobs, lots of blonde hair = men losing their minds and their tongues hitting the asphalt. But hello? Dumb as a bag of hammers!
(Of course, if you're only going to have sex with her I guess her having the intelligence of a fruit fly can be overlooked)
So I vowed to wash Maroon 5 right out of my hair. It was unlikely that their second album (if they ever completed it) was going to be "as good" as Songs About Jane. Then I saw the new video. Damn. I'm still pissed about Jessica - but I'm starting to get over it.

I'm feeling the same way about John Mayer now. I love me some John Mayer, am even going to his concert in April, but now HE'S dating Jessica Simpson! Ugh...
I love Maroon 5, but I'm feeling you on the whole Jessica Simpson thing. Dontcha just love Youtube?
By the way, I really hate word verification, this is my third attempt dammit!
LOL Or as my mom would have said, "Dumb as a box of rocks."
Ditto what Alie said. Our family says, "Dumb as a sack of hair". However, I'm thinking I might go buy the Maroon 5 CD.
Alie: I think she might be a succubus.
Karen: I know, it's a total pain in the ass, but since I turned word verification on I haven't been spammed once *crossing fingers*
Rosie: The new CD doesn't come out until May 22 - but their debut CD also kicks ass.
Amie: My other favorite is "like talking to a brick wall."
