IN RESPONSE TO THE ARREST OF 63 FANS

This weekend, at my concert in Hershey Pennsylvania, 63 audience members
were arrested for various drug and alcohol offenses. Seeing as I have
always kept a strong line of communication with my fans, I'd like to
take a moment to address this unfortunate incident.

First, to the 46 people accused of underage drinking; what were you
thinking? You have your whole life to engage in underage drinking.
What's the hurry? I didn't start underage drinking until I was 26.
Underage drinking is not an function of age, but of style. And you kids
are way too young to truly appreciate the nuances of true underage
drinking.

Though the names of the arrested were not released to the public, I was
able to obtain them by way of my well-placed source in the Hershey
police department. Upon first glance, I find it interesting that of the
63 arrested, 55 were named Kyle.

And to those reading who believe that 63 arrests is on the high side, it
actually doesn't even make this tour's top ten. Night two of Red Rocks
Ampitheatre in Colorado saw more than half that capacity crowd placed
under arrest, and in Houston, Texas two weeks ago, I myself was ensnared
by the long arm of the law when I was cited for illegally soliciting an
undercover canine cop. (My apologies to Champ II.)

In looking to the future, I hope that this will serve as a wake-up call
to young fans who may be thinking about engaging in illegal activity at
one of my concerts. If I happen to be walking backstage and I see any
of you young men passed out drunk on a stretcher, make no mistake about
it, you will come-to in front of your disappointed parents with a face
full of Sharpie and the sneaking suspicion that you've been teabagged by
one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2007.

I'm here (for you!),
John Mayer
