Seems like John Mayer has had a pretty decent summer.
He’s got a lightning-hot summer tour, a seemingly solid fling with Jennifer Aniston and — at least as of this weekend — a bold new haircut.
The affable crooner was photographed with his new ‘do at a concert over the weekend: It’s a dramatic crew cut that’s quite a departure from the wavy ’80s-inspired locks he blogged about in May. (Back then, he said he was trying to revive the Michael J. Fox-style cut in the pop-culture landscape.)
With all this talk about Mayer’s mane, RedEye can’t help but offer a few suggestions for the next time Aniston’s beau wants to switch up his style.
The mullet
Rationale: Business in the front, party in the back.
Bonus: Finally able to nab a spot on mullets galore.com.
The Mohawk
Rationale: It’s totally rock ‘n’ roll — just like Mayer?
Bonus: Gains instant credibility with his “I pity the fool” jokes.
The ‘fro
Rationale: If Will Ferrell can have one, why can’t he?
Bonus: Plays off the, um, popularity of “Step Brothers.”
The Donald
Rationale: It’s gonna be huge. Huge!
Bonus: Expands his fan base — to include AARP cardholders.
Dreadlocks
Rationale: If Bob Marley can do it, why can’t he?
Bonus: None whatsoever.
The ‘Mad Men’
Rationale: The AMC show about the ’60s is hella popular.
Bonus: Finally has an excuse to wear that pinstriped suit.
