And all this time I thought one of the hardest things in the world to understand was income taxes.

It made perfect sense to me

google anyone?

John Mayer writes ballads to get women into bed with him. Richard Marx writes love songs because he's really in love (or is crafting a fictional story based on feelings he relates to). Richard Marx probably would write some of those ballads even if he weren't going to share with someone who isn't already special to him, whereas Mayer probably only writes ballads for external rewards. Even if someone didn't know of John Mayer's famous relationships, reading his lyrics shows a lot of linking sex with love, which raises questions about character, in my opinion.

Oh, I see. I guess. I'm not entirely convinced that Marx didn't just do the same thing in a different / less obvious style.

Google told you that Richard Marx writes love ballads because he's really in love?

Richard Marx writes love songs because he's really in love with John Mayer.

I googled that and, sure enough, it's true. Also, it turns out that John Mayer only wants Richard Marx for sex :(

That bastard! And I heard he only wants Karl Marx for his beard!

Maybe he did. But between the absence of any evidence of that and my read on his personality, I'm very doubtful. If he were to be discovered as secretly sleazy, then my opinion of his music would go downhill.

Now what does the Beatles question have to do with this subject? I could guess it's about their love lives.

Richard Marx writes love songs because he's really in love with his bank balance! :laughing:
