Rocker John Mayer has criticised underage drinkers during in an internet rant after 63 people were arrested at his show on Saturday (21Jul07). Under 21-year-olds made up 46 of those detained by police at the Hershey Park Pavilion gig in Pennsylvania, and Mayer is disappointed his fans were so stupid.He writes on his official blog, "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."He adds in a more light-hearted tone, "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."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 (permanent marker pen) and the sneaking suspicion that you've been teabagged (a sex act) by one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people of 2007."
