The NTSB has sent a Go Team to Columbia, South Carolina, to investigate the crash. The Learjet 60 crashed on takeoff at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport at 11:53 p.m. Friday. Beth Frits, spokeswoman at the Joseph Still Burn Center, in Augusta, Georgia, said Barker and Goldstein arrived at the hospital early Saturday. She said both men had “extensive burns.” The burn center is the largest in the country, and the main one in the Southeast, she said.

You’re right, John Mayer actually had a decent blues career, plus, he can actually play… Jack Johnson is like John Mayer’s lite, lets hold hands, mk2. We don’t need anymore of this bullshit, 3 chord progressions. ---

John Mayer is a fucking faggot. Jack Johnson does alot with his career besides try to make money and use his celebrity status to get chicks. (I have friends that grew up in the same area where Jack Johnson lives and he, and his wife, are environmentalists like whoa. They raise a ton of money for to go towards that stuff) I’d compare John Mayer to Jason Mraz, not Jack Johnson. ---

Listening to the radio says Barker was burned from the waist down and will make a full recovery. DJ AM was burnt on the face they said and should also make a recovery. ---
