Jason Mraz will have you 'feeling all over'

Chris Azzopardi

If there were any man singer-songwriter Jason Mraz could visualize himself getting down with it'd be Johnny Depp.
Not that Mraz is gay, but when PlanetOut proposed the question to "Mr. A-Z" and his band members agreed they could see him with the heartthrob, he agreed.
"Hands down he'd make a hot onscreen lover," Mraz told PlanetOut.
Mraz, whose most popular hit song is the ubiquitous "Remedy (I Won't Worry)," became aware of queer issues in high school, when kids called him gay.
"After some brief research and experimentation I realized I was not," he said. "My best friend was, however, having come out shortly after high school. I never saw it coming. I just thought he was way cooler and classier than everyone else."
Mraz believes the gay-marriage debate is "ridiculous." "I think there shouldn't be any debate whatsoever," he told EXP Magazine in St. Louis, Minn. "I think any two people should be able to get married. People are allowed to marry their dogs, and they do. They think it's cute and, shit, you'll probably even see it on 'Jay Leno' from time to time."
Hailing from Virginia, Mraz is known more for his catchy hooks and guitar playing than his gay-friendliness. After playing a weekly gig at local hot-spot Java Joe's in San Diego, Mraz left for Los Angeles and sparked the attention from record labels, according to All Music's Web site.
In 2002, he was signed to Elektra Records and wrote and recorded his debut album back in Virginia. The result: "Waiting for My Rocket To Come," a blend of rock, coffeehouse folk and country with dashes of jazz and hip-hop. In 2004 he released his sophomore album "Mr. A-Z" and makes it clear on the play-on-words of the lead single of the same name that he's "the wizard of oohs."
"I enjoy watching anyone get it on," he told PlanetOut. "Getting it on is creativity at its finest." But still, guys, he's a ladies man. When PlanetOut asked him to name his first celebrity crush, he said, "I think it was Alyssa Milano back in the 'Who's the Boss' days. She had me feeling all over."
Mraz said he'd be willing to strip down for a flick. "Anything for art," he said, "as long as there is lots of cash associated with it."
Ah, a boy can dream.
