This guy gives me the damn heebie-jeebies. Joe Simpson says that he approves of his daughter Jessica's boyfriend John Mayer. Yeah he approves of him because John Mayer's a gay and he knows that he's not actually tapping that. Which leaves room for him someday! I think Jessica has been able to hold him off until now but if the right project came along that Jessica wanted to do - ugh, he would have the leverage. He's so incesty.

"If Jessica is in love, I love the things she is in love with," Joe Simpson, 49, told PEOPLE of Mayer at the Entertainment Weekly upfront party at The Box in New York City on Tuesday.

"I want her to be happy. I'm always a fan of his. I love him; he's got great music."

"I think the beautiful thing is that [he and Jessica] don't do the same thing," he told PEOPLE on Tuesday. "He's a legend already. There is no competition. He's a guitarist; that's his thing. Jessica is a singer. She doesn't play guitar, so there's no competition."

"I love what she loves"? "Jessica is a singer"? Both bizarre statements. If he didn't have this gig as creepy manager Dad, he'd be driving around in a van asking schoolgirls if they wanted to see the puppy he had in the back.
