John Mayer apologizes for Playboy interview comments

Filed Under Music News by Sean John

John Mayer, guitar genius but incredibly loose-mouthed, apologized recently for the interview he gave to Playboy for the March edition of the world popular men’s mag. GMANews.tv says this:

NEW YORK – John Mayer is apologizing for his mouth. The Grammy-winner took to his Twitter page to make amends for his latest inflammatory comments — this time, in the March edition of Playboy.

In it, he calls former girlfriend Jessica Simpson “sexual napalm” and says Jennifer Aniston is a technophobe who wishes she could go back to her career prime in 1998. He also uses the N-word.

On Twitter Wednesday afternoon, he apologized for the racial epithet and said he has to stop “trying to be so raw in interviews.”

“It started as an attempt to not let the waves of criticism get to me, but it’s gotten out of hand and I’ve created somewhat of a monster,” Mayer tweeted. “I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. I don’t have the stomach for it.”

In this particular interview, he made racial comments when asked about how “loved” he was by the US African-American community. In these comments he used the word “nigger”, which belatedly he apologized for using it — claiming that he had hoped to intellectualize the term. He said he realized how emotionally charged the word was, and promised to never use it again.

He also said some very controversial comments about his past girlfriend Jennifer Aniston — implying he was just too young — and too modern — for her in the end. Not only that, he remembers another former girlfriend Jessica Simpson and talked about her sexual ability, and said: “That girl, for me, is a drug … That girl is like crack cocaine to me.”

Oh well, folks. He apologized and said he was sorry. Life goes on.We recently caught John Mayer’s DVD called “Where the light is”, his concert in California. (We watched it in our handy external DVD drive). The man is a genius, show was great — so great that we’re getting a Blu-ray disc version of said DVD. Obnoxious, maybe, and has a LOT of belief in himself. But a guitar genius nonetheless.
