Don’t get out your sad faces out for John Mayer. The “Say What You Need to Say” crooner is not quitting music. In fact he “just wants to play his guitar” and wave goodbye to the media.
Mayer unleashed more verbal diarrhea to Playboy magazine in which he managed to offend 60% of the world in one interview. In case you missed it…
He spewed way too much information on his sex life:
*”I don’t think I open myself to it. My d**k is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a f**kin’ David Duke c**k. I’m going to start dating separately from my d**k.”
*Described Jessica Simpson as sexual napalm (click HERE for that quote)
*Said that he only made sexy times with Jennifer Aniston a handful of times and said she wants to time travel back to 1998 and be Rachel again. He also affirmed that her hatred of Twitter was one of the reasons they split.
Then the cherry on top of this ice cream sundae that has his publicist standing on a ledge somewhere was his use of the controversial “N” Word.
“Someone asked me the other day, ‘What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?’ And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a ni**er pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, I can’t really have a hood pass. I’ve never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, ‘We’re full.’
His choice in being an unapologetic bag of lady wash has revoked his aforementioned “hood pass” and he is starting to feel the backlash of letting endless piles of poo plop out of his mouth. He made tried to apologize in a statement via his rep (aka Twitter.)
Re: using the ‘N word’ in an interview: I am sorry that I used the word. And it’s such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there’s no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged.
And while I’m using today for looking at myself under harsh light, I think it’s time 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. 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. Again, because I don’t want anyone to think I’m equivocating: I should have never said the word and I will never say it again. I just wanted to play the guitar for people. Everything else just sort of popped up and I improvised, and kept doubling down on it…”

It gets even better as he continues to think his “quest to be clever” made his constant douchebaggery ok. He gave his audience in Nashville a tear ridden apology that was about as genuine as Balloon Boy’s dad. Mayer announced he “quit the media” and a roar of cheers followed.
Take it as a hint Johnny.
