The whole John Mayer issue…I think he just talks to hear himself talk. If you are out of the loop, he made some really inappropriate comments in an interview recently. I really do not think he is racist, but he has no filter. There is at least ‘some’ standard that people in the public eye should practice. I believe in free speech and speaking your mind, but useless comments with no value are simply ignorant. We talked about it on the radio this morning and there were mixed reviews. Here’s the deal…every interview I have heard him on or read, he for the majority makes absolutely no sense. Sometimes I think he is going for shock value, but now I’m starting to think he is mentally disturbed. Ok, we all have our demons…we all have some sort of mental state…but he went too far this time. Maybe I don’t get his sense of humor and it is hard for me to believe that somebody as polished as Jennifer Aniston would ever date him. Really?
To even use the ‘N’ word in any context is extremely insulting and hurtful. The same goes for ANY other slang/hateful words that refer to any race or culture. Did he realize what he was saying was being published? I’m sure after this little episode he will not be pulling hot Hollywood chicks like he was before. I would be embarrassed to date someone like that. Ohhh…and to top it off, he also insulted the gay community. Certain groups are demanding an apology as well about that. If he is going for shock value, get a new gig. He is a great songwriter and guitar player, I give him that…but now that is not enough. When I hear his music I cannot separate his lack of intelligence and arrogance. Some people can look past that and separate the two, but this chick…not so much.
