John Mayer tries to be edgy – ends up apologizing for Playboy interview

(HMG) – If his tweets weren’t enough to tell you that John Mayer has never meet the word discretion when it comes to talking about his love life, this new Playboy interview (via UsWeekly) ought to make intelligent woman particularly those that enjoy their privacy run for the hills before dating this guy.  Well I am not so certain of Jessica Simpson’s intelligence or desire for privacy but I am pretty sure Jennifer Aniston has to be regretting dating this egotist.  Here’s a few snippets from his interview.

John on Jessica being his drug: “And drugs aren’t good for you if you do lots of them. Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me. Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm. Did you ever say, ‘I want to quit my life and just f**king snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to fuck you, I would start selling all my shit just to keep f**king you.‘”

John on Jennifer Aniston dumping him because he is a Tweet-er, basically saying she is a technophobe who wishes she could go back to her career prime in 1998: “There was a rumor that I’d been dumped because I was tweeting too much. That wasn’t it, but that was a big difference. The brunt of her success came before TMZ and Twitter. I think she’s still hoping it goes back to 1998. She saw my involvement in technology as courting distraction. And I always said, ‘These are the new rules.‘”

John on how many girls he’s screwed since Aniston: “I’m going to say four or five. No more. But even if I said 12, that’s a reasonable number. So is 15. Here’s the thing: I get less ass now than I did when I was in a local band. Because now I don’t like jumping through hoops.”

John on how he’s upping his fame-whoring game in 2010: “From now on I’m just going to pretend that people really dig the shit out of me. I’ve been trying to prove to people I’m not a douche bag by not dating, by keeping my name out of Us Weekly. That’s f**ked up, man. I’m not dating. I’m not even f**king. So now I’m going to experiment with ‘fuck you.’ In 2010 my goal is to get more mentions in Us Weekly than ever.”

In the interview, he also explained why he didn’t date black women, comparing his genitals to white supremacist David Duke,  and liberally used the ‘N’ word.  There is context to everything so without having the entire interview to show (click here to see it at Playboy) I would have left this part alone for another time but Mayer has already come out an apologized for his statements on Twitter saying:

“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.”

Mayer also said he should have never have used the N-word in any context and will never say it again.

“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,” he said.

I don’t buy the apology, particularly on not trying to be a shock jock, after saying what he did about Jessica Simpson. Anyway I think he is well on his way now to getting more mentions in Us Weekly than ever.
