Yeah, John Mayer does have a high opinion of himself.
Although, I must admit I did get a kick out of it when he was being interviewed by some trashy magazine or something, and they asked him of his opinion on the public health debate in America at the time. This was after opening the interview with a question about the Nobel Peace Prize. He replied, and I quote:
Have you ever heard me play guitar? I’m really ******* good. You know what I’m bad at? Answering questions about public health care. This is not in my wheelhouse. Do you have any questions about music? I almost got a mad need to lighten up. You need to lighten up, because the questions you asked me were all troublemaking questions. If someone gave me the Nobel Peace Prize, and I didn’t deserve it, I would just shut my mouth and enjoy the hell out of it.
Which, while it does showcase the arrogance shown earlier, I do agree with the sentiments that no-one cares what John Mayer thinks about Obama's Peace prize, or the state of public health, or the next issue in this stupid interviewers list (seventies moustaches, of all things
), and that if you're going to interview a musician, TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC.
Ok, I'm done, but yeah, overall, I agree Mayer's a douche. I still enjoy his music though
