Last night, Vulture caught up with John Mayer to ask the singer his thoughts on healthcare reform and Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize. An excerpt of the interview is below:

What do you think about Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize?

I think it’s fantastic.

Why? What’s your overall opinion?

Do you think I’m smart enough to be able to articulate to you why our president receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is a bit early for things? What’s your overall opinion?

I think it’s a bit premature. Someone compared it to giving an Oscar to someone still making a film.

So you don’t think he should have it.

I don’t think its a bad thing, but maybe someone else deserved it more.

Who? If you don’t know who else should have gotten it instead of Obama, I love you, you’re beautiful, but shut your fucking mouth.

What do you think about health care? Would you take the public option?

Have you ever heard me play guitar? I’m really fucking 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 trouble-making 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.
