John Mayer looking hot in Details Magazine
On creating pop music:
“I don’t know if you know, but I’m not exactly Bob Dylan – I’m already a pop musician…I want to reach as many people as possible…I don’t mind compromising.”
On people hating him:
“What if I had a booth on the street and I said, ‘Attention everybody who hates me: If you have a problem with me, I’m ready to hear your gripes! I will be outside the Barneys store on 60th Street from two to four this afternoon…I will only be speaking to people who not like me. Come out and let me have it.’ How many people do you think would be standing there?…Ze-ro.”
During the interview (in its December issue) conducted at L.A.’s star hangout Chateau Marmont, Mayer, 32, encounters Butler at a nearby table and strikes up a private 20 minute conversation. Gerard Butler had been briefly linked to Mayer’s ex-girlfriends Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson.
When the Details writer asks about the chat, Mayer says, “We talked about New York . . .We’re in a bit of the same position of being branded womanizers.”
Mayer then opens up a tad about the famous women he’s dated, suggesting that the heart wants what it wants:
“You just never know who’s going to come into your life,” he says. “To my mind, the only thing sicker than saying, ‘Wow, you’re a famous person and it would do a lot for my career to go out with you,’ is to say, ‘Wow, you’re a famous person and I like you and all, but I can’t do that to my career.’ I don’t think either of those is a good option.”
The profile also details the musician’s myriad collections: watches, guitars, cars, Leica cameras, even women’s leather bags. Explains Mayer: “I have the obsessiveness of someone who’s a sober, recovering addict displacing his addiction . . . Except I never had the addiction.” He adds self-consciously: “I’ve never done anything because I thought it would look cool.”

“I’ve never done anything because I thought it would look cool.” But I don’t mind being a complete and total slave to the pop music industry….

I love him… I hate his public persona of having loose lips and how disrespectful he seems to be to women, but if you can overlook all of that nonsense, you will see that he is a truly talented singer, songwriter and performer. He doesn’t need to go overboard and have props and all that stupid crap Rihanna, Britney or that idiot Adam Lambert set up, to entertain people… He is just a talented artist, period.

Anybody else find it funny that one of the cover titles “A guide to the gay douchebag” is on his picture?

How many people do you think would be standing there?…Ze-ro.” I would fly there from Australia just to be able to call him a douche to his face and i’m sure i’m not the only one
