The only Mayer I like is Oscar

If you somehow missed it, there was a bit of bruhaha the past couple of weeks over some stupid comments John Mayer made in an interview with Playboy.

Racialicious did/linked to some great articles on it and what it can be indicative of:

Isn't he just a magnificent douche? Imagine how happy I was when I discovered that "Walk on the Ocean" was a cover of a Toad the Wet Sprocket song. Only song by Mayer I've ever liked, and it was written by someone else. Ha!

I got to see Toad the Wet Sprocket in concert back in high school (still have the t-shirt) and they were/are awesome. Mayer is a douche with an ego the size of Jupiter. No use for him.

I was really kind of surprised by how big of a douche Mayer is, because I did not think it was possible for someone to be that epically douchey outside of fiction. I mean, come on! How does he even fit inside building with an ego that big?

It makes me kind of sad to realize that Mayer is makeout music for a lot of people my age. Ugh.

He covered TTWS?

I don't know what's worse... That the bands that were huge when I was in high school are being covered by musicians now, or that they're being covered by douchey musicians in general. Am I really that old? What's with kids today, anyway?

Never bought any. Certainly don't intend to start now. Think anyone who sleeps with him is an idiot.

I couldn't blame the girls in the beginning, who hasn't dreamed of a romantic musician boyfriend? But anyone after this article has to be of Tila Tequila/fame whore stature.

Douchebag.

I confess that I like to listen to the radio; various stations from the easy listening to pop to the "classic" rock. But even before this article came out I'd change the station when one of Mr. Mayer's songs would come on. (Just like I treat Miley Cyrus's songs.) Now I definitely hit a different pre-set. Don't waste radar space on him.
