Congratulations, John Mayer! Your music sucks, you screw and tell, AND, if that weren't enough, your penis is racist.Well, he did write a song called "My Stupid Mouth": John Mayer has apologized for using a racial slur in his controversial Playboy interview.
"Re: using the 'N word' in an interview: I am sorry that I used the word. ... I should have never said the word and I will never say it again," Mayer wrote in a series of tweets.
Mayer used the slur to describe what he said was his acceptance by African-Americans.
"Someone asked me the other day, 'What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?'" he told Playboy. "And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n----- pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, 'I can't really have a hood pass. I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full.'"
Mayer tweeted that he used the racial epithet because he wanted to make a point that was "in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself." But, he continued, "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."
The racial remarks were not the only provocative comments from the singer-songwriter in the magazine. Discussing his love life, the 32-year-old said he doesn't date black women because his penis is "sort of like a white supremacist."

LAST EDITED ON 02-12-10 AT 02:12 PM (EST)Dunno if this was it, but there's a good 1-hour Youtube clip of him Live on Letterman. Although I'm an electric blues aficionado and have his first two albums on CD (within a rather large blues collection), I haven't been attracted enough to his music (and particularly his voice) to get his later ones. He also plays/sounds better than he looks on stage.
After reading about his comments in his Playboy interview, I'm now even less impressed.

"I don't want people to know how I am in bed!" she says on The Oprah Winfrey Show scheduled to air Wednesday, publicly responding for the first time to Mayer's comments in Playboy last month. Besides calling her "sexual napalm," the singer-songwriter referred to Simpson as "crack cocaine" and said she was "crazy" in bed. He later apologized and promised to "quit the sound-bite game."

If she were smart, she would have said, "John's penis has a first name, it's V-i-e-n-n-a. John's penis has a second name, it's s-a-u-s-a-g-e." But that would require spelling.
