Feudal Friday: John Mayer vs. Women

There is a big stir over John Mayer's interview with Playboy magazine, in which he uses the "n" word, says he wouldn't sleep with black women, and talks a LOT about his famous exes, Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson.

This begs the question...how douchey can a person be before they lose fans?

Mayer started off as a quiet, unassuming, geeky sort, who wrote catchy pop songs. But since his debut, he has evolved into a bluesy, Clapton-esque master of the guitar. But instead of quietly boning groupies and getting regular antibiotic shots, he has to go high-profile. Then he whines that the media is more focussed on his lovelife than his music.

Here's a hint, Mayer: If you want people to listen to your music and forget about who you sleep with, don't go talking all about your exes in Playboy Magazine!

I have no issue with Mayer's starlet-sexing. Nor do I have any issue with his music. But I wonder how long his main fan-base (horny women) will continue to buy his records, and swoon over his sensitive-guy schtick in concert, when they know that he's really just a racist, chauvinist, man-whore.
