John Mayer Drops The “N” Word In Vulgar Interview
“John has no filter. He’s a really good guy, really intelligent,” Beleznay said. “But I think his sense of humor goes over the general public’s head. Sometimes he likes to embellish his point by saying certain things and people take it at base value.”
John Mayer Apologizes For Using The “N” Word
Beleznay, is of course, referring to Mayer’s use of the “N” word during a recent interview for Playboy Magazine. “Someone asked me the other day, ‘what does it feel like now to have a hood pass?’ 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****r pass.,” Mayer was quoted as saying.
“I wouldn’t say that John says things as a marketing ploy, but he definitely knows what to say to get people talking,” his buddy told RadarOnline.com. “He’s a really intelligent guy. I’m sure he meant no harm.”

Beleznay first met Mayer back in high school. Growing up in Conneticut, they started a band with another friend called Villanova Junction. The three 18-year-olds played throughout high school and a couple of years following before John moved to Georgia. Beleznay, also a musician, says he can’t believe the fame his old pal has achieved.
“John’s on a pedestal now. Everyone pays attention to what he says,” He told RadarOnline.com. “But I guess that’s Hollywood for you.”

A moron is a moron and John Mayer is a moron. I suggest he find a good psychiatrist and figure out why he doesn't have this "filter" that other human beings seem to have. Idiot!

I agree with you guys that he has deep issues with women. Hope this inspires him to get help. He really, really needs it - his view of women of all types seems to be severely skewed.

I hate this guy. He just can't shut the f up! He must LOVE the sound of his voice. He must spend hours making sweet love to himself by reciting the Declaration of Independence. Narcissistic ahole

Referring to one ex as "crack" and another as the "american flag" does nothing but reduce these women to 'things". Neither women have dishonored or disrespected him in that way......his mother should have a word with him!!
