Stop hating and start vibing. Find a list of the top ten John Mayer songs below.
Is it possible that the controversial statements that John Mayer made during his interview with Playboy are being taken a little bit out of context?
John Mayer may be one of the most talented musicians ever, but lately he has become better known for his self-described stupid mouth. No one denies (not even him) that he’s said some things that could be considered offensive to others over the years, but why are those the statements that seem to linger in our minds? As I recall John has also said and done some terrific things since his rise to fame, but some how this scandal obsessed nation still manages to forget that.
Around eight years ago the Blues aficionado began a charity called “Back To You,” which according to looktothestars.com raises money for health care, education, the arts, and talent development through auctions of exclusive John Mayer items, such as guitar picks, t-shirts, and signed CDs.
Did you know that he is eco-friendly, and has done a lot to support the ‘Green’ movement? Click here to learn more.
Who performed at a free concert held at Virginia Tech after the massacre back in 2007? You guessed it John Mayer did, along with the Dave Matthews Band, Phil Vassar, and Nas. Not to mention the numerous other benefits and telethons that he has performed at for one philanthropic cause or another.
Despite all the good he has done for both charity and music people are reportedly protesting outside some of his concerts. According to neonlimelight.com an African-American protester, outside the Verizon Center in Washington, DC had the following to say about the “Waiting on the World to Change” Singer:
“John Mayer should not get a free pass to come to the District of Columbia for his racist and bigoted and sexist comments. He needs to be in jail.”
Jail? Kind of harsh, eh?

Couldn’t agree more.
Mayer is great, and the whole “word choice” thing was blown way out of proportion. His intentions were good. He’s one of the few actual artists of today.

I love John Mayer’s music. People need to just chill. He does not deserve to be in jail. So he made comments that people didn’t like? He’s entitled to a preference in women. I wasn’t offended by anything that he said, and I think people need to just move on. His Battle Studios cd is amazing and so is all of his other work. People always blow things out of proportion. Hes a true artist and people need to remember his talent and not his mouth.
