Mayer addresses Rumors - kind of

John Mayer addresses Jessica rumors...sort of
John Mayer spoke to Access Hollywood tonight about his rumored fling with Jessica Simpson and the media frenzy it created...although he doesn't actually deny dating her.

AH: "How do you react when you've been so much in the public eye, because of this relationship, whether it happened or not, so in a way, it's not bad publicity..."

Mayer: "There's nothing about it at all that I wake up in the morning and go to bed at night and say to myself, 'Hmm, it's kind of got a shiny edge to it.' There's nothing about it that's interesting to me or fascinating with me. I wanna get where I wanna get because I got better on the guitar."

AH: "So was it bent? That you never even dated Jessica?"

Mayer: "I want to acknowledge that there's two separate things happening. There's the home life that I defend as a guy who's just here to play music, and you don't see me on red carpets like this...and like that."

AH: "You don't even go to red carpets."

Mayer: "Don't go to red carpets. So it's very odd for me and I just basically - it's very uncomfortable for me... There are real crises in the world, there are people who are fighting to keep their house warm and I'm not going to sit here and bite my nails because someone says that I might possibly have gone on a date with a beautiful blond girl. I'm not going to sit here beating myself up over the head with it. But what is challenging to me is that I have a contract with my audience in a way, that I exist - I'm their guy who's just here to play music, you know, and that has never changed. That has certainly not changed in the last 2 weeks and I'm here to play music, you know?"

Re: Mayer addresses Rumors - kind of

I saw him on the Today Show this morning and Matt Lauer asked him about the personal rumors and such and he gave some bass-ackward answer just like this. I mean really, why speak if you are saying nothing?? He would have been better off saying "I prefer not to discuss my private life" and let it lie. Instead he came off as totally incapable of making a sentence...

That was uncomfortable to read, it must have been horrible to watch
