John Mayer ROVE Interview

Before kicking off his 2010 tour, John Mayer does an interview with Rove McManus on ROVE, an Australian TV show. He and the McManus discuss many things, from his constant twittering to his new album. This interview is a lot less serious than his usual interviews, but it was still as equally entertaining. In one part of the interview, Mayer makes fun of himself and his aspirations of becoming a stand up comic. When asked if his new album was a confessional album, Mayer replies by saying that his album was about "Relationships, love, the lack thereof ...being an occasional douchebag and apologizing for it in melody".

I thought this interview was very funny and entertaining. Besides unnecessarily bragging about his Twitter followers, Mayer does not mention anything offensive or rude, making it a lot easier for me to respond to. It is a hilarious yet sincere interview, but unfortunately because there is nothing offensive for people to criticize, I don't think many people would take the time to watch it. He seems so honest and laid back in the interview, like he is talking to a friend rather than a show host. To me, this proves that Mayer is not scared to be himself and give his opinions to anyone. Based on this interview alone, I believe Mayer portrays himself as someone who is genuine, funny, and charming, not as a narcissistic douchebag.
