I can’t believe John answered Andrew’s questions! I think he is one of the most talented musicians out there today and think his answers are true and up front (minus the Jessica Simpson question)…I would love to see his standup, especially if it is anywhere near as funny as his answer to question 10!

Mayer’s sweet. And he’s puttin the wood to Simpson. Hey Nick, how do you like them apples??

The bar is set pretty high for rest of the writing assignments. Actually, they should just be cancelled, because the grand prize winner is right here, Andrew Miller. True writing talent could only spark such a quick and honest celebrity response to an interview that was once deemed “fake”. Congratulations Andrew!

Yeah,ummmm…. I’m from Rolling Stoned and I was wondering how you got to be known as a guitar god and an intellectual when neither seems to have been confirmed by any actions attributed to yourself. Oh yeah and good luck with the stand up. It’s a sure fit with that exuberant personality you always display. And the Jessica thing? If I was getting Johnny Knoxville’s sloppy seconds I think I’d make that doctor’s appointment right away. Not that I don’t love self-absorbed, pussy-whipped, no-balls music and all….

John Mayer is such an incredible songwriter and his guitar playing is very impressive. This kind of “voluntary” interview he gace with Andrew Miller just shows how in touch he is with music lovers, and how candid he can really be. Congratulations to you, Andrew, for winning the contest. Your interview questions show that you’re well on your way to an exciting journalism career, in any area you may choose.

First of all, well done Mr. Miller. Rolling Stone could use more people like you. Secondly, I am impressed with John Mayer’s honesty, intelligence and sense of humor. Say what you will regarding his music (I’m luke-warm about it), he certainly has his head screwed on straight, which is rare for any celebrity. He is also a real student of music and a true professional. Good man.

Also, I know that the press has to ask personal questions to celebrities, but let the man motorboat those glorious breasts without getting all up in his biznass.

I’ll bet dollars to donuts that Simpson’s got a stanky ass. Perfect rack though.

This was awesome. Hire this man to do your interviews, RS — he’s earned it here.

I must say those were very worthy questions with great answers they weren;t just mid-numbing jabber that John Mayer doesn’t even have to think about. He knows what he’s talking about and keeps me interested. I like it.

The questions were so-so but the answers wound up being really good. Chock it up more to Mayer than to Miller though I guess there’s something to be said for feeding the artists the right material to work with

John Mayer made up this entire thing.

Glad you took time out of your day to read all the questions and answers to an artist that you apparently don’t care for, and you put so much effort into bringing him down. You should just get back to beatin’ off to your gay porn, and stop blowin’ your senseless comments over an exceptional musician.

That was a compliment.

john mayer is lame!

that dude is the most bad ass man in music 2day. tell he’s got his head on straight.

Never lame, but always gettin’ the blame. Gots the power of a tsunami and loves salami.

yeh, just say that john – that’ll get the DEA off your back…and besides; america is not really a democracy anyway, ’cause we can’t really speak about or indulge in the things we all voted for, now can we? – what a shame that is…

heil george! heil alberto! heil dick!…

alberto VO5?

for years, i’ve thought that mayer would be great on staff for rolling stone. i’d much rather read an album review by john mayer than, well, listen to an album by….you get the point.

I’d ask him if Jennifer Love Hewitt takes it up the ass. Otherwise, who cares?

I once was closed minded to the music of John, but today I am a full fledged convert. great songwriting is great songwriting.

look: john mayer is horribly overrated. despite what my name may suggest, i know a lot more about music than the hip-hop gengre.

Is he implying that he smoked weed in the RS interview just so he could look cool? What a bad ass! What a spokesman for the counter culture!

Some of you need to get your heads out of your asses. The guy can play guitar, I’ll give you that, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. I can name 15 guitarists in 20 seconds that can play laps around John Mayer, maybe not technically speaking, but the blues is more about FEELING than anything.
And don’t get me started on that voice of his.

Just my .02 cents

True writing talents require more than snappy interviewing, no? It’s not hard to come up with 10 questions for your favorite artist. But if he had 10 questions for say, Merle Haggard, how would Miller fare?

i’d do him

I was kicin’ back listening to Heavier Things, enjoying a good whisky. I put the darn thing on repeat so that I didn’t have to get up outta my recliner, and damn near woke up with a heart attack. Did that there Mayer boy do that on purpose? He’ll sing ya to sleep like a babe, but wake ya up worse than a fire alarm.

Cooter are you talking about Homer or Bart?

hey y’all crown royal! thank y’all for taking me out of my’s caleeforn-eye-ay element – y’all makin’ me feels like i’m in the south agin er somethin’…

Is it possible to appreciate artistry and not the individual? That’s how I feel about JM–love the music, not the man. I just can’t get past the fact that he’s dating that bimbo, Jessica Simpson (who wouldn’t know good music if it smacked her in the face). Being with her is an insult to Mayer’s intelligence.

Let the man grope whomever he wants. He can play guitar better than any pop musician today and doesn’t get the credit. But he knows music. Did anyone else read his Rolling Stone article on Jimi Hendrix? Let’s give the man some credit

I agree with ChubbyBunny, I just can’t understand why someone who appears to be as intelligent, and interesting could be with a dumb-dumb like Jessica Simpson. It just doesn’t make any sense to me. Although, the answers to the 10 questions were entertaining, I don’t think I’m a JM fan anymore

okay, i take back that last comment about not being a JM fan anymore. i’ve tried to hate him, i really have, but he’s such an amazing artist. and to the person below who wrote about how it’s not hard to write 10 questions for your favorite artist, i agree with you, but still it takes some talent to come up with original questions like that. after all, you can’t get any good answers without good questions…okay, that’s kind of obvious. i’m done, ha.

Thanks for agreeing, BeatheGirl. And I agree, Mayer’s gift is undeniable. I think the most amazing thing about him is the influence he’s had on other musicicans. I’m constantantly seeing these preppy upstarts trying to imitate everything about JM; from the way he taps his foot, to the way he plays. I don’t think a true ARTIST–and I use that word sparingly–could ask for anything more.

i can’t believe john mayor is turning 30 and smokes weed. that’s awesome. i also can’t believe he actually wrote back to those questions, that were very good by the way :]

er… britt, i think he said he was no longer a weed enthusiast. he tried something new and found the old worked for him even better. been there done that.

have to day though, that these are some GREAT questions. original, and kind of personal but not crossing the line. more comfortable than anything. kudos.

He is a pretentious boob. Undeniably talented both musically and intellectually…but, yeesh – what a self-centered, self-involved whiner. (and the fact that he has brains and wit makes it worse – - being a smart douchebag is a far bigger crime than being a dumb a-hole.) Perhaps time and life will improve him. I deduce he and those like him have spent way too much time navel-gazing.

I love how some of you people have the time to whine about something you dont love. Wouldnt you rather not waste the energy? (confusing). For the record Im a huge fan of John’s music – its real, as he is, (which seems as though it may offend some people but so be it). Glad to actually see that people hate him cause it means theres alot more to go around for those that dont.

hello RollingStones’s fans…i’m gunard, from Indonesia.
I want to tell about band from Indonesia named Javastones was hard-fans of RollingStones.
JavaStones’s story about first born exactly the same with RollingSones. All the personel’s band of JavaStones had been known each other since kindegarden class till all of them becomed band.
In this chance, i just wanna tell if in Indonesia, there were a band that called JavaStones which was it’s history the same with RollingStones.
Rock’n Roll RollingStones 4ever.

I also think that John Mayer is one of the most talented musicians there is today. His unique stlye and music is awesome.
