HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Leave it to John Mayer to break down the Tiger Woods affair scandal.
In an interview with The Independent, the musician argues that the embattled golfer's biggest failure had nothing to do with hiding from the media.
"Tiger Woods' problems come from him being married. The end," Mayer tells the British paper. "It has nothing to do with control. If Tiger Woods was a single guy, what sort of angle would there be to a text message? If Tiger Woods was single, and he texted a girl and said 'I wanna wear your ass like a hat', why would that ever hit the news?"
As for his own life, Mayer has no problem "sexting" being that he's a single guy these days.
"I can text whatever I want to anybody in the world; I'm not married," he says. "I write a lot of dirty text messages to girls, and you've never seen any of them. Why? Because if a girl brought a dirty text message from me to the newspapers, they'd say 'I don't have an angle here. Someone wants to wear your ass like a hat? Big deal. He's 32 years old. He's a single guy. If John Mayer has a wife and sends dirty texts, then we got a story.' And that's why I won't do that."
"When I get married that's gonna be my vows, 'Do you, John Mayer, take this woman to have and to hold, to wear her ass like headgear?' Yes, I do – you're the one whose ass I wanna wear like a hat for the rest of my life," he adds.
As for his own image getting bashed in the tabloids, Mayer confesses that he's thankful someone else came along to lighten the attacks.
"With this whole Tiger Woods situation," he says, "I wish more people would be like, 'You know what, Mayer? You didn't f--- up at all.' "
