John Mayer: ‘I’m Making A Fool Of Myself’
John Mayer was an honoree at the VH1 Music Awards Benefit and decided he didn't need a telepromper. Or did he?
At Monday evening's VH1 Save the Music benefit, honoree John Mayer turned the attention to his favorite subject: himself.
"They asked me if I wanted to load something in the teleprompter, but I've been doing so well lately, I might as well keep going," said Mayer, who was dressed in a blazer and an untucked grey shirt that he had buttoned to the top. It was true: The teleprompter was, for Mayer's speech only, completely blank. Mayer — who brought along College Humor founder Ricky Van Veen as his date — was introduced by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz. So maybe he was in a boys-will-be-boys mood from the moment he got there.
"I'm not philanthropic by nature," he said, noting that all his charitable efforts were due in part to his managers. And then: "Did you know you can send wine to someone after they give birth? I had no idea until I met [manager and former ATO Records president] Michael McDonald. He said, 'Let's send them a bottle of wine.' Wow! She just gave birth to a child. Vaginally. I get it now! So now I send bottles of wine." He hung his head: "Julie Andrews is here ... and I'm making a fool of myself."
