John Mayer weighs in on viral friendship speculation with Andy Cohen
Andy Cohen’s viral interview about his friendship with John Mayer, the musician has weighed in on the discourse himself.The “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” hitmaker, 46, has long been friends with the Bravo honcho, who is openly gay, but their friendship prompted much speculation in recent years.Now, the singer has chimed in to set the record straight on the nature of their friendship and slammed The Hollywood Reporter for posing the “deeply flawed” question.Addressing the publication’s co-editor-in-chief Maer Roshan, who conducted the interview with Cohen, Mayer criticized Roshan for bringing up the question in the first place.“I read your interview with Andy Cohen, and was intrigued by your line of questioning regarding our friendship,” the guitarist began.“You posited that ‘your friendship with Mayer has been a subject of intense speculation. People seem dubious that a straight rock star can have a close platonic relationship with a gay TV personality.’ I think this is somewhat of a specious premise.”“First, there is a long and storied history of “rock stars” (not mocking, just won’t refer to myself as one) befriending gay icons and artists,” he continued.“Second, I think that to suggest that people are dubious of a friendship like mine and Andy’s is to undermine the public’s ability to accept and understand diversity in all facets of culture, be it in art or in real life.”Mayer said he hopes the public is “sophisticated enough” to accept the fact that the pair’s friendship is strictly platonic.“That turns the concept of being gay into an ignorantly two-dimensional one, which I know you know it’s not.

Beatles scions James McCartney and Sean Ono Lennon take us from ‘Strawberry Fields’ to ‘Primrose Hill’ on new single: review
The Beatles released their debut single in the UK, 1962’s “Love Me Do,” as the first of many classic songs written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, their offspring have come together to bring back their tune-making magic.“Primrose Hill,” the new single by James McCartney — Sir Paul’s only son, with his late wife Linda — was co-written by Sean Ono Lennon, John’s youngest son from his marriage to Yoko Ono.And the next generation does their papas proud on this wistful beauty of a ballad that recalls some of the nostalgic reverie of “Now and Then” — which was released to much fanfare in November as the last Beatles song (and their first new tune since 1996).Released on Friday, “Primrose Hill” — which is a public park north of Regent’s Park in London — is the first-ever collaboration between McCartney, 46, and Lennon, 48.And if any song could sound just like taking a bittersweet stroll in the park with nothing but your longing memories, then this one pretty much captures it.There’s instantly something familiar about it — both the dreamy moodiness and McCartney’s lilting delivery — but it never seems to fall into Beatles mimicry.Nor does it ever reach the reach the heights of Beatles transcendence — I mean, how could it?The lyrics almost border on lovesick cliche at one point: “Forever’s not long enough to be loving you/Forever and a day/I look into your eyes, it’s such a great surprise/You take my breath away.”But if you just lose yourself in the warm, woozy feeling, you’ll get over that.And the bluesy guitar that comes in at the end adds a nice bite to the bliss.“ ‘Primrose Hill’ is here!” McCartney wrote in a post on Instagram, alongside a photo of him and Lennon.
