We've already heard what Diplo had to say about Katy Perry's infamous ex-sex ranking during her 96-hour WITNESS Headquarters live stream. Now, it's John Mayer's turn to sound off, as per his new interview with Rolling Stone magazine. 

In his discussion with the outlet, the singer/songwriter offered his thoughts on the headline-making bit, which saw Perry rank Mayer at the top, followed by Orlando Bloom and, lastly, Diplo. "I don't have a cool-enough thought for you," he said. "I've hacked this game. I pay very little of the price of fame now. I get to play the music that moves me the most. I'm having the time of my life. I'm 39 — I remember 32. I don't wanna do it again."

Elsewhere in the conversation, Mayer shared his thoughts on his influence amongst the young pack of pop stars, including Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes. "I didn't see it coming. We don't realize that every five years a motherf**ker is born into the world of music," he explained. "I don't apply as much from the blues world to my music as I'd like to, but there's a lot to be applied from the blues world spiritually on this: Those guys are me. I looked up to Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan. All my heroes were awesome to me, so there's a contract to make the new guys feel accepted."
