I love every song on this cd.

I totally recommend it to everyone.

You can listen for free at launch.com to 3 of his songs.

I just got turned onto JJ and I love him I even got to see a live show in Bend Oregon with G-loove and the Special Sauce it rocked!!

One of my favorite lines:
When you move like a jelly fish rythm is nothing you go with the flow you don't stop.

linky, linky for all who want to read about and see him

And some lyrics

i would turn on the tv, but its so embarrassing
to see all the other people, i dont know what they mean
it was magic at first, when they spoke without sound
but now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn that thing down
turn it around

it wasnt me, says the boy with the gun
sure i pulled the trigger, but it needed to be done
because lifes been killing me ever since it begun
you cant blame me because im too young

you cant blame me, sure the killer was my son
but i didnt teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
its the killing on his tv screen
you cant blame me, its those images he seen

you cant blame me, says the media man
i wasnt the one who came up with the plan
i just point my camera at what the people want to see
its a two way mirror and you cant blame me

you cant blame me, says the singer of the song
or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
its only entertainment, as anyone can see
its smoke machines and makeup, you cant fool me

it was you, it was me, it was every man
weve all got the blood on our hands
we only receive what we demand
and if we want hell then hells what well have

i would turn on the tv, but its so embarrassing
to see all the other people, dont know what they mean
it was magic at first, but let everyone down
and now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn it around
turn it around

for the mother of a three and a half year old, as jack says...

"what will be will be"..."on and on and on and on and on...."

i find myself repeating this song many times some mornings!

i LOVE his music and he was just here on maui about three months ago and my dh and i actually left ds with auntie to be put to sleep, (this was a huge first). it was the first "grown up" thing we had done in a very very long time. anyways, we had a BLAST listening/dancing to donovan frankenreiter (another wonderful musician) as his opening act. and we were blown away at the positive message and energy that was flowing throughout the theatre. he also showed a 20 min preview of his surf film, "Brokedown Melody" which looks wonderful. It is about preserving the surf world/culure for the keiki's (children). if you see it playing anywhere near you, check it out as well as jack in concert.

I second going to see him live!!! He's awesome. I've been listening to Jack Johnson for a few years now and I love his music. I also have to agree he's not too bad to look at either
much love

You wouldn't believe how many times I've listened to Brushfire Fairytales lately! My ds requests Jack Johnson every time we are in the car. I'm thinking of taking that one into the house and bringing On and On to the car for a little change. Is it true that his new cd is out already? Haven't checked into it yet.

I'm pretty sure his new one came out yesterday. It is called "In Between Dreams". I think I'm going to run out and get it this weekend. I him.
I've been listening "On and On" in the car lately. Can't find my "Brushfire Fairytales". I would love to see him live.
post #11 of 11
Yep, In Between Dreams was out on Tuesday, and I would definitely recommend it! (Although, really, it's pretty much the same as his other two.. consistency is nice, right? Love one, love them all!)

We saw him live when I was 7 1/2 months pregnant. He was great, but my daughter seemed to prefer G. Love! Lots of "dancing!" :LOL
