I'd say that's a better award than a Grammy. Then again, I've always liked Jack Johnson and had a lot of respect for him.

I'm sure his bitter rival, John Jackson, will win it instead.

Good for him. His music is terrible, almost up to Dave Matthews Band-esque levels of suck, but this is pretty cool.

Happiness is a good mix of Jack Johnson, Joe Purdy, and John Prine, a good glass of scotch and a decent cigar, a comfortable porch rocker by a lake or slow river, and a handful of close friends on hand to help you watch the night roll away.

Jack Johnson is the result of Carly Simon aborting James Taylor's baby in the third trimester.

Jack Johnson, while not necessarily bad at music, is boring and VERY repetitive. All his songs sound the same.

please die.

sincerely,

everyone with taste in music

From what I hear... I need to go to a Jack Johnson concert, just for the weed.

Odd thing is, that is his real name. I think, if I remember correctly, his agent talked him into changing it from John Jackson, which sounded too bland and common.

I occasionaly wear a Miles Tribute to Jack Johnson t shirt. (makes me look soo kul, omg) Some /most dust farters get the reference. It often confuses the younger set...
"Miles is down with Jack? Cool man!"
Yep. Correct Miles. Wrong Jack.
Bravo for the younger JJ. I have beened stoned enough to let the reverb tails take me to lala land. Yes. His music puts me to sleep.
I cannot have any argument with people who use their talents to do good things. I will be stoked tomorow, when at 4:15, my co-worker lights up uberwatts and cranks the same JJ Jam. Not kidding and not hating. It's the one that goes weedly wee, 2 and 4 and Weedly weedly-wee 2 and 4 AND ONE! "Bah bah dooby day ump um baba doobie..."

That it will. Put it on a mix tape for a girl I was just starting to see....bingo.

Jack's good. He'll continue to play what he wants.

Imagine that, a Birkenstock rocker winning an environmental award. Will wonders never cease!

Uzzah: "I won the what, now?"

My thoughts exactly.

How about a tribute..

"have you heard about jack johnson, he's a hero in this land.
i don't like to sing about boxing but i hope you'll understand.
it was the 1st year they gave the heavyweight to a black man
and in 1908 it ain't so easy.
he was born right after slavery died,
right after reconstruction died,
born right after none of that stuff really died at all.
he would walk down the streets wearing gold & diamonds,
always hold his head up high,
& he never had to say yes sir or no sir
to the white folks as they passed him by, or as he passed them by.
so the great white hope was pulled out of retirement
to nurse the bruised & shattered white pride.
& when johnson beat him down there wasn't a man around at his side.
when the fight was over there was beatings & murders,
the worst race riot this country has seen.
all because they didn't want a black man winning in their ring.
who said heroes had to be role models anyway."

I really like Jack Johnson. I was not impressed with his last album though. I'm alright with the more laid back songs, but not only is every song on the album slow as hell they're also freaking depressing.

Jack Johnson is a pocketful of suck.

I'm a big fan of his "feet shoes"

More like a Mental Award.

/Zing!
