Jack Johnson Webcast 4/25

great guy and all, but what on earth did he do to become so popular all of a sudden? i remember his first few albums and they were pretty good and pretty much the same as his last few and now he is like king of the festies. i give him props, dont get me wrong, i wish i was getting paid like him, but is it not strange to anyone else?

I'm with slewell - I'm not gettin' it. I thought the first album was sort of cool then after that - snoozeville. I think he just has one hell of an agent.

Oh jee goly gosh! Thank you for this oh so amazing webcast!

hip hip hooray!

Its Wednesday and this is the first time I've heard the name Jack Johnson this week?!?!?! Jeez, Jambase is slacking.

boooo!!!

Broadcast this on the Who-Gives-A-Shit Channel.

fuck u losers. This guy rules. His new album rules!!!

no he doesnt and no it doesnt

"What is so jamband about a rhythm guitar?"

Listen to The Who and get back to us.

And if JJ "rules" so to does Amy Weinhouse, Cheryl Crow, Counting Crows and a million other "meh" artist.

you people are funny... internet debate about a performer you don't care about. laughable

i skip his songs on pandora

I'm writing a paper for a final and I come on to JamBase for a distraction. No offense, but a lot of you have way too much time on your hands and spend it forming way too many close-minded opinions but pretend that you are an open-minded individual. I'm not really a Jack Johnson fan. But shit. You and I both know that if everyone else in the mainstream world didn't know jack Johnson, we'd all be toking up at his shows and claiming he's like James Taylor + surfing - ska. Get over the fact that not everyone agrees with your musical taste, get over your obsession with pseudo-counterculturism and just live life.

ha ha ha ha

Did some worthless douchbag just compare Jack Johnson and Amy Winehouse to Sheryl Crow and Counting Crowes?? Come on I know you guys dont know much about music but that's ridiculous. You guys get pissed when I go on RadioSnooze boards and talk shit but you do the same thing. I dont get it. Regardless of your ignorance it's good to see Big Brother's anti First Amendment guidelines are being ignored.

Getting so super mellow.

songs to sleep to.

Jack Johnson was good, I'm not fond of his new cd. Brushfire Fairytales was the best cd, most of the songs were awesome, and subsequently I thought Jack Johnson was awesome...but this was back when, 2001?

Thank you whoknowswhy for the JJ Casuals comment! MADE MY DAY!

ha ha - i knew bonnaroo to rothbury had horrible taste in music, but i didn't know he was down with poppin his collar on his izod shirt. bet you can't wait for that DMB headling spot at rothbury, huh sport?

it's a good thing they are broadcasting his coachella perforance since he isn't playing every other god damn festival this entire summer....wouldn't wanna miss anything.

Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, Ben Harper, John Mayer....That whole style is complete garbage....It's very effeminate and weak...Rock and Roll has really taken a turn for the worse.

Im in agreement with most of everyone here, I have nothing against Johnson and I enjoy some of his music but I really dont get how the hell he is getting all these big slots at the festies this summer. its disgusting and shitty.

wouldnt pay to see jack johnson solo...but there are always exceptions, him w/ donovan and G-Love is decent....same for john mayor, majority of his stuff is shit but his jazz trio stuff is down right nasty, and if you've seen clip from jammys w/ him and buddy guy you know he has potential for jam/jazz recognition

Whats an Izod shirt? And yes I am excited about DMB at Rothbury. They're awesome. I have bad taste in music?? Have you even looked at my fave artists?? Who do u listen to LCD Soundsystem??? Ween?? Fuck off.

Bonaroo to Rothbury you're about as mainstream and fraty as they come, brah

Yeah, I saw Mayer try to play with Buddy Guy...It was said watching that kid try to keep up with him. I almost felt sorry for him.

Sorry music snobs. I guess you have to tweek out to Bisco to be able to evaluate music.

Bunch-a-deuches.com would better suited for your time than coming on every board to trash people.

I guess I thought I knew everything when I was 20 as well.

Ive been seeing Jack since 01', he really blew up after 'In Between Dreams' got some radio play, but seriously he doesnt try to be something he is not... He's a simple guy with simple mellow grooves, and catchy lyrics that lots of people can relate to...Music to me, is whatever moves the soul, weather its jamband music or not!!! As far as jambase covering Jack Johnson, come on, theyve covered crazier things, its all connected, i feel sorry for people who limit themselves to one scene.....

And marcsmall, I was @ the jammys when buddy guy played with john mayer, and buddy refered to him as the guy that is going to keep blues music alive in the future, he ripped it up, you dont know what the hell you are talkin about!!!!!!

I dont think people are reacting negatively to this because of jack johnsons music, people are reacting negatively because HE IS OVERSATURATING THE MARKET. and by the way LCD = (.)(.)'s

Yeah, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, but you're the one who listens to Mayer.

Those tits are awsome. Let's see if you can make them bigger though. ( . )( . )Hell Yeah!

maybe he hates doing festivals and someones making him???

Its been almost 3 years since this guy has toured, yes way back in 2005 and already there are haters popping out of nowhere. I was at the first original Bonnaroo when Jack played and everyone in the audience was grooving to it and having a blast, now everyone wants to hate on Jack, for what? for being himself. Who's next to shoot down Ben Harper or maybe you guys want to go after his buddy Eddie Vedder. Expand your music people.

If you can't figure out why he's playing all the big fests, well I think it has to do with ticket sales. As far as his music goes, I think it's boring as shit. I liked Ben Harper ok, and sort of still do but I don't need another one. I classify it under "music I will not talk shit about around my girlfriend". But sometimes I still do.

"Expand your music people.".. I don't know if I would call listening to mainstream pop artists who are played all over the radio "expanding your music" That's just silly.

If only Jack Johnson's music was as good as his surfing. The guy rips! Was surfing in Hawaii and saw him dropping into bombs at Pipeline. The guy is a mad man while surfing. I think his music is so mellow to balance that out.

Music Fest are a business! Jack Johnson appeals to more people than your favorite little niche band. Get it. Its not hard to figure out - who can bring more butts to the festie.. All you haters can continue your rants and be jealous of Jack Johnson a great songwriter and performer. He gets more pussy than all you too!!!
