VEDDER JOINS JACK JOHNSON

who borrowed my ass-less chaps? I need to get them back before this.

i hope a volcano erupts!!

I was hoping it'd be like a "PJ/JJ" world tour. That's cool though, always good to encourage people to be Earth conscious. Cuttyfives, keep spreading the hate daily on the jambase boards brother. That's less time you could be out procreating.

yeah cutty fives its a good thing i see you on here daily talking shit when you could be .... i dont know....lookin for a g/f .... its VERY apparent one of those dont exist around you.... keep the good work up

(get a job too)

awesome.

remember that movie "joe versus the volcano"? what a sack of crap.

I love your humor cutty! On a serious note this a good for Hawaii being that it addresses environmental and recycling issues. The islands would look like a big landfill if nobody cared. Forget the lei's, assless chaps for everyone!

negativity aside, something smells fishy and it's not just Jack's upper lip.
come on peeps. are we going to let these musicians get away with this? personally, I think there is nothing cooler than green festies and I will continue to promote/support such causes, but....come on Jack. I'm not sure what you've been puffing on the ALO bus (cough,cou..chagalactic.uh.um), but HEY BRAH, if promoting factory farms, huge corporations and..**FOX**..as "sustainable", "earth/eco friendly" and as "environmental activists" is how you need to get your point across.....well, then point taken.

...this just in..

This summer, Jack Johnson & Queen Latifah will be touring this great country of ours! They are expected to hit 40-50 Wal-Mart Locations and will be supported along the way by Tom Ridge, Anne Coulter and the Sam Walton Big Band!
Tickets will be $85 or $130 after charges. A percentage of the proceeds will go to help with the tax cuts on our countries wealthiest citizens and to help get Jack more of whatever he's been smoking. Of course, the shows are 18 and below ONLY as there will be oreos and purple punch available at a discounted finance charge.
So, come on and PROVE how much you like the planet. Come on...blow your wad on a plane ticket, dump fuel from Florida to Hawaii and stay at an extremely wasteful resort that was built on the beach as soon as they could rape the pristine ocean front land, culture and life. Why, to show the world (or what's left of it) how important the environment is to YOU!

I don't know about you but I'm glad I didn't get my Bioneers ticket yet. F that and touring with HBRSB. Jack Johnson Jacks! I mean rocks. I mean...

être - "The islands would look like a big landfill if nobody cared."

James, I hear what your saying. But, with all do respect, It seems to me that those Islands, as well as it's people and culture would be absolutely, 100% better off if we (Westerners, Americans, etc..) would forget it was ever there. Sure, our tourism provides resources in the means of cash and employment. But those jobs are mostly low paying service jobs, i.e., cleaning up after us tourists. What makes money doesn't always make sense.

good point jalew, but i mean at least the environmental awareness spread by fests like this near balances out all thge airplane fuel, etc. burned to make them happen, maybe, i don't know, hopefully. it's an uphill battle to help balance out the environment amongst human beings, that's for sure.

Aaaahhh...Jalew,how refreshing it is to read comments as realistic and sarcastic as yours with a nice "Punch You In The Eye" sharpness. Although I appreciate JJ's efforts to give back to his homeland, it's not like he's going out of his way, (as he lives on North Shore), or interrupting any 200 night a year tour like the bands that deserve our admiration and dineros. I happened to be out working on Oahu 2 years ago when this event took place and let me tell you, a lot of the locals (who weren't busting thier asses working for the tourists) really don't care for us haule's (pronounced howley) or white mainlanders, as we're known as....and it's not a compliment.Uhhh...and theivywall, pop quiz! How many recycled cans does it take to offset the environmental damage caused by the burning of hundreds of gallons of jet fuel? Don't Know? Let's ask the polar bears who are extra-pissed these days as thier ice is melting faster than a popsicle at Bonaroo, circa 2004. So, if nothing else, please recycle your beer bottles, carpool to the nearest festivals and for God's sake do not waste your money on another Jack Johnson CD/DVD. Thank You

u r absolutely right jalew , this just wont do any good at all , i think the best way to make positive changes is to flood message boards w/ negative comments and bitch about something that isn't as cool as i am.ugggh , so frustrating.... dont forget to litter the roads in and out of town when you are carpooling to the roo'! not to say that you personally would litter , but i have seen some pretty shitty stuff like that at more than just one fest... just seems like these guys are making a real effort..peace in!

did I hear Fox entertainment???

with jack and eddie in the same place the female-male ratio is gonna be great.jack brings out the hotties.most jamband shows are sausage parties,especially the mule.

#1 - "did I hear Fox entertainment???"
- Yes. FOX OWNS myspace.

#2 - "i think the best way to make positive changes is to flood message boards w/ negative comments and bitch about something that isn't as cool as i am.ugggh , so frustrating.... dont forget to litter the roads in and out of town when you are carpooling to the roo'! not to say that you personally would litter"

yo...yo..kizzy,

* I think maybe you misread and/or misunderstood my comments. Not only did I intentionally acknowledge the possibility of your assumptions as "negative", but I also tried to communicate my sincere appreciation for these events. I'm serious too. See..I try to actually process my thoughts and information before I post my comments on the net. This helps me from posting random assumptions and judgments of others.

* As for your interpretation that I was trying to say I am cooler than "something", well...that wasn't my intention and, again, I purposely didn't make any references about how I live my life compared to anyone else.
But,(while I'm defending myself) I can assure you, kizzy, that I put MY thoughts to ACTION everyday. From voting with my dollar to my compost pile, to my CSA membership and beyond. What's that? Yeah you might have seen me VOLUNTEERING at shows. I've Rocked the Earth, as well as Headcount and many a green crew, which leads me to my next point.....

* .....well, unfortunately we haven't met yet. So (unlike you) I will not assume I know you, your values or anything else about your life and how you choose to live it. If you did know me (even just from these boards) I doubt you would come to the same assumptions. I love Jambase. It's a great tool and I use it a lot. At the same time I try to avoid the stereotypes and negativity in the forums. Most of my comments are meant to funny. I'm not 'that guy' and take offense to your characterization of me "littering" on my way to the "roo".

* CLIFF NOTES - Jalew's original point was that we have to protect these (environmental) causes and the terms used to describe them (green, sustainable, eco-friendly, etc..) from Corporations who seek to commercialize and exploit them in the name of $$$. These entities are the part of the problem, not the solution!

jalew youre talking in third person. youre a tool and shut up. everyone else....also shut up. no one cares about you or your shitty sense of music.
