Jack Johnson - August 3rd - near Barrie

[Cully]

The venue for Lose Yer Shoes was weak last summer (right on the highway!!)

They need to find another site.

[boiler]

I was on the website and I noticed no outside food or drink. I don't really like to camp without my own food and beer.

[boiler]

Sorry, I stand corrected, you can bring food and drink to the campsite.

Are you telling me that you didn't feel at one with nature with those cars zipping by us at 100 km/h?!?!

[Cully]

The speed limit is 90 km/h my friend.

Irie Guy - I'm with you. I enjoy JJ too.

Hey, I've been a solid supporter of JJ since Brushfire FT. This is a guy who is an amazing surfer, invited to Pipeline when he was 17, makes great surf flicks with the Malloys, putting on standout festivals for environmental awareness, scoring music for films and in his spare time built two amazing recording studios where he records music for his friends and himself...not a bad lifestyle at all...

[AD]

i notice you didn't say anything about the songs that he sings. i wouldn't go see a concert by anyone for the reasons you posted that you like the guy, admirable as they are.

[NewRider]

He should have stuck to surfing.

[Hal Johnson]

I like his songs. They're catchy. Plus, i think everyone that hates him is a guy who wishes he had the ability to write songs that women all over over would drop their pants for. Jealousy can be a real bitch.

[NewRider]

Hal Johnson - 2 respect points.

[Hal Johnson]

Im just gonna assume you mean I get 2 respect points. If not, Ill buy you a beer next time I see ya and hopefully all will be forgotten.

[NewRider]

A beer will gain 2 points but you did lose 2 points with that post. Who the hell cares about NewRider's respect point system anyways?!?!?

[Hal Johnson]

Who the hell cares about NewRider's respect point system anyways?!?!?

I do. Because:

Dear NewRider:

There's no combination of words

I could put on the back of a postcard

No song that I could sing

But I can try for your heart

Our dreams, and they are made out of real things

Like a, shoebox of photographs

With sepiatone loving

Love is the answer,

At least for most of the questions in my heart

Like why are we here? And where do we go?

And how come it's so hard?

It's not always easy and

Sometimes life can be deceiving

I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together

[Chorus:]

MMM it's always better when we're together

Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together

Well, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments

Just might find their way into my dreams tonight

But I know that they'll be gone

When the morning light sings

And brings new things

For tomorrow night you see

That they'll be gone too

Too many things I have to do

But if all of these dreams might find their way

Into my day to day scene

I'd be under the impression

I was somewhere in between

With only two

Just me and you

Not so many things we got to do

Or places we got to be

We'll Sit beneath the mango tree now

It's always better when we're together

Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together

Well, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, it's always better when we're together

MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm

I believe in memories

They look so, so pretty when I sleep

Hey now, and when I wake up,

You look so pretty sleeping next to me

But there is not enough time,

And there is no, no song I could sing

And there is no, combination of words I could say

But I will still tell you one thing

We're better together.

[can-o-phish]

i notice you didn't say anything about the songs that he sings. i wouldn't go see a concert by anyone for the reasons you posted that you like the guy, admirable as they are.

Actually, I have all his discs, his soundtracks and live stuff...he's a very talented singer/songwriter...not sure what you're commenting on but then again, you're from O-town

[AD]

you said you liked a big list of things johnson does, but you left out his songs. just thought it was a curious thing to omit, since the topic was a concert.

[NewRider]

If there is one thing I really don't like about Jack Johnson it's his songs! Yeah, his concerts suck. His songs all sound the same though. It drives me up the fucking wall.

[Hal Johnson]

I guess you wont be coming to see my Jack Johnson cover band - John Jackson - then huh?

[NewRider]

Sadly, no.

[Hal Johnson]

Missin out buddy! (anyone wanna start a cover band?)

That may be the funniest thing you've ever posted here Hal.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You still suck though.

[can-o-phish]

This song is about as "angry" as Jack gets , but the lyrics say it all...

Crying Shame

Its such a tired game

Will it ever stop

How will this all play out

Upside out of my mouth

By now we should know

How to communicate instead of coming to blows

We're on a roll

And there ain't no stopping us now

We're burning under control Isn't it strange how

We're all burning under the same sun

By now we say its a war for peace

Its the same old game

But do we really want to play?

We could close our eyes its still there

We could say its us against them

We can try but nobody wins

Gravity has got a hold on us all

We try to put it out

But its a growing flame

Using fear as fuel

Burning down our name

And it wont take too long

Cause words are burning same

And who we gonna blame now?

And oh, Its such a crying shame

By now

Its starting to show

A number of people are numbers who aint coming home

I can close my eyes its still there

Close my mind be alone

Close my heart and not care

But gravity has got a hold on us all

Its a terrific price to pay

But in the true sense of the word

Are we using what we've learned?

In the true sense of the word

Are we losing what we were?

Its such a tired game

Will it ever stop?

Is not for me to say

And is it in our blood?

Or is it just our fate?

And how will this all play out

Upside out of my mouth

And who we gonna blame?

On and on

Its such a crying shame

[boiler]

I wanna see what he's like electric.

[bouche]

if you like Jack Johnson (or even if you don't), you're going to like Jon and Roy

[Jaimoe]

if you like Jack Johnson (or even if you don't), you're going to like Jon and Roy

I'm prepping a review of Jon and Roy's new album, produced by Stephen Franke. My biggest beef with them is their over-use of bongos, altough ANY use of bongos is too much for me.

[bokonon]

Phishtaper and Jaimoe: HIPPIE FIGHT! Why don't you two knock each other over with big bricks of organic tofu? It's shit like this that makes the entire hippie subculture look completely ridiculous and thus people of the mainstream tend to discredit all parts of it, even those parts with validity. Please, stop embarassing (I have no idea how to spell that) yourselves and your compatriots.

Max Webster: I like your attitude!
