The World's Mellowest Superstar
― Future_Perfect, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 17:29 (eighteen years ago)
Is Jack Johnson really a superstar? Based on what?
I must be more out-of-touch with the mainstream than I thought.
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 5 March 2008 17:30 (eighteen years ago)
When I was in Australia three years ago he was HUGE there, you couldn't avoid him. It was the first time I'd heard of him though.
― chap, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 17:32 (eighteen years ago)
he just spent 3 weeks at the top of the U.S. album charts, and is headlining roughly half of the big festivals this summer.

I read that interview with Jack Johnson the other night, and try as I might I really couldn't hate him as a person as much as I hate his music. I expected his "I'm a mellow surfer dude" schtick to annoy me to no end, but he really comes across as a pretty genuinely down-to-earth dude. Almost made me wish his music wasn't so infuriatingly boring.

some of my best friends would probably make terribly boring records if given the chance, it's not really a good reflection on someone's character.
― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 19:14 (eighteen years ago)
Right, but I expected his whole persona to annoy me, but he comes off pretty likeable.

so does john mayer (xp). I wish these guys made more interesting music! actually I don't, and don't care.

Jack Johnson is even on the Clay Aiken cover too!
― musically, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 19:29 (eighteen years ago)
I don't think I've ever heard a Jack Johnson song. Or an original Clay Aiken song for that matter. I'm neither happy nor sad about this.

ew, that bit of exposed pube hair on the aiken cover

Am I the only one who didn't know that Jack Johnson was white until seeing this cover?

There's <i>a</i> black Jack Johnson, but it ain't this guy.

There is a restaurant in Dublin where the walls are entirely decorated in Rolling Stone covers.

The Fall-Out Boy cover has been made into a poster that you can buy specifically to decorate your walls. Somebody saw this as a money-maker.

the sad thing is that the date of the issue is over a month after the movie's theatrical release, which given RS's shorter biweekly lead times, means that probably isn't true. I actually owned that issue at one point, I think it was at the tail end of the last time I was dumb enough to have a subscription.
