We get a similar plea from Jimmy Buffett's zombies, who show up around those of us actually living in the subtropics for ten days a year to throw up in our gardens and yell songs about relaxing in the streets at three in the morning. How can lameness be so aggressive?

Can he just keep surfin' and stop to make records ???
the problem is his songs are "nice" , chill, and it always reminds the summer because of the surfer background and the I-like-to-jam-with-my-friends-on-the-beach style music  ..
maybe If he could record his voice in a different way, it would be better for him... and for everybody.

true.

He is a rather bland musician.

My girlfriend says that anytime she sees that album cover she wants to punch JJ in the face.

I don't feel quite as strongly as her, but I will settle with giving this a 3.

I guess since there is no surfing or ocean front beaches upon which to have a campfire in the desert I may never be able to relate to Mr. Johnson's music. But in all fairness, even if I did surf and live near the ocean, I still wouldn't rush out to buy his albums.

And that can be some of the best music. I appreciate musically diverse and challenging tunes, but sometimes I just wanna kick back . . . and this is the music for those times.

He gets his courage from the can,
It makes him feel like a man
Because he's loving all the ladies
But the ladies don't love him at all

Cause when he's not drunk
He's only stuck on himself
And then he has the nerve
To say he needs a decent girl

Here's the thing about Jack...he's a surfer first, a musician second. He doesn't pretend that his songs are the greatest thing since sliced bread. He plays stuff that make him feel good and doesn't necessarily have some deeper meaning. The fact that his music has taken off just means that sometimes that's all people want as well. As a bit of a music snob myself, my hard shell was melted when I went with my girl to see him live and realized there ain't nothing wrong with chilling out for a few hours. There's plenty of room for Jack Jackson in the big picture of it all. Chillax my firends. Chillax...


Exactly...but that philosophy is lost on many...and not just about music...
