AN, Interview By Austin Scaggs

Jack Johnson grew up by the beach all his life. He was addicted to surfing as a little kid.
He has a short touring season, so he could spend some time surfing, staying home and relaxing. He has a simple life, he has no TV, small house, and he loves to go out doors. Every time his done performing he puts his guitar down, life just brings songs to him, and words just start coming to his head. After that he makes wonderful music.

And he make a new album, and it was dedicated to his friends from collage.
It was named "Sleep though the static." And he spends most of his time in the outs, like fishing, kayaking, swimming, yard work, surfing, looking at the waves just sitting, and relaxing.

Jack Johnson needs privacy to be happy, and happy with with his family. When he was a teenager he used to ditch his classes and go surfing with his friends. One time just before Prom he went surfing and he wiped out and hit the reef on the bottom of the beach. So he came home with a busted lip, and broken teeth. And one girls wanted to go to the prom with him, because he look like a elephant man. Thats what he said. And he learned how to play a guitar around the camp fire. Thats it.
