Jack Johnson

Today brought me back to the Gorge for a Jack Johnson concert. For those who don’t know who Jack Johnson is, one of the crew put it best when asked that question saying “Jack Johnson is music that makes women wet, kinda like John Mayer, but more”. Now that made perfect sense to me, and although it is not true for every woman, I am sure that every guy that got dragged to that concert did get some that night. As for the music, It was good enough that I didn’t mind listening to it, but I definitely wouldn’t have paid to go see that. Songs like “I wanna lay you down” and “Do you like my pecs?” makes you really wonder about what’s happening to the world of music sometimes.
Johnson did contribute a very nice cover of Sublime’s “Bad Fish” to the recently released Sublime Tribute Album, and as part of his encore, I do have to say it was the strong point of his performance.The Gorge was sold out for his show though (23 000), and every one on the crew was amazed by this fact, saying that this was the best selling show all season (then again, Pearl Jam is coming up in a couple of weeks and I’ve heard that tickets are going for about $400 on Ebay right now)
