He is awesome. “Brushfire Fairytales” is a great album. I have listened to it at least once a day since I got it in December. Good shit!

I love Jack Johnson.

In case you aren’t familiar with him, he used to be a pro surfer and he made a buch of surfing videos. I think he’s from Hawaii but he’s “white.”

Anyways, that CD is **so** good. I heard that he was on the Tonight Show last week so that should up his visibility. They play “Flake” on the radio sometimes and try to hype it but I don’t know if it’s catching on; I only catch it as I scan the dial.

That CD is really chill and would be great for “romantic encounters.”

Best song on _Brushfire Fairytales_ is probably “F-Stop Blues.” I like it at least.

Not to mention an inspiration for one of my favorite Miles Davis fusion albums.

He’s been getting a lot of exposure here in SF on KFOG. They have a link to a [live online concert](http://www2.warnerbros.com/web/wblcs/concert.jsp?concert=jack_johnson)  
I’ve enjoyed the couple tracks I’ve heard so far on the radio.

I’ve also enjoyed the songs I’ve heard on the radio. I know a few people who have his album, and I’ve never heard anything bad about it.

Since you’re giving it the thumbs up, too, I think I’ll put it on my Amazon wish list!

Now I’ve got that bubble toes song in my head!
