though to be fair the reason he's suddenly attaining media attention is due to the recent trend of singer-songwriter's.

Good evening i unzipped my skin
thankfully unscrewed my head
exactly as i always do when i prepare myself for bed
and while i slept this co-co came as naked as could be
he put on the skin and screwed on the head
that once belonged to me

yeh i agree that since he released inbetween dreams this year and...not turned mainstream, but got alot more publicity then usual, it does come across that hes just become a writter over night and is copying every1 else, but hes been doing it his whole life pretty much, so it is a passion, not just a label to make himself look more superior n better to all the other musicians out there

ya know...i say go with vanilla and splurge and buy all of them. there are good and not so good things about every album but overall you cant really be disappointed.

although i will admit, i heard a song of his on the radio the other day, i think it might have been a cover of something, and it didnt sound as real as the rest of his stuff.

I'm blaming all of my depression and angst issues on Jack Johnson. He makes me miserable.
