Simplicity is boring, I want something I can't replicate easily.

If that's how you like your apples, then good for you! Go make some cider...

That lends to respect and a much more deeper understanding of the music and what kinda effort went into it. I don't wanna listen to some guy who got stoned and ****ed around on the guitar. I wanna listen to someone who put real effort into his music.

Complicated musical arrangements paradoxically don't mean that there is deeper musical understanding. Merely, it shows the preference of an individual's musical taste. It has nothing to do with effort. I find that a good tune requires inspiration, whereas the intricateness that you are describing requires perspiration. I prefer inspiration, myself...I guess you like man-sweat. That's cool...Each to their own...

Thanks for proving my point...
You misinterpreted the lyrics, If you understood them you'd understand that the first half is sarcasm, while the latter half, and in the song the more passionate half is about letting it go...

What you call so eloquently as "man-sweat" I call quality.
If you like Pre-packaged MTV McBand's then so be it...

Ohh...I thought it was the other way round! Passion first, sarcasm second!

I'll match your 'man-sweat' and raise you 'indifference'. I like the term 'MTV McBands' that you use...It's ironic, or something...

Adventures in obscurity?

Second, I love how you obviously took the most angry sounding verse from a song I'm sure you've never heard, and completely failed at a non existant attempt to understand the actual message. Use of the "f word" does not render lyrics unintelligible or stupid.

Adventures in futility?

Third, nobody is claiming Trent Reznor is a great lyricist. He's slightly above average at best. Hell, YOU'RE the one who brought this up in the first place, like I said, without prior knowledge of Tpt even being a fan of his.

Adventures in boredom?

There's simple music and then there's boring music. Our friend Jack Johnson is of the latter variety.

AHA! An adventure in ignorance. A place you know and love...

How cute. Actually, that's not ignorance, that's an opinion. Your asinine attempt at understanding poetry is more ignorant.

zzzzzZZZZZZZZZZ

Your opinion stinks like that ass-of-mine(say it 2 times fast) you'rE always going on about.

Is there anyone out there who actually likes Jack Johnson other than me, koolruningz and that dude with a fish in his hair?

Oh and a bunch of stoned teenagers,
What great company...

WOW...Are you a plurality? I didn't know you were stoned, but I had guessed you are teenager...

Cheers mate. 🙁

I've heard his name before but never heard any of his music.

Err... Tpt was saying exactly the opposite of that. That the people on the opposite end of the Jack Johnson-fandom spectrum from him are mostly stoned teenagers. Probably not true, but you still completely failed to understand what he meant.

Definitely not true.

Meh, Where I come from there is a direct corralation between amount of pot smoked, and amount of positive feeling towards Jack Johnson

Oh really? Your right. What he said was way over my head. I'm pleased to see that you didn't get confused at all with what I said...

I didn't know that your ass smoked pot! At least it has good taste in music...

Afro Cheese...Despite what Tweedle Darth and Tweedle Tpt say, Jack Johnson's tunes are chilled-out, relaxed and perfect for the summer. Just try it, you might like it...

Nobody's claiming Jack Johnson's music isn't chilled out and relaxed, just that we don't like it.

You are a strange, beautiful flower.

Sometimes I like some power in my tunes, but when I don't, I listen to Jack...It's drifty, floaty and light...Perfect for chillin' to.

I listen to chilled-out music too, Mr. Johnson just isn't to my liking. Incubus and Sublime are two of my favorite bands, and if you don't know who they are, you don't deserve to. 😉

Incubus are great. 👆
I can understand why some people dont like Jack but i definitely wouldnt group him with the mindless artists that occupy most of MTV's air time. His songs to me are heartfelt and honest. He lives in Hawaii and surfs all day, obviously his music is going to reflect his lifestyle.
