Jack Johnson - Live Earth
Jack Johnson - Live Earth
Overview: Jack Johnson, a Jimmy Buffet-type whose lyrics were as appropriate as could be. He seemed to be more of an environmentalist than the other activist acts heard throughout the day, who were mostly anti-war. “How many train wrecks do we need to see/Its bad and getting worse/Where did all the good people go?” Other lyrics, and these are rough takes on the fly, included “Traffic in the sky and its not getting better/It’s enough to make me cry/How could we have known/Its not so hard to tell.” He pointed out a sticker on his guitar that read climatecounts.org where you can check out how big companies rate environmentally.

Shelter
Overview: In 2001 Woodshed Films released their third Moonshine Experiment surf movie entitled “Shelter.” With a similar style and feel to the first two Moonshine Experiments, “Thicker Than Water” and “September Sessions”, “Shelter” is one of Taylor Steele and Chris Malloy’s best productions. This surf movie does a great job of staying far away from the politics of surfing and focuses more on soul surfing. However, don’t think that there aren’t any surfers worth watching in this movie because there are plenty. “Shelter” is jam packed with professional and well-known surfers such as Rob Machado, Taylor Knox, Joel Tudor, Mick Fanning, Dean Morrison, Jack Johnson, The Malloy’s, Kelly Slater, Nat Young, Donavon Frankenreiter, Shane Dorian, Jon Swift and many more. The soundtrack for “Shelter” is similar to “Thicker Than Water” and “September Sessions”. It has a slower and mellower feel, featuring artists such as Mason Jennings, The Shins, White Buffalo and even surfers Jon Swift and Rob Machado.
