Jack Johnson: A Revolutionary Artist!

I had just yesterday watched a show about Jack Johnson - my favorite artist - at the Downtown theater in my town, and watched a special premier of his new biography movie Jack Johnson En Concert. He went on his biggest tour ever to Europe ranging from countries France to Germany. He played amazing songs, and was great live! It showed great times of him hanging out with the other artists he toured with, and while he was in Munich, he was able to walk to a river that had a small fault and was climbing inland. Which means, that there were some pretty awesome waves to catch! There were about two sidewalks running alongside the river, and the length of the two sidewalks across the river may have been about 8 meters, more or less.
They surfed the waves and took turns, and it pretty muched showed how Jack and his buddies are skilled not only in music, but in surfing and wipeouts. :)
After the concert, they held a raffle drawing for a couple of merchandise and a Fender acoustic guitar signed by Mr. Johnson, and a special surfboard that only LESS THAN 50 WERE MADE, and he signed one of them! Which made it all the more priceless!!!!
I was sad that I didn't win anything, it would have been nice to play a guitar and be inspired that it was once held by Mr. Jack Johnson. :\ Oh well.
After, he played for us, and played every single song that the whole audience did not know. Which I found amusing. He didn't know any of the songs we were requesting and screaming: Taylor, Upside Down, If I Had Eyes, Sitting Waiting Wishing, etc. He tried to play some of them for us, but it ended up to be a disaster, and I was smiling the whole time.
One of the audience members came up to the microphone when it was question time, and said,
"I work with autistic kids, and actually one kid has two answers that are solid when he's asked this question: Who's your favorite singer? 'Jack Johnson.' And what's your favorite song by him? 'Better Together'." Everyone in the audience was like, Awww!!!! So since she was at the Jack Johnson premier of his movie, she wanted to get an autograph, so Jack was smiling and said, "Sure, that'd be easy."
I'm not sure if she ever got the autograph, but I'd be so happy for that little kid!!!!
:) Anyway, here's my review for the movie:

The movie was of classic view, shots, and editing, and when the mixture of Mr. Jack Johnson's music and the movie scenery come together, it creates a serene, relaxed, and down-to-earth environment that is enjoyable and enlightening for the audience to see. Jack Johnson En Concert was one of the best movies that I've seen since Pride and Prejudice starring Keira Knightley.
