Once they make that connection, they can start to build upon that.
Jack Johnson
What about your mind, does it shine?
Jack Johnson
The fight between life and death is to the finish, and death ultimately is the victor . . . I do not deplore the passing of these crude old days.
Jack Johnson
If it seems like you are playing around and not practicing, that's when you know you really love it.
Jack Johnson
Go to the east shore of any of the Hawaiian Islands, and that's a pretty big lesson on how much plastic is ending up in the ocean. Basically, the Hawaiian Islands act as a filter out in the middle of the Pacific.
Jack Johnson
When you move like a jellyfish rhyth don't mean nothing. You go with the flow, you don't stop. Move like a jellyfish, rhythm means nothing.You go with the flow you don't stop.
