Video: Jack Johnson Live at the BPP
Jack Johnson got serious about writing songs after a surfing accident at the infamous Banzai Pipeline. Known to pro surfers simply as "the Pipeline," the Hawaiian reef break has claimed the lives of many who have tried to hang ten on its massive waves. Johnson survived his rough go with 150 stitches and four lost front teeth. While recovering, he put aside his pro surfing aspirations and planted the seeds for what would become a remarkable career as a musician.
Four hit albums later, Johnson continues to amass scores of fans who are drawn to his unique brand of acoustic rock. He dropped by the BPP a while back to play a few tunes off of his latest effort, Sleep Through The Static. Here's Johnson doing the title track off that record:
