Jack Johnson Covers Josh Duhamel

Jack Johnson's new album In Between Dreams came out today, and MSN decided to toss his new video for 'Sitting Waiting Wishing' on their video highlights for all to check out. Now, I once recognized this guy just by seeing a picture of the back of his head during a room search at Oakley, and this video once again reminds me why Jack is a worthy celeb crush. I mean, look at him...tall, perfect tan surfer body, adorable smile on a softly chiseled and bright eyed face...seriously hard to stop ogling. I think I will put in a bid for him on eBay and then frame him in a shadow box with a guitar and never let him go.

So not only has Jack Johnson proven himself a talented and accomplished musician with three quality albums, he also makes films, used to surf professionally, and stays quietly out of the lame Hollywood spotlight. Instead he makes his home one mile from where he grew up in Hawaii with his equally beautiful wife, records music in his sound proofed garage, and surfs his days away. He also appears to have an appreciation for the simple things in life...tunefully mocks television, pollution, and technological over-advancements, and he's even putting on a show in Bend, Oregon this August...a lovely mecca of nature and perfection that is sure to bounce his music wonderfully off the mountainsides...looks like I will have to go see him in person finally. Maybe I'll catch him at the Gorge too.

Anyway, if you've never given Jack Johnson a chance, check out his music...then remember to take a long awestruck look at him too...either way, you are sure to turn into a fan.
