| | Rolling Stone : Jack Johnson's Endless Summer |
 | | It's Wednesday night in San Francisco, and Jack Johnson is backstage in a tiny dressing room at the Fillmore, about to play for a crowd of 1,000, most of them blond. |
 | | Johnson's latest album, On and On, like his 2001 breakthrough, Brushfire Fairytales, is folk music that borrows from roots, reggae and mellow hip-hop, especially Bob Marley, the Meters and A Tribe Called Quest. |
 | | Johnson knows the road and the minivan so well because after Brushfire Fairytales came out, the band spent months driving around the country in the same Astro opening for Ben Harper, sometimes sleeping in it. |
