is dicta simply a musically retarded jack johnson?

tonight on the ride home from visiting dominique (look, no link, you happy??) my jack johnson cd came on in the changer and i got to thinking...jack johnson and i arent that different, ya know. sure, maybe i curse more and have a better voice, but we write about a lot of the same stuff. for example, much like i criticize society, so does he:

You win
Its your show, now
So whats it gonna be
Cause people
Will tune in
How many train wrecks do we need to see?
Before we lose touch of
We thought this was low
It's bad gettin worse so

Whered all the good people go
Ive been changin channels
I dont see them on the tv shows
Whered all the good people go
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

i'm not the only one who thinks our current tv shows are shit and people are evil and moronic. but that's not it people, there's more!

I was reading a book
Or maybe it was a magazine
Suggestions on where to place faith
Suggestions on what to believe
But I read somewhere
That you've got to beware
You can't believe anything you read
But the good Book is good
And that's well understood
So don't even question
If you know what I mean

But it's all relative
Even if you don't understand
Well it's all understood
Especially when you don't understand
And it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe

see, look at this! i'm not the only one who talks about the relativity and problem of knowledge vs. faith inherent in religion. or those who believe because its easier than investigating or thinking about it. that's not to say that if you think about it you'll come to one conclusion or another, but blind faith is dangerous.

i wonder why it was jack and not myself who carried this messages to society. i mean, we both have the rugged good looks, i look a little better in a plain white t-shirt, and his beard leaves a little to be desired. i guess it's just the luck of the draw.

but it's still comforting to know that jack johnson is out there getting some of my messages to the public. it's probably better this way anyhow, as i have plenty of stalkers as it is. i dont need the extras that would come with being in the limelight. thanks jj, i appreciate it.
