And I bet that the place where every festival is renting the amplification equipment has somekind of "we throw a Free jack johnson" offer...

Unfortunately I've already seen Radiohead twice and Youssou once. Guess I'll be staying home and listening to Everything, Everything.

But I think festival promoters (wisely) recognize that Jack is enough to draw in some more mainstream fans who would otherwise be on the fence about going to Coachella, APW etc.
 
"Hmm, $200 bucks is a lot to see those weird indie bands. Wait, what?? The  Bubble Toes dude is playing?!?! Dude, get your mom's Suburban-- we're going to Jersey!"

I think that joke has already been made.

Radiohead for two nights? And toss in Animal Collective, Cat Power, The Roots, Andrew Bird and Underworld?  I'm in.
