Back in Jack
Byline alert: I have a one-page article in the latest issue of Rolling Stone (#1107, Jay-Z cover) about Jack Johnson and the free show he played on the Santa Monica Pier. (There was “valet parking” for bicycles and the light show came courtesy of the Ferris wheel.) As usual, it’s not up on the Rolling Stone website, so get your mitts on a paper issue and look for it on page 19.
Career milestone: I don’t believe I’d ever previously reported any part of an article while on a roller coaster.

Speaking of Jacks: I’m embarrassed to admit I read Maxim (it became my auto-replacement subscription for the late, lamented Blender), but I loved your Jack White interview. You asked seriously original questions and packed a remarkable amount of revelation/character study into a single-page article.

Thank you so much! I wasn’t sure what to expect–I’ve read other interviews where his hostility has been pretty thinly veiled–but we totally hit off.
