5. That Jack Johnson is a surfing enthusiast -- Often you will read a story that begins, "Singer-songwriter-surfer Jack Johnson..." Oh please, spare us. I'll look for him at ESPN's X Games.
Too many articles start out this way. Madonna the Kabbalah loving children's author... You know her ghost writer takes a Xanax every time he or she sees that. What does it matter anyway? I'm there to read about an album not Jack White Stripe's latest close encounter with baby Jaws. I couldn't care less about the well rounded perspective of his life. To become a fan I must enjoy the music first and then go looking for salacious tales of coke and transvestite hooker fucking. It's not the other way around Rolling Stone.
