Two day after Kelly Slater was photographed with Trump advisor, his old pal Jack Johnson swings hard to Harris-Walz camp.
In a stunning twist, the world’s most famous surfer-songwriter Jack Johnson is, to adopt an American expression, the latest curveball to be thrown at pollsters after he went public earlier today as a “White Dude for Harris.”
Jack Johnson and Kelly Slater are long-time friends although where this places the friendship is unclear.
The “White Dudes for Harris” movement is a political support group aimed at rallying white men, enemy number one for the modern progressive, a demographic satanic in its need for power and with an insatiable desire to keep the black man at heel while simultaneously eroticising the black penis, to endorse Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign in 2024.
White Dudes for Harris uses its identity explicitly to counter the narrative that white men mostly support right-wing politics.
Through fundraisers and virtual meetings, it has gathered significant support, raising millions for Harris’s campaign. The movement reflects a broader strategy to engage demographics not traditionally associated with progressive causes, highlighting a shift in political alignment among some white male voters towards policies advocated by Harris.
Jack Johnson, who is forty-nine, inspired millions with his sharp take on folk songs, a zeitgeist shifting musician whose music still inflates the speakers in Third World beach bars and whose filmmaking reached its zenith with the 2002 film September Sessions.
Although not on the bill, Jack “will be joining a group of musicians on National Voter Registration Day.”
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Jack claims the woman traveled to Houston, Texas on Aug. 26 and got in his face at his hotel … and the interaction was so frightening, not only for Jack but also for the bandmate who saw it all go down, Jack and his band bounced until cops came and detained the woman.
Whose head is spinning now?
Do you veer left, Jack, or take the route paved by Tulsi and Kelly?

White Dudes who send staff to get the groceries and drive a Tesla for Harris. It makes them feel good inside thinking they’re doing something for the climate and for People of color. The “let them eat lithium” elite can fuck off.
yo, that’s great… not heard it before.
crazy good.
Great track from a classic album.
You Americans are sick in the head… You let your politics/politicians be your whole personality. The hate you have for fellow Americans is not second to the disgust Palestinians and Israelis have for eachother. If you dedicated your efforts to what really matters instead of hating eachother or anyone with an opposing view, tried to be more empathetic, the USA would be a great place. I pity you and the need you feel to take absolutist stances with everything, especially politics. You are being played on all sides, but are too busy raging to each others to realize that.
no truer words ever written on Beach Grit, well except for DR’s descriptions of E2’s buttocks.
It’s the centuries old stratagem and machination(s) of all politicians and tyrannical narssicists.
Divide and Conquer.
Blue and Red, Crips and Bloods, Black and White, Medina and Colapinto.
It’s Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies…….The Warriors
Warriors…….come out to plaaa-ayyyy!
Spot on. They treat it like our passion sport. They need to start playing sports that other countries play e.g soccer, rugby, cricket. Start playing sports where there is genuine competition from other countries rather than playing with yourself (NFL)
Check US medal count in the Olympics. US quits American football for rugby, US quits ML baseball for cricket, leftovers quit to play soccer. You think that would work out well for the other countries? They would like US more?
Talk is cheap.
It doesn’t help that Chas and Des (and thousands upon thousands of their ilk) have a business model that relies on clicks and “engagement” from stirring the pot. USA-on-USA hatred becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I do not understand people whose entire personality is who they vote for. Americans are so weird and cultish.
Well there is no way R. Kelly votes now.
I BELIEVE I CAN FLY…
His brother Petey is one of the biggest entitled duchebags on the Northshore not to be outdone by the biggest entitled duchebags in the entire world that inhabit the 7 mile miracle. Always striving, everyday 2% more entitled …”buy my boards, but don’t surf here! Don’t you know who my brother is?! We’re locals beat it Haole!” …. More as the story becomes more entitled….
What with Kamala obviously courting the skate/surf vote by constantly wearing Converse Chuck T’s on the campaign trail the veer to the left is inevitable https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
can imagine when she hops back in the limo.
“get these fucking cheap shit stupid shoes off me. WHERE’S MY JIMMY CHOOS….DAMMIT!!!???“
Not sure how much of a “veer” ‘ Jack took. Let’s see, successful, creative, chill, not obsessed with gun ownership, etc. Pretty sure he was already there.
*edit. Forgot educated.
don’t forget about the woeful music
I’d happily receive the woeful residual checks his music produces.
I’ll take the real estate posts
over anything political
over it
Keen to dig into a stat/ demographic case study here.
I’d love to see the data for the numbers, or percentage of White Dudes for Harris” (WDFH) who are attempting make up for tone-deaf cultural choices, sins if you will, racked up in their 20’s and 30’s – I’m talking lads in their 30’s, 40’s & 50’s here, so 90’s, naughties & 10’s time period. White man salad days of sorts. I posit, that lurking in the WDFH set, lay a subset of WGWD’s, yes, the worst of them all, White guys with dreds, or, WGWD’s. In any of those years described, our heroes were ready to push-mosh at any Limp bizkit, Korn, Disturbed, Static-X-, Foo Fighters or mainstream Festival pit. Didn’t even have to be nü metal either, John Butler trio here in Oz were WGWD icons. Stadium ready acoustic savant level of so, so, so-so chil.
The typical WGWD now drives a sensible Korean, Japansese, or Tech Hybrid, won’t touch dairy, digs hard on his Smoker, snifs coke with abandon on the weekend, and has the clipped off shitlocks in a ziplock bag at the bottom of the freezer. How much pussy did those bad boy dreads help him pull? Oodles. Of course, this hairdo is far from fit for street life in 20204. The implications.. Just unseemly. In fact, it’s so bad, and the needle has moved so far for our guy, the hairdo of his glory days, would today make him a a fucken racist Nazi, toxic man and even Trumpian. Used to be that they just help define him as chiller, even though he is and was always a total dick. He used the dreadies as an interesting convo opener to tune chicks with. He was SUPER CHILL, shit he even played bass in a band that had rapped lyricas and a DJ. The DJ was white, same as the rapper/ singer but those 4 releases on Spotify that the emcee/vocalist Sub-urban-Phil posted up are a skeleton for another day.. Especially the EP with problematic “Faggot” laced lyrics that Phil stands by.
I feel like this is the least offensive version of what will become the white dudes for Harris stereotype. God knows the worst is not even remotely conceivable. Most of what I have mentioned here is based in reality and are composites of shitstain cunts I know of, regrettably.

Jack obviously never fully recovered from smacking his coconut off the reef at Pipe.
if a man votes for a woman, he’s a complete pussy
Jack-off Johnson
off to bed when I saw this, so figured I’d put this out there so I can enjoy the abuse in the morning.
1. having grown up with the sounds of CSNY, Joni Mitchel, Van Morrison, Steve Winwood, Arlo Guthrie, Seals and Croft, Simon and Grafinkel, babelicious Carly Simon, Carol King and even Counting Crows…Jack is not impressive.
2. the only songs I know by him are the ones from Curious George. happy, happy, Jack in The Box Joy. Monkey is funny
3. last year a couple in their late 60’s early 70’s’s came into my shop. they were decked out in the finest of casual resort fashion, striped shirts, sweaters wrapped around necks, and absolutely thrilled they were going to see jack play. I asked them if Dan Fogelberg was the headliner, they responded no, but they had seen Dan play in the late 80’s and it was one of the greatest shows they’d ever seen. I told them “have fun” and vomited.
4. I thought racism was a bad thing. what’s with the: “I have less melanin content, White Dudes for Harris” thing? have some pride man. Your white guilt makes you look foolish and no matter how much you kiss Kommies ass, your dick will never be a Big Willie, plus…..you ain’t Mayor. No ladder baby, no ladder to climb.
5. Jack trying to stay relevant after his career has fallen off the map. You’ll never be Taylor Swift, Jack.
6. Give Jack a “I Have Black Friends” badge.
7. this is what happens when you let your wife manage your career.
I know. He seems so unhappy.
This is all clearly a cry for help. I’m glad that you’ve seen through the formerly-opaque charade.
Thoughts and prayers for Jack. Hopefully he gets control over that evil wife of his.
Upvote for #1–good musicians. No Bob Dylan, though? Winwood sitting in with Hendrix on Voodoo Child live version on Electric Ladyland is some of the best 14 minutes of music ever played. Here you go–will make you a happy camper:

Thanks for this. as I said, was heading off to bed so forgot some of the greats
I have a couple of her albums, but Illuminations is the one for me. the early synth treated / vocoded vocals tip that LP tip it in to the ‘ahead of it’s time’ category.
you had me til the counting crows reference
True.
Also: Traffic > Steve Winwood.
that’s why I said “even”
Now he just needs a gun and Trumps schedule .
Whoa
weird
Bex, your comedic timing can’t be faulted. I laughed hard at that 😘
👍
Let’s get one thing clear, there was nothing sharp about Jack Johnson‘s take on folk music.
Jack Johnson…it’s like I’ve stepped in something
