| This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb – jack johnson Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The issue of Jack Johnson's life were left out of the song, this is true. He was known to cohort with prostitutes often and ended up marrying a former prostitute (she was white). He was also a bit of a drinker and a gambler. He had a penchant for buying fast cars and expensive jewelry. When you think of Jack Johnson, frame him as the kid recently drafted to the NBA that blows $15k partying with his friends and ends up arrested. That's Jack Johnson out of the ring. He was hardly a role model to base your life on; however, he stood up and broke racial barriers like they were the faces of those he fought. | |
