Another Nofrontteeth Story! Jack Johnson for President!!

He carved his front teeth from surf wax. He was 17. A coral reef at Pipeline had taken them. 150 stitches in his forehead. Knocked out his front teeth. Nearly DROWNED.
A week before, he'd been the youngest invitee in the Pipeline Masters finals. Competing against Gerry Lopez. The North Shore was his front yard. His father Jeff was a legendary surfer. The pro circuit was right there.
The reef took it all in one wave.
He went back to school. Not with fake teeth from a dentist. With teeth he'd carved from the wax he used on his board.
During the long recovery, he had time. He picked up a guitar.
He went to UC Santa Barbara. He met Kim in the dining hall, first week of college. Math major. Future teacher. He locked his bike to hers so she'd have to talk to him. They married barefoot on a beach in 2000.
His debut album came out in 2001. Brushfire Fairytales. By 2005 he had a number one Billboard album. The Curious George soundtrack. 25 million records sold worldwide.
Then in 2008, he made a choice nobody asked him to make.
Every dollar of tour profit, from that year forward, would go to charity. 100 PERCENT. When NPR asked him why, he said: "Yeah, that's my wife's fault. She makes me do that."
But Kim - the math teacher - had said something earlier, when they founded the Kokua Hawaii Foundation back in 2003. "When you have that teaching bug, and you're wanting to work with kids, you don't get that when you're on tour. I needed something to fill my soul."
So they built it together. A foundation that brings recycling, school gardens, and farm-to-school programs to 51 schools across Oahu. Three thousand Hawaiian kids every year. An 8-acre learning farm in Haleiwa. More than THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS in charity from the two of them since 2001.
He still lives on the North Shore within a mile of his brothers. He still wakes up checking the swell. He takes a two-month break from touring every year to be home.
When the Kona low storm flooded the North Shore in March, Jack and Kim wrote a check. $500,000 of their own money. He said: "The North Shore is my hometown, and this flooding is affecting our community in a very real way."
A month later he stood on the lawn at Ko Olina with Jason Momoa and 7,000 people. They called it Aloha in Action. Every dollar went to flood victims.
But here's the part nobody talks about. To fund the foundation, he has to tour. To tour, he has to leave. The man who funds Hawaiian kids learning about their own land has to leave that land to do it.
He gave the music to the island that raised him.

What a Story...
In 1966, Chet Baker was beaten so badly outside a gig in Sausalito that he lost most of his teeth.
For a trumpet player, that's game over.
He spent the next several years off the scene entirely. Welfare. A gas station job. His trumpet case sitting in the corner. Then he started again from nothing.
Long tones first. Single notes, held for minutes at a time. Then scales, so slow they barely resembled music. Everything he had built over twenty years was gone. He was relearning with a rebuilt mouth, different muscles, artificial teeth.
It took until 1973.
The recordings he made in the years that followed — fragile, barely-there, almost whispering — are some of the most emotionally devastating in jazz.

Punks (names unknown) @ The Vortex, Wardour Street 1977.

Fifty years ago, punk caused an earthquake in England—its aftershocks reached Vienna with a slight delay. From 1977 onwards, a small but energetic scene began to take shape, jolting Viennese bourgeois complacency with abrasive music and provocative attitudes. Bands such as Chuzpe, Pöbel, Dirt S**t, a-gen53, and the Dead Nittels got teenagers pogo dancing.
The punks’ main meeting point was the Saturday flea market. The motto was: “Do it yourself!” Outfits were homemade, badges were self-printed, and music was made—often without any prior experience.
This publication brings together 25 interviews with key figures from the scene. Its visual core consists of contemporary photographs—above all those by Mickey Kodak, one of Vienna’s first punks—as well as posters, record covers, fanzines, and other materials charged with subversive energy.
Peter Stuiber is a cultural historian, writer, and curator. He has been working at the Wien Museum for the past 20 years.
