Jack Johnson: "Do You Remember"


Today my parents celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary. Ten of those years of married bliss have been spent living in Hawaii, so props to them for figuring out a way to prolong the honeymoon indefinitely.

Jack Johnson is a fellow Hawaiian, and this is my favorite of his songs. The song is about a couple who, after being together more than ten years, are still madly in love (get it? just like my parents! d'awwwww). Mr. Johnson is a wonderful storyteller, and he's true to the island philosophy of relaxed delivery -- as a rule, he doesn't wear shoes when he performs (unless he's at the White House). My parents will appreciate that. They'll also appreciate the Ben Stiller cameo at the beginning.

Happy Anniversary, Dan & Kerri!
