      belongs
     
     
      in
      the
      upper
      echelons
      of
     
     
      mediocre.
      While

      surfer/stoner
      vibe
      that
     
     
      sold
      his
      earlier
      albums
      and
      propelled
     
     
      him
      into
      stardom,
      it
      still
      has
      that
     
     
      something
      that
      makes
      the
      album
      easy
     
     
      to
      enjoy.
     
    

    
     
      Devoid
      of
      complicated
      riffs
      and
     
     
      clever
      lyrics,
      this
      Cd
      is
      much
      more

      friendly

      that
      one
      has
     
     
      trouble
      picturing
      Jack
     
     
      Johnson
      as
      anything
      other
     
     
      then
      a
      cog
      in
      the
      radio
     
     
      factory.
     
    

    
     
      “In
      Between
      Dreams”
     
     
      does
      have
      redeeming
      qualities.
      The
     
     
      symbolic
      cover
      art
      is
      undeniably
     
     
      creative,
      and
      several
      tracks
      are
      able
      to
     
     
      rise
      above
      this
      cult
      of
      mediocrity
      that
     
     
      this
      CD
      represents.
      The
      song
     
     
      “Breakdown”
      conveys
      an
     
     
      environmental
      message:
      “The
      wisdom’s
     
     
      in
      the
      trees,
      not
      the
      glass
      windows”
      and
     
     
      in
      Johnson’s
      normally
      smooth
      voice,
     
     
      one
      can
      detect
      a
      small
      growl
      that
      is
     
     
      reminiscent
      of
      Dylan.
      If
      you
      like
     
     
      relaxing
      music
      that’s
      easy
      to
      swallow,

      UPEI
      Theatre
      Society’s
      production
      of
      Lysistrata
      will

      hitting
      an
     
     
      amphitheatre
      nearest
      you
      (Duffy,
      to
      be
      exact).
      The
      cast
      and
      crew
      of
      20
      UPEI
     
     
      students
      and
      faculty
      will
      be
      showing
      an
      abbreviated
      version
      of
      the
      5"
      century
     
     
      _
      Aristophanes
      work,
      but
      the
      piece
      will
      prove
      as
      relevant
      today
      as
      it
      ever
      was.
      The
     
     
      premise
      of
      the
      play
      involves
      women
      getting
      tired
      of
      the
      war
      between
      the
      Athenians
     
     
      and
      Spartans,
      so
      they
      withhold
      sexual
      privileges
      from
      their
      brave
      men
      in
      the
     
     
      frontlines.
      Viewer
      discretion
      is
      advised,
      as
      many
      of
      the
      jokes
      are
      physical
      in
     
     
      nature.
      The
      production
      will
      be
      presented
      in
      the
      UPEI
      Duffy
      Amphitheatre
