Joe Johnston can refer to two artists: 1) Film director, know for films such as Captain America: The First Avenger and The Rocketeer. 2) Musician. Growing up, Joseph Johnston never liked reading, or television. Out of this, his passion for music was born because he realized, "how else am i going to get chicks?" His atmospheric, instrumental noize will warm the cockles of your cochlea and have your ears brimming with joy. Then he'll take that joy and slap you in the face with it. <a href="htt
