There’s an article written by the Herald editorial staff about the two Boston Shows at Fenway
http://news.bostonherald.com/opinion/view.bg?articleid=436

The Dallas radio station 99.5 The Wolf is now promoting the May 29th concert as Wolfapalooza and giving away tickets 5 times a day. Their website www.995thewolf.com has some information and Margaritaville.com and Ticketmaster.com now has it listed with tickets to go on sale April 3rd and a Pre-Sale on April 2nd. TM shows the concert(s) starting at 5:00 p.m.

There’s also an article at Newsday: “Jackson, Strait and Buffett to Perform”

Jackson will kick off the concert, followed by Strait and then Buffett.

This is from Mailboat when I asked when they were going to release a date that the album “License to Chill” would be out and why the delay.

“It isn’t done yet, and the release date will probaly be early June.”

Buffett is mentioned in the Feburary edition of the Smithsonian magazine. The title of the article is: [b:ae3ca01857]Floridians raise a ruckus over manatees as biologists weigh prospects for the endangered species’ survival[/b:ae3ca01857]

On page 4 of the article it talks about Jimmy’s involvement with manatees.

Our very own Coral Reefer, Ms. Amy Lee, will be appearing in the theatrical performance of “Beehive” in Atlanta at the Rialto Theatre 3/24 – 3/28.

This dynamite musical is a splendid revue of the famous “girl groups” of the 60s. If you were there, it’ll spark some old memories … If you weren’t there, it’ll create some new ones!

Right now, if you mention Amy Lee’s name, you can get 2 for 1 tickets when you order or buy at the box office the night of the show! If you’re gonna be anywhere near Atlanta this week, don’t miss this opportunity to see Ms. Amy live onstage!

City Councilor Michael P. Ross, who represents the Fenway and Kenmore neighborhoods. “I won’t support the concert unless there’s no tailgating, and unless it’s printed on the tickets, `No Tailgating.’ ”

Boston licensing officials are expected to decide within the next month whether to allow a pair of Jimmy Buffett concerts at Fenway Park in September.

According to folks at FalconJet, Jimmy ordered a new Dassault Falcon 900 trijet to replace his current 1982-model Falcon.
