USA Today’s Whitney Matheson has named License To Chill’s cover the fourth worst of the summer.

“Not only did Jimmy come up with one of the lamest record titles of the summer (and possibly fodder for some Beastie Boys legal action!), his cover snapshot reaches new levels of cheese. Although foot fetishists will rejoice at the close-up of his bare piggies.”

Here’s the part of the conversation with Bobby Labonte in regards to Jimmy Buffett:
Q: On a more serious note, what’s the best Jimmy Buffet song?

Labonte: Tin Cup Chalice.

Q: What makes that so good?

Labonte: It’s just laid-back. It’s get a Corona Light and sit back on the beach and listen to it, I guess.

Q: Have you been to a Buffet concert lately? Have you seen him the last six months or something?

Labonte: No, I haven’t. Our schedule hasn’t really permitted us to go a whole lot. I saw him at Homestead when he was there visiting. But I haven’t been to a concert. Sometimes we have flown to concerns. Terry and I have rented helicopters and gone down and try to scalp tickets — and couldn’t get in. We bought T-shirts and left.

My wife and I and more groups of people flew to places to watch him and had tickets and limousines. We landed our plane right beside his. “This is the only way you can go to a concert right here. This is all right.”

But we haven’t been able to go lately. When you’re kids are growing up, the 25 percent time you had to go do things like dwindles away.
