There’s a Yahoo! article on Paul Richardson mentions Jimmy Buffett. Apparently Richardson decided to inject Phillies games with Buffett’s National Anthem:

Time After Island Time had the opportunity to get a very cool and entertaining interview with Jim Morris down in Key West, Florida. After carefully listening to all of his music, we present to you a 2-part Jim Morris special of one hour each. We picked out our favorite Jim Morris songs and serve them to you. His songs are tropical fruit and we present them to you in the radio show that is our pie crust along with other music from the islands of the world, New Orleans, and even some places you’ve never been.

NBC Olympic coverage just did a piece on Olympic luger Tony Benshoof. They talked about Tony listening to Buffett music before his runs. They showed Tony a web message that Jimmy had made for him wishing him luck, fins up! Jimmy said he would take him sailing some time, but that Tony would never get him on the luge. Tony was blown away!

The Pioneer Press has an article on the Olympian: "Benshoof powered by Margaritaville"
