The Globe and Mail has a review of the Toronto Show: “Jimmy Buffet’s Parrot Heads hail their antihero”
If Warren Buffett is a master of investment, Jimmy Buffett (no relation) is a master of time well wasted. Here’s a man who has parlayed a modest talent for laid-back singing and simple songwriting into an empire, his coral-reef country-rock drawing super-loyal crowds, even though his “hits” are not numerous at all.
The 62-year-old entertainer works three nights a week – his concert album from 1999 is Buffett Live – Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays – and when he walks on stage he does so in bare feet and to an antihero’s welcome. Warren Buffett’s secret is of the buy-low-sell-high kind, but what is the formula of Jimmy?

I was at Jimmy’s concert in Toronto this past Thursday and it was fantastic. I liked the indoor venue because the music was that much more intense and exciting. I had been to Pittburgh a few years back and I had a great time, enjoyed all the festivities and craziness, but this concert rocked big time. I will definetly plan on going again the next time he’s in Toronto. Oh, by the way, I live in the Buffalo area and it’s just a stones throw from Toronto. Thanks Jimmy for a great time!
