Re: The Beach Bum - Movie

Jimmy and Hollywood do not mix. Plain and simple. His acting sucks, the songs he writes for movies s***, the movies he has been in s***... I know that none of what he does should be taken seriously. After all it is only Hollywood and I am sure he is just having fun. But my God, how many crappy thing...

Re: Buffett Performs National Anthem at NFC Playoff

My wife looked at me and said, "Did Jimmy just drop the mic?" I had to rewind and watch. Luckily, I only had to go back a few seconds and was able to avoid hearing any of the signing. Then I saw it and looked at her and said, "This performance goes into that special box where "Fo...

Re: Wright Bros MONDAY @ the MSC

David McCullough's book on the two of them is a pretty good read. They worked very, very hard and in a cool scientific way.

Re: I think.........

I can understand people's gripes, but when was the last time any of his shows sold out? When was the last time you could not get a reasonably priced ticket here through the ticket exchange or on Stub-Hub or through some other platform? Years ago, back when he was popular, you had to wait on an actua...

Coral Reefer Cannabis

First off, I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with JB doing a licensing deal using the "Coral Reefer" name. It is about time that Marvin Gardens, Al Vocado and Kitty Litter stepped out of the shadows and into the limelight. It makes complete sense to me and I happy he is doing it. How...

Re: Who’s Going to Jones Beach Aug 2 2018?

I am probably going to buy in a few. Have not told the wife yet.
Can someone please just tell me what time JB comes on so I can plan accordingly.
Thanks,

Re: Who’s Going to Jones Beach Aug 2 2018?

I am waiting until tonight or even tomorrow to buy tickets. With the weather I suspect that lots of people will want to dump and there are hundreds of tickets still for sale. BTW - I should know this but don't. What time does the opening act come on and what time does Jimmy take the stage? Thanks,

Re: RIP Anthony Bourdain

Agreed. I really enjoyed "Kitchen Confidential." When that book came out, the celebrity chef thing was starting to take off. But there he was writing about drugs, alcohol and the debauchery that often goes on in a restaurant's kitchen. Because of that book I try to avoid restaurants on a M...

Re: Escape to Margaritaville

I am sure it costs a pretty penny to bring a production all the way to Broadway. No one works for free. And we all know there is no way Jimmy underwrote all of the expenses (not that he couldn't), so I am sure that there is a group of people who expected more and are getting a lot less. Heck look at...

Re: Escape to Margaritaville

No Tony nominations, last week the show sold only 55.4% of seats and earned only 35.7% of gross potential. I suspect that it will not make it through the summer because with numbers like that, and no "Tony Nominated..." advertising to be had, investors are going to want to pull the plug qu...

Link above is to an article in yesterday's New York Post. Like I said, just because it is on Broadway does not mean it is a quality show. From other stuff I have read, it may not make it through the summer.

Re: Escape to Margaritaville

I really enjoyed "Tales From Margaritaville" and thought "Where is Joe Merchant" was an excellent story. I also think that the writing he did for "Don't Stop The Carnival" was some of his best. He really brought those characters to life. But "A Salty Piece of Land&...

Re: Jones Beach concert not sold out

I bought 4 tickets this morning for $36.00. According to Ticketmaster/Live Nation, they were not re-sale. And there were tons of them available. There were also plenty of $96.00 tickets, which was kind of funny because on Stub-Hub tickets in the exact same section were going for $250+. I doubt most ...

Re: Best closing or encore song?

I believe that the last song of the second Montessori benefit show was "Death of an Unpopular Poet." One of my life's biggest regrets is that I missed that show. If I had been there, it probably would have been the last concert for me. Because I do not know if it gets better than that.

My concert experiences are a little dated, but I've seen 6+ summer shows in Atlanta and multiple shows at Jones Beach and Great Woods. Most of the years I saw shows in the South and the North on the same tour, because I spent summer's in Georgia and went to school in the Northeast. Here is how I wou...

I am waiting for Walter Isaacson to write his biography of Jimmy.
Or for Jimmy to do a real autobiography. Not a travel book filled with some back stories.

I can't believe I wasted my time looking at that list. I might have to go read some headlines on "Yahoo" to make myself feel better.
