Granted,there are "museums" out there for less significant reasons, but I certainly don't think Buffett needs one. Let's keep our sanity here.

Impossible to do in order but this is close

Lynard Skynard
The Outlaws
John Hiatt
Little Feat
Eric Clapton
Rolling Stones
Jackson Browne
Jimmy Buffett/Warren Zevon tie
Beach Boys
Thin Lizzy

I would have to have a whole different ten for blues artists, my favorite genre.

Margaritaville-The summer of 77 was just so much fun
Captain and the Kid-2 weeks after my Dad's funeral this song hit me hard
Pirate Looks at 40- A good friend told me this song reminded her of me.. and we were about 25 at the time.

I have an 8'6" Oceanside hanging on my wall that I could barely get up on 18 years ago. I'm 6 feet 210 and I think I would need something over 10 ft. now. I think about surfing again and I probably will if I can get a board big enough and cheap enough. I can't justify $900.00 with 2 kids, one ...

I don't find RR the least bit attractive. As for her show I find her extremly annoying. But her comments about Margaritville are right on. It is the least "Key Westy" laid back restaurant in Key West. The food is fairly good but unless you are fortunate to know management there, you are sh...

I would guess 70% of my usual crowd is not going this year. Finances, after Labor Day, Younger crowd all seem to be part of the reason.

Re: Tailgate party at Jones Beach???

The tailgate is a very big part of the whole experience. If you can't have a Corona or Margarita in the parking lot and you can't get one in the venue (only in VIP) you might as well go see the Jonas Brothers with your kids. I'm sure he will play there again but, we don't have to like it! :( I have...

Trop Rock. It's always been around. It's really country singing about beaches or islands. Buffett has cornered the market but he's not the only one that represents. Dirt Band, Jackson Browne, Leon Russell, and a whole bunch of newer Buffett wanna be's, to be found on Tropical Dreams .com. Not a bad ...

June 1986 at Great Woods. Somewhere in 79 or 80. Maybe 78. It was a real foggy period.

I won't see Buffett this year. I will set up my speakers in the back yard, start a campfire, pop some beverages, make some sangria, have some friends over and have a hell of a time because I love the music. Hope you all have as much fun as me doing your own thing with the people you want to be with.
