Despite all of the crap I'll get for it from some of my friends, I have plans to take my daughters to Sea World in several weeks. I'm not going to make it my place to determine if it's right or wrong, but I know my kids will enjoy it and that's what matters the most to me. That's a personal call we...

I can't believe that they have not done something over the years.

It would sure beat the hell out of another Toby Keith duet, that's for damn sure.

No sh*t, Sherlock.

Hear Willie Nelson and Billy Joe Shaver's 'Outlaw' Duet - Premiere "Hard to Be an Outlaw," from Shaver's first studio album in seven years, takes a jab at modern country http://assets-s3.rollingstone.com/assets/images/story/hear-willie-nelson-and-billy-joe-shavers-outlaw-duet-premiere-201...

So other than trying to stir the shitpot, what's your point? What, exactly about these posts is meant to "stir the shitpot"? It seems your post is much more intent on doing that than anything I've posted here. As for what my point is, that should be blatantly obvious if you've followed th...

Collin Raye Speaks Out On Today’s Country Music


Collin Raye

Considering how so much of mainstream country music is basically an arena rock version of country music this could actually be a genius move. Sort of like the Common Thread Eagles tribute back in 1993 which caused Don Henley's head to swell up even more as he took full credit for the watering down o...

From Somewhere Else, my favorite record of 2014 so far.

It sounds like Django Walker isn't the only Walker writing songs for Jimmy. :D Wasn't "Something 'bout A Boat" written by Django, Dave Berg, Patrick Davis, Jedd Hughes, James Otto, Eric Paslay and performed live by Django live prior to being recorded by Buffett? I ask because I never got ...

SeaWorld, San Antonio, TX

I wouldn't necessarily be for an all ballads tour but it would be cool to see him play some intimate theatre sized shows either solo and/or with a stripped down version of the Coral Reefer Band at some point where he could mix it up more and go deeper into his vast back catalog. If the This One's Fo...

I have no doubt that there's a similarity between the two songs or that Page even lifted the riff but, just like when Jake Holmes sued Page for "Dazed and Confused" a few years ago (which was evidently settled out of court) shouldn't these artists have sued Zeppelin back when these songs w...

From the new First Aid Kit album Stay Gold which comes out on June 10th.

I've never minded Buffett's versions of "Uncle John's Band" or "Scarlet Begonias" but there's just no topping the originals.

I haven't but I'll check it out. On the Verlon tip, when I saw Mary Gauthier in concert earlier this week, she spoke about what it was like touring with him and Guy Clark several years back (which is the first time I saw Mary in concert). She said one bit of advice Guy offered her was to always incl...

Isn't the title of the thread spoiler enough?

My Buffett days started early 1974 in Key West, guess it's my 40th anniversary this year. Maybe I'll post the whole story one of these days, how it all started. Love to read that someday. My Dad ate at one of Buffett's restaurants down there back in the 70's (pre-Margaritaville, Inc.) but the frien...

If you stand still you stagnate. Just sayin' that this is how Jimmy chose to make his money, so if he intended to keep getting a payday he and his show needed to evolve with the times.  Otherwise you become a one-trick pony and are quickly forgotten. The "show" has become a one-trick pony...

I wish I was introduced to seeing Buffett back in the 70's, I know I missed a special time. On the other hand, it seems like a lot of people on this board (not all) that go back to the 70's with Buffett, are disappointed with what he has become and rarely, if ever, see him live anymore. I've had so...
