Here's a little paragraph or so I wrote for a JB thread I started at CMT and on the OSA board. T'ain't great, but it's sincere :). "I can say unequivocally that Jimmy Buffett is the best ever at playing/writing/singing his particular genre of music. And I could say that even if he sucked (which...

I'm sorta new (well, REALLY new) to this board, so forgive me if this has been covered before, but what, in your opinion, qualifies one to be called a Parrothead? ... What do you consider the minimum qualifications to be to earn the title of Parrothead? OK, I'll answer your actual question now... I...

No, no, not trying to start a row. Just wondering what the folks here consider as the definition of "Parrothead".

I don't know if Waylon was a JB fan, or vice versa, and they really don't have a lot in common musically, I suppose. But like JB, Waylon made his the music he wanted to make, and he made it his way. Waylon was truly an original, truly a legend, truly a Hoss, and we miss him still. Waylon lives! Any ...

I'm sorta new (well, REALLY new) to this board, so forgive me if this has been covered before, but what, in your opinion, qualifies one to be called a Parrothead? Is a Parrothead simply a JB fan, one who buys the CDs/DVDs? Or must a person necessarily have seen JB in concert at least once (or maybe ...

Not a Chesney fan here. At all.

Well then, Jimmy needs to go in with the Chickasaws and open the Jimmy Buffett Chickasaw Margaritaville Bar, Grill, Casino, Supermarket, Tackle Shop and One Stop Oil Change Parlor here in Ada, Oklahoma.

Dang, that's a good idea!

Why should the idea of Jimmy coming to Oklahoma make anyone laugh? The Stones came here, as did AC/DC, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Santana, Limp Bizkit, Eminem, Toby Keith, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, etc. The Ford Center is a fine venue for any act, IMHO. Heck, going back a few decades, King Elvis played O...

My Sooners routed the mighty (okay, maybe not so mighty) Mocs of UTC 57-2, allowing only one first down and 36 total yards of offense. All this with what amounted to a tropical monsoon hitting Norman at halftime.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll probably wait a while and hope, then pick the nearest venue and make the trip (y'all bend the Man's ear and tell him there's Parrotheads on the plains, K? :D ). Till then, I have "Live in Anguilla" coming from Buy.com and the current shows airing live on Sirius...

Just curious -- anyone have any idea when he played the City last?

P.S. "The City" is Okie-speak for Oklahoma City, of course.

I'm sure Jimmy could put 20,000 butts in Ford Center seats in no time.

I have "Live in Anguilla" coming from Buy.com; should be here in a few days. "Scenes You Know by Heart" inspired me to get it.

Well, I did HEAR him tonight live from ol' Virginny on Sirius 31. I think it's so dang cool that Jimmy broadcasts all his concerts live. Never heard of anyone else that does that. And when JB does make it to Soonerland, I'll be there. I'm sure he's played the Ford Center before, and I have friends t...

Been a Buffett fan since 1985, when I was 17. I liked his radio hit "If the Phone Doesn't Ring", which caused me to buy his "Last Mango in Paris" album, and then soon after I bought the (then) newly released "Songs You Know by Heart" and was hooked.

Been a Parrothead since '85 but have never seen the Man live yet. I checked and didn't see any Oklahoma dates scheduled. Anyone have any idea if Jimmy might be coming to our Sooner state within the next year or so?

Thanks.
