Most of the bands that come to Walnut Creek in Raleigh these days are of the mainstream country variety as that's their biggest draw (a notable exception is the upcoming Allman Brothers/Steve Winwood bill). I love country music but really have no desire to see the majority of the mainstream stuff u...

Bottom line is if you can't afford to go you won't. Jimmy's crowds have shrunk slightly and there are usually tickets available up until the show. $250-$90 plus fee seats will do that. Jimmy has advertising too even if it's a little more subtle. Landshark is always pimped on signs and oft mentioned....

I'll trade you an autographed Reggie Bush for an autographed Johnny Football.

I blame the lawyers.

This is all driven by fear of lawsuits. If you outlaw drinking and there is a liability claim from a person who has been drinking it goes a long way to proving lack of culpability.

At $2,000 it's Cabana Daydreamin for me.

Throw a quarter on the fish for me.

Getting a carry permit is a bit of a radical reaction to being hassled by some homeless guys. If he was touched or really threatened by them he needs to report it to the police and be prepared to ID them. I'm not opposed to carry permits but I think it's a big step that takes some real thought. If y...

89 is a good long life for an NFL lineman. Most of those guys die young from heart problems.

Art was a funny guy and a hell of a player. Sail on good sir.

I hear you. Vegas is completely different and less enjoyable but I like Vegas anyway so a half assed party, a great concert and a nice weekend make up for no tailgate.

Buck up Bill. DJs make mistakes and this was probably one. Vegas is a lesser substitute but not the same. I'm in the same boat. My wife scored 3rd row seats for me on Ticketmaster and after paying they suddenly became unavailable (what a surprise :roll: ). They offered seats at the rear of the floor...

As a card carrying liberal how does Jimmy reconcile being a 3%-er? Regardless his political views (whatever they are, I don't know him so I don't know his views) I would guess he "reconciles" it with his hard work, work ethic and bussiness savvy. I will never understand the liberal idea o...

Ring-a-ding means yours truly and putting me on ignore because I'm narrow minded is so rich with irony I will smile for days. Okay kids here is what I was getting at. Jimmy and Bono both campaigned for President Obama and one must assume they share his view that the majority of the wealth in our nat...

I came to this board intending to be the cranky old man but I found the position taken.

The "everyone cheats" defense may make you feel better but it doesn't absolve blame.

Believe me I know, I'm a USC football fan.

Over my many decades of Buffett shows I have purchased one item, a Jimmy's Jump Up tour hat from 1990. I think I was extra drunk for that show and just shelled out the cash on a whim.

It is a cool hat though.

Does Jimmy market stuff like that?

Captain and the Kid has my vote.

I wanted to go in '82 but my wife was 8 and a half months pregnant with our first and I was on home arrest.
