I stopped at some no name gas station in North Myrtle Beach yesterday and say Landshark Lager. Actually picked it up then decided...sorry i dont buy something because Jimmy expects me to. Bou...

I read the first page and a half of posts and then stopped, so if I repeat something someone else has said between page 1 1/2 and 4, my bad. First of all, I was introduced to Jimmy about 15 years ago and have been hooked ever since. I never thought anything would be better than a Buffett show (or 3...

Hey, with regular unleaded at 2.69 a gallon, how else you gonna get around and still have enough cash left for an overpriced 6-pack?

Re: The Captain and the Kid by..... Elton John?!?!

I just saw that Elton John released an album late last year called 'The Captain and the Kid' and there is a song on the album by the same name yet not the same song Jimmy recorded. Did Elton ask Jimmy for permission to use this title? I know Jimmy keeps a pretty tight lid on his copyrights and I am...
