Re: What to do with Margaritaville (the song)

I rarely post on here but I sober up for a moment to type this, Margaritaville still is a hightlight for me every opportunity I get to catch Jimmy perform. It's a moment of pure parrothead zen with the thousands of other fans around me.

Re: New Orleans...

I had vacationed there with my wife and my now oldest daughter who was a tiny keet at almost 3. We stayed for a week and our vacation ended 5 days before Katrina hit. Just dumb lucky to have not been there before the Hurricane because my wife decided she wanted a week between vacation and her return...

Re: Cool old pic of Autour

An informal survey indicates that two thirds of all Parrotheads like the song! It's a song that has grown on me over time. At 1st I didn't care for it. The intro felt like it went on forever. However the lyrics are like many of Jimmy's songs pretty catchy and now it no longer gets skipped on the MP...

Re: Is it too early to start the "Livenation Sucks" thread?

Ticketmaster has been sucking it up like no other since before the age of the internet. I remember all too many Saturday mornings waiting outside in all kinds of weather to buy tickets in person for various acts only to come away empty handed. I remember once waiting for Billy Joel/Elton John ticket...

Re: What would you suggest for a new fan??

You can't go wrong with Fruitcakes. It was my 1st Buffett album even before knowing anything about anything. If your friend starts asking everyone if they got a cousin in Miami I think you got a Parrothead in the making. As far as like albums I still think Freeding Frenzy is a great intro live album...

A very upsetting event.

Re: Michael Nesmith and Radio Margaritaville Song ID help

Thanks for the song id and thank you for that neat database.

On a sidenote I use to hate the song Different Drum but hearing Mike Nesmith sing it gives me a whole new appreciation for it.

Thanks again!

Michael Nesmith and Radio Margaritaville Song ID help

Hey everyone! I need your help. There's a song I hear every few weeks by Michael Nesmith that's played by JD on RM. For the life of me I can't remember which one it is but all I do know is it seems to be the only Michael Nesmith song in the rotation. I could hum a few bars but that doesn't help me a...

Re: Earthquake in Chile; Tsunami warnings in Pacific

I haven't been on BN in awhile as well but my thoughts to all of those who may be affected by this. Scary stuff. I was complaining about all the snow we just got but in the big picture it's pretty petty considering what is going on from Haitti to Chile to everywhere in the Pacific.

Re: Sail on Walter Cronkite

A man who commanded the respect of the powerful, the admiration of his peers and the trust of an American public in a time when it was in short supply. The voice of heartbreak when giants were slain, the voice of disbelief as war raged on and the voice of wonder and awe to a young boy sitting on Spa...

Give the people what they want. SyKbH are beloved by old and new parrotheads. Despite much moaning and grumbling at times they are a delight to listen to in concert.

When I vote I don't look to see how the voteing had been going up to that point. But after casting my vote for Fins I guess I was surprised to see it actually held a lead over Come Monday.
