With a tour name like that, maybe there will be book signings too!

The shiny lip gloss thing was goofy -- someone lost control while putting it on -- like a 4-year old got into the lipstick -- got some on the lips as well as half of the face. :o I was kind of hoping they'd have Jimmy do the confessional -- can you imagine how much fun that could have been??! I thou...

Yes, my concern was the electrical; last I heard that stuff didn't go well with water. If they can really make the equipment work in rain without any electrocutions (or destroying instruments, for that matter), then that would take care of that problem. I'd still wonder about overall show quality in...

Good work, Dino; keep us in the loop.

Buffett is to Wrigley as Ashlee Simpson is to Cellular One Park (or whatever Sox park is now called). It's about character and tradition vs. a sterile and contrived environment. (Okay, so I'm a Cubs fan.) It's not just about where one can tailgate in a big parking lot. Parrotheads are amongst the mo...

A stadium tour is risky for sound, but what about weather?? At the pavilions, unless there is a monsoon with hurricane winds and heavy lightning, the show can still go on. At stadiums, since all set up would be outdoors (except for domes and retractable roof venues -- can you imagine how bad that so...

Nashville will turn on Toby sooner or later. I can remember when Hank Jr. could do no wrong. Things sure changed for him. To hear Toby tell it, no one in Nashville likes him, "gets" him or wants him to succeed. I think the "no one in Nashville likes me" is Toby's schtick (brand)...

Okay, I've read through this nice long thread and it seems as though the writer was using Buffett as an example of country music going "corporate". Jimmy's a businessman (along with being an artist), but he is a very independent one who certainly hasn't played that "corporate" ga...

There is a video response on CMT, where Toby talks about JB and POW. Toby said, he didn't know what to think about the song and that it wasn't on his (Toby) label. He added he didn't know what they would do with it. Jimmy may have liked it better as a solo, it really doesn't matter to me. I keep tr...

Okay, here's my two cents about what happened on Regis and Kelly. (I'd tried to post a couple of times but the site was down at the time.) What turned me off was the banter of Regis and Kelly; I thought it was very negative and strained. Sarcasm can be great humor some of the time but they were cons...

Some good, some not so good. It is funny to see David Bowie in the Top 10 after he was nailed for lip-synching. I guess that's quality entertainment??!!

This is the NY Post, not the Times; the NY Times gave him a great review. This just strikes me as someone with very little imagination and understanding of adventure and fun. Oh well.

I think Ellen's laid back style and sense of humor will match up very well with Jimmy. I haven't caught her show that many times but what I've seen really seems to be about having fun, so I'm glad to see he'll be on. This will be a nice change of pace. If all TV appearances were like the Regis and K...

Found this thread the other day while searching for the ASPL lyrics. Jimmy's moustache...I always figured he shaved it as part of his getting away from the drugs thing. The timing would fit re. what he says in APLA50 and a couple of other interviews I've read (Rolling Stone from Sept.??). It also m...

It was actually the hurricanes that messed up the TATS video timing; they had a whole bunch of filming delays. As I said in a post on the POW single thread, I think it will be very interesting to see if country music (including RCA) has really embraced Jimmy as one of their own or whether they've ju...

While we're on the Carnival topic, I've got a question that bothers me so: In the credits it says that Alton Sanders is done by Ralph McDonald. I pick up Ralph's voice starting a song later in the CD, but the lyric sheet says Alton Sanders also opens the first song (after Herman Wouk's narration int...

...But it would be soooo much fun.

tours were bigger than ever,

Country embracing/claiming Jimmy sure helps them with their tour numbers!

I think what folks mean is music indigenous to the tropics.


Bingo, Mr. Rasta Santa Mon.

Got it, but I'm just looking for opportunities. I guess I thought Key West was pretty tropical....

Isn't Willie the only one that turned him down? Allison Krauss also turned him down for LTC Thanks for the add'l info re. Allison Krauss. I'm still not sure anyone else could have pulled off what Jimmy did for LTC. By the way, how the heck do I get this thing to quote an individual's post or a seri...
