Great song...that's the only Tahitian I know.

One thing I just can't figure out though...what's Jimmy gonna do with the POW verse he always has someone else sing?... "I'm a dreadful sight and I just don't care Spent all morning pulling out my hair I woke at dawn with a crazy spin Half the day trying to glue back in" Mac sings it when...

Because they play music *from* the tropics, not music *influenced* by the tropics. I understand what you're saying, but isn't something like OPH from the tropics?? Tahitian choirs, written in French Polynesia -- how much more tropical can you get?? (One could go on and on and on...Island?? Lone Pal...

Interesting game they play with radio; amazing timing for HGL given their rules. (Re. POW and Toby, if Mockingbird is the best they can do, I'll go back to CDs for a while.) Anyway, since that wall wouldn't come down, good for Jimmy for finding some way to get around it and get POW out there as a si...

Thanks, Conched!

Tropical channel is 94... no Jimmy.

How can you have a tropical channel with no Jimmy??! Wouldn't that kind of be like having a Caribbean bar with no rhum, a baseball game with no beer or peanuts, or a harbour with no boats? Just doesn't register to me.

Having pondered a bit more, it probably was all about getting the lens (which enables the lighthouse to run) -- kind of like finding the key that unlocks the door. An interesting piece of symbolism is that the lens was found in Florida -- you can search the world over for things that make a differen...

I think the book was all about getting the lighthouse running again. A key piece to that, of course, was getting the lens. With the lighthouse running, Cleopatra had her resting place and could die, Tully could move on, etc.

yet another test....

I like RM coming across the internet and would rather not have to subscribe to something else -- XM or Sirius. The concept of RM as an independent and innovative station is a great one and I'd hate to see the format (e.g. live concerts) lost to fit another mold, or licensing, or whatever.

I agree with Four Play re. Cleopatra setting things up and that when she was done, she was done. Also, giving only 2-pages to her death shows that the book is about life, not about death -- life is what fills up the pages (kind of sounds like Jimmy, doesn't it?) Another thing that I liked, separate ...

From "We are the people are parents warned us about": "Cause I love Cajun martinis and playing afternoon golf" I also read somewhere that he used to sponsor an annual golf outing in Colorado that would start at the "crack of noon". He talks more about tennis but obvious...

I putt righthanded and Jimmy putts lefty...I see we get about the same results.

Okay, in "Growing Older but not Up" he sings: "I rounded first, never thought of the worst as I studied the shortstop's position, Crack went my leg like the shell of an egg, someone call a decent physician" (first broken leg) Then, in YHTBT M'ville he sings "broke my leg twi...

The Coastal Confessions show sounds more wonderful every time I read about it. I can hardly wait for the DVD; hopefully those of us in Indy will have electricity when it comes out.

Hmmmm...interesting topic. I answered "something else" because it was the closest since "something more" wasn't an option. I definately like the lyrics, music and lifestyle, but I'd also add his books, work ethic, business acumen, and gracious attitude to my list. Many of my stro...

Nope, nothing at the Dollar Tree by me except a bunch of copies of Al and Tipper Gore's book.

Thanks, Conched. You also had noted ASPL is at #3 on Publisher's Weekly. http://www.publishersweekly.com/index.asp?layout=bestsellerslist&channel=bestsellers&imarketid=2&listdate=12%2F11%2F2004 I think ASPL has a good chance of reaching #1. The Mitch Albom got a good jump with the made-f...

A Salty Piece of Land is #3 on the NY Times list. (Looks like the Mitch Ablom book got a boost from the made-for-TV-movie that was on last week.) If you haven't gotten and read ASPL yet, you're missing out on a great one!!! http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books/bestseller/
