Buffett, who turned 62 on Christmas Day, long ago became an icon of certain baby boomers — perhaps the least-hip demographic in the country — by offering the dream of throwing off their responsibilities for his tropical party vibe.


Hell, I've been one of those all my life :D


Love this one too:

What he offers his fans is an accessible fantasy.

ummmmm........ I'll go out on a limb here an guess the writer hasn't listened to more than two maybe three songs.

Riveting.

I like this one: Landshark Lager, made by Anheuser-Busch, and Margaritaville Tequila, made by Seagram, are sponsors of his concerts.

Really? That sounds a bit odd.

What happens when we need a new hip, does that make us less "hip" or just "hip" in a Steve Austin bionic kind of way? :wink:

It's an AP article; it's appeared in a lot of places including SFGate.com.

Those of you with access to your local papers and an interest in other Trop Rock musicians might mention that we exist in the comments section of your local online paper. I did, and mentioned the Margarita MAFIA site. :)
