I am soooo sick of all the derogatory comments about Jimmy
Buffett!!! The man brings much happiness to many thru his music and has for many years. He gives unselfishly of himself to relief efforts like Haiti and the Gulf Coast. He has opinions and a mind of his own. If you do not agree with him that is your right but to constantly bash the man over his set lists, concert prices, where he performs and does not perform, his politics and so on is getting so tiresome. If you feel that all these issues effect your ability to enjoy his performances which he shares with us at no charge year after year, please go to another site or start one say like "I hate Jimmy Buffett" because there are many of us who do not wish to hear you whine in discussion after discussion anymore.

If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Life is short, live long!!
I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

See Ms Mod! Here's a perfect example of what I've been saying!
People with less than 100 posts should not be allowed to have opinions!
People with 101 posts make perfect sense!

Re: I am soooo sick of all the derogatory comments about Jimmy
Seriously, to come to what is CLEARLY a fan site and spout off on something negative in your first 5 posts isn't exactly a way to win friends. And if you aren't going to go see him anymore because of his views then why be here in the first place? I suppose certain people think they can turn his fan base against him.. WRONG.

Re: I am soooo sick of all the derogatory comments about Jimmy
In essence, I agree. The show Buffett is doing in Gulf Shores he is doing out of the goodness of his heart. I prefer to say thank you, and leave it at that.

Re: I am soooo sick of all the derogatory comments about Jimmy
Yeah but at least once you KNOW the source most of the time we generally agree to disagree in favor of our bigger interest which is the music and having a good time. To come out swinging with your first few posts is just not cool. On top of which to say you aren't going to go see him anymore? Ok great, that's your choice but we don't need to hear about it.C-Dawg wrote:I dunno....lately been reading the posts of some with 1000's of posts, and they are just as full of &%#@ as the noobs.....I hate these damb political threads, it brings down the vibe of the whole board.sunseeker wrote:you got a point there SPH

Don't get me wrong, post count doesn't make your opinion matter more or less, but PLEASE PRETEND you want to be part of the group before starting a riot.SeattleParrotHead wrote:My comment to MsMod (Penny) the other night wassunseeker wrote:you got a point there SPH

Re: I am soooo sick of all the derogatory comments about Jimmy
I'm not sure if it makes a difference if you have 5, 500, 5,000 or 50,000 posts. You hit the nail on the head - this is a fan site. If you don't really like the guy...why waste your time here? I don't know...I'm just saying.ScarletB wrote:Seriously, to come to what is CLEARLY a fan site and spout off on something negative in your first 5 posts isn't exactly a way to win friends.

Re: I am soooo sick of all the derogatory comments about Jimmy
I have less than 100 posts,always been more of a lurker than a poster. I have acquired useful info that i could not have obtained anywhere else from this site. I have sold tickets to a few people and met a few Bn'ers. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, no one can change that, and you don't have to agree with anyone else. I love Buffett and his music,nothing he says will change that, some people just take things too seriously. As the man hisself says: Breathe in, Breathe out, Move onSeattleParrotHead wrote:See Ms Mod!

Re: I am soooo sick of all the derogatory comments about Jimmy
If I was at work I'd have the picture of the people applauding to post. So since I'm not at work

Well I do agree with what you're saying but you know sometimes you've got to understand the 10 stages of a Parrothead and realize that someone is at a stage 8. That being said, if you are at a stage 8 just joining a fan site just don't seem right

Re: I am soooo sick of all the derogatory comments about Jimmy
Jimmy has said it best many times, it is all his damn fault! But he makes some good music and generates a lot of happiness, when you are walking away from a concert look around, most people are happy and that says more than anything.
