I'll be there Jimmy, if I can, just give me a few days heads up...or maybe I'll just be in the right place at the right time. Thanks for Anguilla...as if I haven't told you that enough...and from the front row in Concord too. You rock JB...

Really?

BULLSHRIMP He's a business man he's out to make a buck.

Happy to entertain you.

His Anguilla, St. Barths, Paris...all the really unique shows -- not out to make a buck. Were you there? Do you know how ridiculously cheap the tickets were? Do you know how much of the proceeds were given to the cause? Quit eating the bullshrimp, I think you have food poisoning and should seek immediate medical attention.

I agree he's a fantastic business man, but I wasn't commenting on the day-to-day operations of JB. I was only speaking of the unique shows such as this Austrailia gig, Tahiti, etc.

Rather than feel entitled to be in the know, go along with the ride...who cares how much you spend on shows and/or airfare...quit yer bitchin. You aren't entitled. Period.

Well aren't we just special?
Jimmy's occasional show for charity aside, the man is in the business of making money. I don't give a rats patootie what you think of his business skills and I'm quite sure he doesn't either. The bottom line here is you attempting to speak for him about how he is tired of people bitching about certain aspects of his tactics (like pulling a show after announcing it thery by leaving fans in the lurch) To presume that he'd rather have a small concert filled with koolaid drinking fans there by making less money then a large concert filled with all of his fans there by making a lot more money leaves you looking pretty damned stupid if you ask me.

As for being entitled? I am as much entitled to my opinion as the next person. You don't like that? Go find a country with less freedoms to live in.

Now if I have said anything to cause a moderator or the owner of this board to be upset please accept my apologies and if you feel the need to issue me a 30 day ban for my words then go ahead it won't offend me in the least. I'm a big boy and I can take my punishment.

<<yawn>> wow

Well, Jimmy does give a patootie about what we think...at least that's what he told me when he thanked us and shook our hands. Let me ask you why the hell you bother wasting your life on this board just to complain about the very social group you belong to? Seems a little pointless to me. Whatever I guess...I'll leave the whiners in the dust while I'm enjoying the shows that I'm able to make it to...and be thankful that I can.

P.S. Gotta laugh here. I'll take your advice. I'm going to find a country with less freedoms to live in. I'll be joining my better half next month during another deployment. Now, sit back, enjoy your opinions, popcorn, beer and freedom. [smilie=asa.gif]

For us "Parrotheads" downunder, Jimmy's tour in the 1980s was a godsend. The aborted tour here a few years ago was a big blow. Bring on 2010 and 'Parrothead Mania' rockin' the Southern Hemisphere!! Fingers (and toes and all other appendages) XXXXXX!

He does owe you guys a show since he's been saying for YEARS that he would be there. Just don't get too excited until the tickets go on sale, no matter what Margaritaville may say. :wink:

creeky · **Posted:** November 1, 2009 1:11 am

Well I have given up even worrying about it :lol:

I am just gonna buy a ticket - if he comes here and ticketek have them on sale ......

Knowing my luck - I will be in another country when it happens :lol:

parrotheadOZ · **Posted:** November 5, 2009 10:07 pm

So, any new news of a possible Sydney stop for Jimmy. I have lived out here for over a year and my buddies keep teasing me about the Buffett shows they went to this summer - I need my fix

Maybe if the America's cup is decided to be in Sydney ... he might get here ..... would be great if it were a venue at homebush (Olympic Park) ...... just a nice little train ride for me

Where in Syd are you? I am upper north shore ...

parrotheadOZ · **Posted:** November 9, 2009 7:17 pm

Yeah, Homebush would be great - I just live in Balmain. I know he has mentioned the trip down under before - just hope he actually makes it down.

SeattleParrotHead · **Posted:** November 13, 2009 9:49 am

Well, I don't know if JB is gonna show up down under, but it looks like JT (with a friend!) will be there!
