I've been thinking about how the Parrothead phenomenon has changed over the years, also how the movement was inspired by different songs, albums and musical styles of Jimmy. This takes into account his books, the growth of his money-empire, the Internet, DVD's, etc... and how those things affect the overall experience of the fans, both at home, and at concerts.

60s.

Since there was no "BOOBIES" choice, I went with the 2000's. That's when I joined Buffettnews and REALLY started Buffetting.

The 90s... *sigh*

Tough call. The current decade is great for trading and collecting music from different concerts. With Siruis/RM and all the technology, it's great. I couldn't even say what decade is best for the *actual* music since everyone is different but I like alot of the stuff from the 70's and early to mid 80's. As for tailgating, well, the parking lots only seem to getting crazier as the years go on but personally, I think I hit my apex in the 90's. I do miss the early 90's for ticket purchasing, ie walk into a Tower Record at 11AM the day the tickets go on sale and easily get two lawn seats.
