Jimmy buffett's Age

Post by doxadive »

I dont really know how to broach this subject so i will give you some background. I became a full fledged parrotthead about 5 years ago. since then i have purchased about 15 cd, gone to 3 shows, bought and read all the books, sign in here and discuss regularly, and listen to as much radio margaritaville as possible. this year i made not one but 2 phlockings to key west in a months time to soak up the 'jimmyness.'

this is the point of my whole discussion. before i went to key west in my mind i still pictued jimmy at about 45 years old, i guess in teh fruitcakes era. however after going to key west i immediately thought of him as no more than 30, the bushy moustache, wild hair, etc. so now when i see him and remember he is nearly 60 it makes me think. he really is no longer the wild party man who lives the nomad existence that we have all come to associate with him.

so in all my ramblings my question is, what age do you think of jimmy as when you listen to his music?

It depends on which cd is in the changer for me. I see him as he was whenever he recorded the album. When he sings live.....I see him as he is now.

I see him sans moustache... so older than when he recorded in most cases.

Honestly, I dont' really picture Jimmy too much when he's on, unless it's a live recording I'm listening too. I just sing along and try not to think too much.
