Maybe, but it’s still on topic as far as I’m concerned.
Key Lime Lee wrote:Lots of people. To suggest otherwise is naive.

People still respond enthusiastically to those songs, and as long as they do why would they not get played?

It only make sense as an entertainer to play what works and what appeals to the broadest base of fans, not to cater your show to an unsatisfiable niche audience that will always find something new to b**** about anyway.
Ok, maybe replacing M’ville wasn’t really a good idea, as every artist has to have that one song they play every concert. As for the others, I really think Jimmy needs to stick up for himself (ok, his catalogue rather). How about, for example one night he plays CIP, and Fins the other?

That’s my point exactly, it’s about the money now, not the music. If it were about the music, Jimmy would be to each corner of his catalogue, not just peck at it. I know, I know, it’s his job, it should be about the money, but would he go broke if he dared temporarily drop CIP? “The majority of the people there are gonna be SYKBH maniacs, so we gotta target the majority” is probably what he’s thinking. Not every last decision the man makes has to be a smart business move.

“I wanna make my music for money no, I wanna make my music for me”

Alex Harvey wrote those words, but I’m sure Jimmy sang them to us at the time because the lyrics spoke very much of his opinion.

He lied to us.

Or maybe his outlook changed over time. It happens to everyone (or are you still wearing your Superman Underoos while being afraid of the dark?).

What you really mean is that Jimmy should think the way you do. As far as I can tell, there's no evidence that suggests Jimmy is doing anything he's opposed to. It's you who doesn't like his choices.
Parrot Monkey wrote:Not every last decision the man makes has to be a smart business move.
It's not about smart business moves or money, it's just about being an entertainer. If you're lucky enough to have songs that resonate with the public, you play them for the public. You'd have to be an idiot not to.[/quote]

Nobody lied. Again, to the best of my knowledge Jimmy isn't being forced to do things he doesn't want to to. He's just making different choices than you would like him to and apprently (for some reason) that's remarkably difficult for you to come to terms with.

But in the end, they're his choices to make as the professional and, judging by the sold out dates and the crowd response, I'd say his way is working.

Damn, you saw them!! :o :lol: Please don’t tell anyone…

Seriously though, that’s called growing up, what I’m talking about is letting those little green cloths (money) run every little decision you make, which is good to be careful with money and spend wisely. But with Jimmy, he could totally treat us to more old forgotten songs while dropping the same stuff without going broke the next day.

The entities that own Buffett masters aren't selling. Why sell something that makes you money?

I guess I'm not sure what's scary about that - welcome to the music business.

WTF??????????

This is about the stupidest comment I've heard you make yet. He's given us fantastic music, leading to fantastic, life-long friendships, and arguably provided the soundtrack for the laid-back lifestyle that so many of us enjoy, at least on a very part-time basis.

In reponse to your statement above: B***S***....

JB has earned every one of his dollars through hard work..... What, he's supposed to turn down opportunity in the name of art? PU-LEEZ...... :roll:

It's just a song lyric, not the freaking bible..... and if every song lyric he sang was true in his life, he'd be in trouble with a lotta people, starting with Mrs. B.... :roll:

JB's band, JB's show, JB's way.... if you want to see a more mellow JB show, pay big bucks next time he does a benefit.

If he wanted to. But apparently he doesn't want to, so let's accept that and move on.

Per usual, Lee has made the case in a far more logical and unemotional manner than the rest of us.... :P

I go now..... :wink:

We’ve all been through this. Money talks big time it Jimmy would offer a good sum (he won’t), and if that sum was large enough MCA/Universal wouldn’t have to have the catalogue for sale, they’d happily sell it I’m sure.

Gee, was it that offending that I would just like to hear some different stuff instead of the overplayed songs?
