What is the topic? What are you aiming for?

Jimmy has said alot of things that are noteworthy IMHO, but some of it might not be best for school. LOL.

Quote on what topic? There are plenty buy narrow it down a bit. You can always use lyrics as well, or is that not allowed?

Yeah, redbrightlight...we can provide a lot more help with a little more direction. E.g. how old is your son? What's the subject they're doing this for? What else does he want to include in his Buffett report? Etc.

The only one I can remember has to do with tequila and it goes something like this " I drink tequila by the shot, gives me instant gratification". I believe it happened when he was asked if he drank margaritas. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Whose doing the project? You or your son? The the average 'keet should be able to do this. Ask him what he likes about JB music or style? That is the first step. Take that 'concept/noun' and come up with an adjective that describes both it and JB.

So what quote are you (is he) using? :D

Jimmy Buffett is like the GOVERNMENT because HE SPENDS OUR MONEY FOOLISHLY
