Yup, it really isn't fair that NYC gets another show even if it is for a great cause and Jimmy probably is doing it for free, or at the very least, much less than he would do a normal concert for. Add in the fact it is way out the price range of probably 99.9% of parrotheads and it is clearly just Jimmy showing favoritism towards the Northeast yet again.

It's not a "Buffett show". Read before you open mouth and insert foot.....

It's a gala event to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project, a project for which the Stephen Talkhouse has been an ardent backer. Jimmy Buffett has agreed to perform to help raise money for injured servicemen and women. You know - the people who were injured defending your freedom:

About the Wounded Warrior Project

The Wounded Warrior Project is a not for profit, 501c(3), organization that provides comfort and aid to service members who have been severely injured in the current military conflicts around the world. For more information about programs and services to assist the wounded and their families, please visit our website at http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org.

Normally, I'd say something like "everyone is entitled to their opinion"... In this case, let me be blunt: Sit down and shut up.

And Abraham Lincoln... it's been attributed to him and Twain... and a few others.

Whoever? It's very appropriate.

I didnt know what it was for. And it looks like Sen. Jim Webb will also be there. Good for them.

Triathlete-Parakeet2 · Post by **Triathlete-Parakeet2** » May 28, 2007 10:11 pm

and Wes Clark. I've shook hands with both of them, but not Jimmy.

Its too bad that with all that military spending, very little of it goes to help those who are injured in battle.

Too bad I have to go out of town after work tomorrow. The Armory is literally right behind my office building. I could have heard Jimmy and supported a great cause all at the same time.

tjnyc · Post by **tjnyc** » May 31, 2007 6:16 am

Was there last night. JB was supporting a good cause and we all should check out wounded warriors and the work they do.

5 songs first two by himself Cheesburger (requested by the honory) then Son of a Son then the Nancy Atlas band came out and they did Changes in Attitude and Margaritaville and JB said goodbye.

But of course everyone wanted more....... so they did Volcanoe.

I had the best table in the place closest to the stage. Video taped it (I stink at video) but will remember it forever.
