Was there really an A&E Biography made? If so I think I missed it.

Well, I guess I'm in the minority who thinks the article was fantastic.

If we can't laugh at ourselves and our obsessions, what's the point?

Jimmy played to 45,000 in Miami on this tour.

Hah!

The end of the "WE NEED FLORIDA DATES" thread. Y'all missed that he was even there.

I agree that the article was stupid and not funny.

I saw that earlier today and was going to post it, but I decided against it. I didn't really get the point. It's a bad thing to be Jimmy Buffett?

That was a great article. Very funny. As always, the onion did their homework.

As The Onion goes, not their best work. They are often totally hysterical. But still amusing at least.
