When Jimmy started out, he said that he would have been happy if he could find a bar to play in. The music back then was about the music. Today, it seems that Jimmy's goals have deteriorated into commercialism, one money grab after another. In "Hoot," the movie, the hero-kids express a great deal of disdain for developers. I'm afraid that Jimmy, for some time now, has become the developer. I find all this disappointing. I don't want to be walking through some airport somewhere and see a Margaritaville. It takes away from the song. It takes away from the music. And it raises the question: Would you like fries with that?
