With all the debate about what JB song Willie Nelson is putting on his next album, I wouldn't be surprised if "Cowboy in the Jungle" was it, along with maybe "SOASOAS", "WDWGDAS", or even a slower song like "Coast of Marseilles" (I know, Keith Sykes wrote it) ...

since you're going to be gone for some time, when does your passport expire? alot of countries won't let you in if your departure date is inside of 6 months to 1 year of it's expiration. Mine was reissued back in June, so I'm good until June 2016. I hope I'll be home by then. (Although if I like Oz...

Yeah, I know how that feels. I'm having to be really careful when packing my bags for size, weight, capacity, etc. because I have to take enough stuff to get me through 5 months abroad. Most anything I buy while overseas will get shipped back home to the good ole US-of-A not long before I leave to c...

I think that's one of his more underrated songs.

start by checking their website for acceptable size, weight, & number of bags. all airlines have tightened up their luggage policy and are pretty strict about it. Yeah, I've done all that, but I'm talking about real-world, practical, first-hand info. We all know the official word and the real w...

Only good thing about that it allows one more concert (hopefully a good country show) to replace that thing that they call "music". Honstely I still do not know how DMB is still around. Saw him perform at Farm Aid 97 and still want my hour back of time that I wasted having to hear him &qu...

When he played Nashville, where was the venue?

I can't think of a really good venue in Nashville for a Buffett-sized crowd. I am a huge Titans fan, though, so I'd LOVE to see him play LP Field sometime. It'll hold just under 70,000--I think he could fill it for a one-night-only performance!

Qantas Airlines questions

Anybody have experience with this airline? I'm taking it from St. Louis to LA to Auckland, NZ, and then to Sydney, NSW (over a two-week period). Any luggage suggestions? Any good or bad experiences that would be helpful? How's the in-flight food/drink? Never flown Qantas before, nor has anyone I kno...

I hope when someone points this out to Matthew that he doesn't try to cash in on it like K. Chesney did. There can only be so many coattail riders on a single performer. Look at all the knockoff Sinatras out there (gotta love Harry Connick, Jr., but if it weren't for Sinatra's music you have to wond...

Look, it's been 10 years since " Christmas Island" and the CD is 'bout worn out.... You've got 363 days .....wink, wink :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D I'm always for as many JB albums as we can get because I love them all, but could he really do another Christmas album? Seems like he's alread...

He said it twice, so I don't believe it was a slip of the tongue. Also, making minor changes does not equate to writing a song. If it did, he would have registered a songwriting credit and listed it on the CD. Think what you will about making a mountain out of a molehill. I'm a believer in making s...

I agree it's an individual call on these things. Whatever floats your boat is what's right for you. Amen.

Gotcha. The only only thing about what I said last that really bothers me is it makes me (unfortunately) have a thought in the back of my mind that maybe he's not the songwriter he once was, but is just one helluva showman and salesman. All-in-all, though, it doesn't matter too much because the end ...

I will give you this much: I have noticed over the years that more than 50% of the songs I really love and really associate Jimmy with were in fact written or originated by other artists. Only a minority of the songs I really, really like are written by Jimmy and Jimmy alone. That bothers me a littl...

I guess that's a fine point to make, I just don't see what it accomplishes. I stand by the statement that he didn't mean it the way it sounded and this isn't a huge deal. More likely than not Jimmy paid for the rights to record the song, so there's not much wrong with him saying that (legally, at le...

So why is Jimmy taking credit for someone else's work?


If that's not a copyright issue, what is?

And what is your point? I guess I'm not following what you're really trying to say.
