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...

Who made the song popular is beside the point. He didn't say he recorded it or rearranged it, he said he wrote it. Where do you draw the line for "He can do whatever he wants"? I'm not a lawyer but the copyright issue is probably a little gray if proper credits are given on the CD jacket,...

JB was drinking Bud in the video? I never really looked. But obviously it wasn't Corona. Ugh. So he's playing in to the corporate monster. I always thought Bud was something you buy when you don't have enough money to get a good beer, the other choices are even worse or you can't find decent bottle...

At the Aspen show 12/22, JB said he wrote Bama Breeze. At first I though it was just a slip, but then he said it again. The BN song database lists the songwriters as Chris Tompkins, Josh Kear, and Mark Irwin. So why is Jimmy taking credit for someone else's work? He may not have written it, but wou...

What part of the country are you in Trojan? If you are on the west coast, check into Garratt Wilikins and the Parrotheads. They are very good and have a steel drum as well as an original reefer playing with them. They are about $2200 (?) if I remember correctly... I actually live in Kentucky, but t...

For anyone that may know...

In what city is A1A based?

What's the average charge to book a show (ie, a wedding)?

How much extra is it to have Fingers join the band?

Any info would be helpful.

If you don't like the Beatles forcing yourself to like them probably isn't going to help matters any. Either you like them or you don't. I don't think there's any rule saying that just because your significant other likes them that you have to like them too. I realize that I don't have to, but I fe...

I thought he was referring to MTV showing videos instead of crap reality shows?

Or am I confused? It's been one of those days...

"False Echoes (Havana 1921)"?

I went to the Superbowl in San Diego in '88(?)-Denver vs Washington, and the halftime show was Chubby Checker. What other hit did he have then "The Twist"?...I really didnt give a crap any way, just drank more beer... I've seen a Chubby Checker show before and it was good, but not good en...

Jimmy's said before he's a Beatles fan, so I feel that this isn't too far off-topic. I have quite a dilemma and am in need of advice: My girlfriend is to the Beatles what I am to Jimmy Buffett: a rabid, loyal, devoted fan. She saw her first Buffett show this summer in Indy, LOVED it, and is now hook...

Excellent point.

Never said I know more than you. It's just my opinion. For all I know, I couldn't be more wrong than I am. Wouldn't be the first time.

Yup....saw Buddy Guy last summer (2005) at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis, MA. Buddy is the man! Eric Johnson opened up for him which was a nice treat as well. I saw him not long ago at Harrah's Casino in Metropolis, Illinois. "Mustang Sally" and "Voodoo Child" burned down ...

I think the line "South of Margaritaville, I've been told" fits perfectly, but the rest of the ad-libbing is quite frivolous and unneeded.

Buffett doesn't get the airplay or the press other bands get nationally...... Just how many times has Buffett been on 60 Minutes now? There's lots of bands that would love to add that to their resume but only a precious few have ever had the privledge of being interviewed on there. There's also the...

A margarita volcano is so understated. Then I guess we should all be happy I'm not in charge. Just trying to have a thought or two amongst fellow fans. No need to be so critical. Hey i'd love to see it.......also you listed acts that are known world wide....i 'm just trying to be realistic and thin...

I'm only 20, but I'm with the person I'm spending the rest of my life with and I'm damn glad my prayers from high school weren't answered. Unfortunately, the love of my life is on a plane to Germany to see her sister and nieces for Christmas, so I'm a little heartbroken. Maybe I'll listen to "...

He also played Bill Murray's gonzo lawyer in Where the Buffalo Roam . Definitely an excellent actor who'll be missed. One of his more underrated performances, if you ask me, and a pretty underrated film. Murray is brilliant in it as well, but Boyle hit the role on the head. Such a kind, warm man. A...
