My parents always have Buffett playing in the car, although they're antisocial (their words), so they hate going to shows (although they have been to one). That was Columbus 2 years ago, wasn't it? Maybe they won't go back because of what they saw on the big screen. :lol: I didn't have the advantag...

I would not say that I am a Lone Parrotthead as my 6 y.o. son and 8 y.o. daughter are Phanatics as well, but my wife has not migrated yet. I get the "can we listen to the radio" from her when she gets in my truck. All I have is Buffett CD's in the changer and just signed up to Dish Networ...

Are You The Lone Parrothead In Your Family?

Are there any BNers here who are the lone Parrothead in their family? My conversion is only a few months old now. I wouldn't say I'm obsessed. More like "enlightened". I'm not doing different things in my life, I just see life a little differently. Well, I don't think my family gets it. My...

I kind of wonder if Mac hasn't always written a better Buffett song than Buffett. I would definitely say no. Face it. Buffett's forte' is writing songs. Like many other great songwriters (Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Jerry Jeff Walker and others), Buffett's vocal ability is about average with...

I'm sure the link and potential vulnerability wasn't intentional, and if you have any way of assuring us our computers aren't compromised in any way, that would be great! All I can really say is that the page was built to look like a real BBC news article. But otherwise, it's a normal, run-of-the-m...

The Missing Link

By the way.... I designed and created that BBC webpage, myself. I inserted the link. It's completely harmless and it was meant in fun. It's true that some malicious people create hoaxes for the purpose of hurting others, but I assure you that there's nothing there that would hurt anyone's computer j...

Finding My Own Personal Margaritaville

Where Is Your Own Personal Margaritaville? Nice to meet y'all. Jimmy talks a lot about his early days in the Catholic church and how he grew up fearing for his eternal soul. Similarly, I was also a member of a large, organized, world-wide church. Everything I had (my time, my talents, my energy and...

Dallas on April 28th

In fact, I just got tickets for myself and my 14 year old son. We're going to be there at Smirnoff Music Center.

I've never been to a JB concert...

Looking forward to it.
