Party at the End of the World is really the only track on Take the Weather With You that I find cringeworthy. It's listenable but definitely not top shelf Buffett to my ears.

Tiki Torches, here's some stuff I posted re. covers back on p.2: If I understand you correctly, any artist recording songs they haven't written is recording "covers". The reason I don't agree with your definition (aside from it's inconsistency with the standard) is it potentially over-rec...

Who care's if he cheats on the words. *shrug* I've got no problem with it except he said he'd give it up if he ever had to use a teleprompter. Plus, he's really screwed up some songs by totally forgetting how the song goes and the words, some of these flubs have even made it onto official releases ...

Hit the Orange Peel, the Grey Eagle or the Westville Pub for some good shows.

Which David Wilcox? I think there's a couple out there.

Hey, give the guy a break!!! He's not half bad!! and they say 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery'.... I respect that he admires Mr. Buffett..... just as we do...and Hicks is a fun guy...its not surprising that he'd like to create the kind of fun that Mr. Buffett does. ...and who know, may...

It's a political event, not a concert. If there's music being played, it's a concert. So while I'm sitting here in my office listening to my CD player I'm not at work, I'm really at a concert? Music is being played. You really aren't too bright, are ya? To clarify for the feeble of mind, make that:...

So if a song written by a songwriter but not yet recorded by the songwriter isn't a song, what is it? Of course it's still a song but that term doesn't differentiate from a song written by a songwriter yet not recorded by them and an artist recording a song that was already recorded by a well known...

What I'm gathering from all of these gripes is that are some parrotheads out there are more upset with not being able to attend this JB gathering. I bet if we were able to attend no one would care less who's paying for it. Come on you know I'm right :wink: I believe you've head the nail squarely on...

The point remains, your question was answered. It might not have been answered to your satisfaction, but it was answered. Life is full of disappointments. The answer I recieved to my question was the definition of a song written by a songwriter yet not recorded by the songwriter was that it is call...

As for the answer to my question, I still haven't recieved one. I asked for a term to describe a song which was written by an artist, yet not recorded by them. If you consider "song" or "new song" a sufficient answer to that question then you're sadly mistaken. That's the point ...

According to the following definitions the term "cover" is an accurate description even if the song in question was never recorded by the original writer. cover version –noun a recording of a song by a singer, instrumentalist, or group other than the original performer or composer. Also ca...

I don't feel that it has to be. I certainly don't feel the need to listen to what is considered popular by the masses if that is what is meant by "relevant".

I'd say he hasn't recorded an album that lived up to his original promise since the 70s. I've still purchased all of the albums he's released since then on the day of their release and I love Take the Weather With You, it's just no A1A.

It has nothing to do with the discussion not going in my favor and everything to do with you getting answers to your questions and them asking the same questions again because you don't agree with the answer. If the line of conversation bothers you to such a degree one would have to wonder why you ...

Fingers also has his fair share of solo records which I'm guessing are kind of hard to come by at this point.

It wouldn't be in my top ten, that's for sure. That doesn't mean it's a bad album, it's just not up there with his best work, which is something I don't think he'll ever top, especially at this stage of his career when he seems to be relying more than ever on the work of other artists.
