Wow, you guys sure have some strong opinions!! Aint it grand?? I've been going to Jimmy's concerts for many years now and have lost count to how many I've been to. The last couple of years, this one in particular, I have noticed that things are changing. The crowd is different, and maybe I see that ...

Great post (the first one), and sorry you got the DUI. But as others have stated it could have been worse. I've been fortunate enough to never have had a dui, and there have been times I could have. We all know better than to drink and drive, but 90 percent of us are guilty of it. When we go to conc...

Well as usual, Lee has the answers. THey get paid by the week, hotels and transportation included (coach :) ), and the per diem they get depends on the city that they stay in, but since they tend to stay in deluxe hotels where morning coffee is like $25 , the per D doesn't always go too far...

Don't remember the Yacht gig. But I do remember how you could win tickets to the morning showgram. I won twice and went. Had to be there at some ungodly time in the morn. Remember how he'd let kids call in and do wacky stuff to win tickets? My son and his friend who I gave rides to everyday to schoo...

After leaving Chicago Johnny B had a show in I believe LA. His radio show in Chicago was a classic. He and Buzz Killman (now on Steve Dahls show) were hilarious together. I wish he was still here. Buzz was the best!! His deep voice and funny quotes. Miss them guys. I would love to hear Johnny on th...

I love Jonathon!! When I lived near Chicago I used to be a "regular" on his show and won many different contests - even won tickets to a Buffett Concert.

I do have one of his cd's but the lyrics to the song asked about are not on it. sorry

Food - just an idea, but you can make fruit-kabobs (soaked in rum if you please). Mini cheeseburgers: vanilla wafers for the bun, mint cookie for the meat, colored frosting for the condiments, and darn, I can't remember what someone used for the lettuce and tomato, but it gives you an idea. At my pa...

I admire that Jimmy has protected his family from the limelight. It is obvious that they are very much in love and value their privacy.

We sat dead center 4 rows up behind the sound stage. The sound was not that good in the Shark Tank, we got alot of bouncing from the walls. The crowd was ok, not the typical Alpine or Chicago kind of people who dance and sing their hearts out. I noticed that in Orlando too. Think it has alot to do w...

Hi Parrotheads! I don't get much time to sit down much and post like I'd like to. I do browse and read much of what's happening here. Just wanted to extend an invitation to anyone going to the San Jose Concert this Saturday. We'll be setting up a pre concert tailgate at the Travel Lodge near the sta...

I'm new to the Reno area. Originally from northwest Indiana. Moved across US to be with Dis'n'dat from margaritaville.com. :)

Reno's awesome, but even this journey will be a short one.

Off to St Thomas SOON!

The whole Alpine is a great package. I've been to vegas, chicago tweeter, key west and orlando to see Jimmy, and hands down....ALPINE rules. The parking lot turns into a city of parroheads in a matter of hours. The fans come from far and away. Lake Geneva turns into Margaritaville with cars and fins...
