Re: I Love This Bar

He should cover the original version of "I Love this Bar" which was originally called "Tourist Town Bar" written by Michael McCloud. Toby Keith stole the song from McCloud when he was in Key West. Toby Keith sucks. I'd like to hear him do another McCloud song, "Just Came Do...

Did anyone notice it only has seven song on it? There's probably more that we haven't heard about yet. I was reading an article on Guy Clark in American Songwriter magazine (current issue - Sept/Oct). In it, he claims that a song he co-wrote with Chuck Mead, titled "Cinco de Mayo in Memphis,&q...

They always seem to do their news stories from that block on Duval. I'd guess it's so that they can go hide in the La Concha if there's a monster storm surge. I also recommend the KW Webcam site...though it has a tendency to die during hurricanes, right when you really *want* to see what's going on....

This album's had more titles than the British royal house.

Anyone want to lay odds as to whether this is the really, most sincerely, final title?

I do kinda like it though...

My take on the whole "cover song" thing - If Mac McAnally writes a song that he intends to be recorded by Jimmy Buffett (or anyone else), but not by himself, then in my mind that isn't a cover song. If Mac records a song first and then JB (or anyone else) thinks, damn, that's a good song ...

I was going by the simple fact that if you didn't write it you're covering it. I am *very* curious now...what sources can you cite for your opinion being "fact?" Are you in the music business? Did you help coin the term "cover song," and if so, can you document first usage? Or a...

Well, something to keep in mind is that these songs were written at different times, and perhaps his tastes changed. Also...here's a shocker...what is in a song is not always 100% the literal truth. The way I've been taught, songwriting is about finding the universal truth behind the literal truth -...

You people have way too much disposable income. I refuse to buy an overpriced blender just because it has "Margaritaville" on it. *nods* I just recently bought a new heavy-duty Oster blender for less than half the price of the FCM. It doesn't do the fancy shave-the-ice thing, but it makes...

It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere IS a cover, since Jimmy had nothing to do with the writing of it, just as all the other songs he's covered (Spider John, Lovely Cruise, Stars On The Water, Steamer, I Don't Know And I Don't Care, Pacing The Cage , Apcolypso - er, is that how's it's spelled? etc...).

I know Jimmy has about 50 plus covers over his 20 plus (wasn't License To Chill his 26th studio album?) studio albums, enough for him to release a box set of covers (ha ha). But he only seems to do one handful - BEGirl, Lovely Cruise, Southern Cross, 5 O'Clock, HGLookin', WOTWorld on tour. I might ...

Re: Jimmy Buffett on MySpace

Anyone know if the Jimmy Buffett profile on MySpace is an official one or not? I've looked at it and can't tell. Also, any fellow BNers on MySpace? PS. I'm not scamming you or anything. I'm on there too: www.myspace.com/trojan_sixtyone Dunno if it's really him or not. Not sure I care all that much,...

I have friends who've started doing this, and they're on a small enough scale that they're probably just recording digitally, then engaging a bank of on-site CD burners, to get the show. No patent needed, and it's off-the-shelf tech. Some of them have even started with post-concert DVDs as well. I'v...
