Yes, but you have to think of another reason this thread is a stuffed as it is:

Somehow I was detracted from my original view here. I don’t tire of the songs Margaritaville, Fins or Volcano themselves (CIP I do), I just don’t see how so many are missing how the arrangements for the last several years have sounded rushed and seems like they just want to get through them. I don’t...

Believe me, I’ve learned such a lesson already and “liar” may simply be a poor choice of words. But understand I didn’t mean he was a 100% lying person. He’s not. I just thought the lyric in the song was ironic compared to what he’s become. The lyric lied, not Jimmy, ok?

No. I’m really sorry it’s come to this Auntie, and the fighting is partially, if not all my fault but it goes deeper than Jimmy not playing specific songs. This thread has “evolved”, if you will, to be about Jimmy getting the wrong type of fame. I believe he deserves a better reputation among the ot...

One lesson you'll learn in life is to say what you mean and mean what you say. You said, "He lied to us." You said he was a liar. I don't even think he misled us, honestly. Nevertheless, if you felt he misled us, that's the word you should have used. Calling someone a liar is fightin' wor...

That’s my issue exactly. Just because Jimmy wasn’t appreciated as a songwriter, he went and surrendered to the Party side of the Entertainment Industry instead. It works, and I do admit the atmosphere of the concerts can be every fun. To me, it’s really not what’s there that I’m complaining about, i...

You call someone a liar, and you'd better have facts to back it up..... His requirements for a show are pretty standard. Not over the top, at all.... Music is a business. Get over it. I didn’t say he was an all around liar, just in this instance he was misleading big time. I really can’t pinpoint m...

Ok, maybe I used the wrong word and/or your taking it to seriously here, it’s just misleading that’s all. You really don’t need to keep nailing me with that quote. Something inside me tells me that Jimmy isn’t really the Jimmy we all think he is. I recall a few months back when someone posted a link...

It scares me that I live in a world where Michael Jackson can own Beatles music and Jimmy Buffett can’t own Jimmy Buffett masters. :o Go figure! oh, and jackson only owns the beatles publishing, not the masters[/quote] I know, that’s why I wrote “music” not masters there. I still thought it was a g...

What, you mean that (like the Stones say) “You can’t always get what you want” ?

This is all just my opinion, I don’t get why life lessons like this and “Life isn’t fair” have to be woven in.

Believe me, I would think the same thing, but I do in fact know of catalogues that have sold. Like I’ve said, Elton John bought his stuff from MCA in the early 90s. ELTON JOHN!! Who, it goes without saying, is so just a little more popular, and dare I say it, more successful than Jimmy. If they gave...

**INSERT VERY LONG STRING OF SAILORLY LANGUAGE THAT WOULD FORCE PHJIM TO BAN ME FOREVER IF I TYPED IT** WTF?????????? This is about the stupidest comment I've heard you make yet. He's given us fantastic music, leading to fantastic, life-long friendships, and arguably provided the soundtrack for the...

We’ve all been through this. Money talks big time it Jimmy would offer a good sum (he won’t), and if that sum was large enough MCA/Universal wouldn’t have to have the catalogue for sale, they’d happily sell it I’m sure.

Or maybe his outlook changed over time. It happens to everyone (or are you still wearing your Superman Underoos while being afraid of the dark?). Damn, you saw them!! :o :lol: Please don’t tell anyone… Seriously though, that’s called growing up, what I’m talking about is letting those little green ...

It scares me that I live in a world where Michael Jackson can own Beatles music and Jimmy Buffett can’t own Jimmy Buffett masters. Go figure!

how many shovels does it take to bury a dead horse . .? ? Maybe, but it’s still on topic as far as I’m concerned. Lots of people. To suggest otherwise is naive. People still respond enthusiastically to those songs, and as long as they do why would they not get played? It only make sense as an enter...

BTW in my highly unscientific poll from last night, when I looked back at the crowd during the "standards" (Margaritaville, CIP etc) there was certainly no lack of enthusiasm. Of course, I don’t expect them to sit down and frown the entire time those songs are being played. But think of i...

...so he has to push more of his old stuff (not quite sure what SYKBH means) SYKBH: Songs You Know By Heart, 1985 compilation with this tracklisting: Cheeseburger in Paradise, He Went To Paris, Fins, Son of a Son of a Sailor, A Pirate Looks at Forty, Margaritaville, Come Monday, Changes in Latitude...

I don’t know any of that for sure, it just seems to really be evidenced in the high speed way the songs are played, that’s all I meant.

yep.. so if you don't like what he is doing don't buy tickets and if enough people don't buy them he will lower prices or at least I might have a chance for good seats again. Sigh… and then there are the people who don’t read all the posts. I never said I dislike 100% of what he does, I just have s...
