Wow, I didn't know we had someone on here who has such intimate knowledge about what Jimmy thinks and how Jimmy feels. We are truly blessed... Ha ha ha ha, no. I never said I could get into Jimmy’s mind and know what he is thinking, I simply said it seems that way, evidenced by the way the songs ha...

but you were obnoxious about it...... Obnoxious? You mean the part about "Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money..." Sorry, but you that's just why those songs are being played so often. There is a huge point everyone is missing when they say “Jimmy plays what Jimmy wants.” That phrase ...

I'm actually kind of upset that Parrot Monkey hasn't said anything yet. Oh, I’m here. Great find, I’m sure you’ll enjoy each one more than those cheap-assed, BS-filled, disgraceful CDs. If you were to make your own CDs form transferring/recording off your vinyls to CD, they would probably sound bet...

How could posting lyrics do such a thing?

Was there some “deadly” HTML or Java in there?

Gee, I think my opinions and everyone elses now take a back seat to this calamity!

The board’s gone nuts!!

Wino you know wrote:Just don't let one or two songs you don't care for ruin an entire evening for you when it's supposed to be one of the best nights of the year. That's all I'm saying.

And I don’t, that’s why I haven’t abandoned Jimmy and I still attended and listen to his concerts.

On the contrary, I think the drunken a-holes are the exceptions. At the Buffett shows I've been to the vast majority of fans can still walk when it's time to go inside for the show. Guess it depends on what concert you’re at or where you sit. And if you don't like what he's doing, stop giving him y...

I haven't seen concert attendance dropping, so obviously he must still be entertaining folks enough that they want to come back. Sure, not everyone agrees with me, but I know deep down many here think the same way I do around here, and they just happened to not be participating in this thread, as l...

There is a difference between making money off music and turning into a huge empire where it seems that’s all it ever was about. He isn’t always like that, but it seems more often than not as the years go on. I’m not saying everyone does the getting drunk thing, that’s why I said MOSTLY. You, me and...

wow.. he played stuff in there I either haven't heard in a long time or never heard him play!! I wish I had been there! Sure, this tour has been so great for just that reason. See, I have positive things to say too. Diamond As Big as the Ritz, Woman Goin’ Crazy on Caroline Street, Ragtop Day, La Vi...

It is obvious for many it is NOT about the music, but a big excuse to get totally trahsed and out of control and be obnoxious. Well, I sat back with my friends and drink a few Coronas and Margaritas and enjoyed a beautiful day and show. I really think that this stuff is way out of control...I wish ...

That’s probably one of my least favorite on the LTC album, I don’t know why. I’m not familiar with Williams’ original, so I can’t speak there, but Jimmy’s is quite the overuse of country singers and could even be seen as an over done cash-in to 5 O Clock Somewhere. Sure the whole album is loaded wit...

To me, evolving is just changing your sound or style from album to album, not weakling the arrangements of your earlier material.

I have seen Jimmy evolve from Down To Earth to License to Chill, but I’ve haven’t seen an over use of horn arrangements anywhere in there.

There's nothing wrong with saying we should be grateful he's still touring. We damn well should be. He could have hung up his guitar YEARS ago. I strongly suspect he could make a very comfortable living at this point off of his business interests alone, without touring. You're damned right we shoul...

Maybe I used the wrong them, but the live arrangements with the over use of horns play into the ground easier than the originals from the 70s.

Umm Hmm… This happens every time any criticism is placed on Jimmy on this board, and I do mean every time. Someone always says we should be glad he’s still doing his thing. Sure I’m grateful he’s still playing, but look at the others who are also still playing that have been around for as long as he...

I don’t mind covers, but I made a thread of KIND criticism not too long ago about things in the current live performances (and of the past years) that, at least in my opinion, weaken great songs or make them clique sounding. If interested, that’s here: http://www.buffettnews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?...

Someone asked a very good lyrics question a couple weeks ago that I never saw an answer to. Where did these lyrics come from? "Such a long haul to such a short fall..." Were those lyrics on another version of a Jimmy song? That was one of the acoustic solo performances from the “Exit Inn”...

Parrot Monkey, I agree with you. I have all the albums and remember when they came. Just hanging around reading all the notes and stuff while listening to the album is something kids today don't get to experience with their own music and that sucks. Sure they do, CDs include the same stuff vinyls d...

I know, it’s awful that you have to look for out-of-print items to be able to hear the albums that way intended and to see the visual portion. Yes, I said the visual portion of the album. To me the packaging is part of the album just as the music is, not some bonus that should be optional to include...
