Has anyone here seen the rock documentary Festival Express or the the portion of Gimme Shelter (or Monterey Pop , I forget which) when the Grateful Dead is about to take the stage amid fans hollering that they should be performing for free? It seemed to be a weird time when 60s hippie ethics were s...

On one hand.... What about BMW's made in South Carolina? You can drive a 3-series BMW, but not a 5 or 7. What about Mercedes made in Alabama? Well, as long as its an E-class. What about the Nissan's made in Tennessee? Ok, you can have your Altima's and trucks, but no Maxima's! On the other hand.......

Jimmy Buffett years ago wrote and sang the jingle song for Corona Beer............. Wasn't it an original song for Corona though? I think that's a lot different than Lynard Skinnard selling rights to Busch. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama is now being used by KFC as well, but at least with Skyn...

A variation of this was used in a movie, but for the life of me I can't remember which one. I want to say that Dom DeLuise was in it. Maybe Canonball Run.

Whether or not the timing is right on this story, Little Feat will record their next album at Shrimp...

Waiting patiently for the DVD. That was my girlfriend's birthday, and it seemed like a good night to ask her to be my wife, so I guess I had a good reason to miss it.

Re: Buffett at Shrimp Boat Sounds

Just a heads up but Jimmy has been in Key West at Shrimp Boat Sound with the great jam band Little Feat working on a new CD. The CD will feature a variety of guests including Jimmy and it will be released on his Mailboat Records imprint. Band member and keyboard whiz Bill Payne will also be on the ...

That sounds wonderful, I'm just wondering when Little Feat became a "jam" band. I think it was when they first performed "Don't Bogart That Joint" It's a term they have fought over the years, but lately have started to accept it a little more. It's I term I generally avoid mysel...

There was a presale for Columbia this year organized by the local Parrothead Club, I think. Check with your local Parrotheads to see if they know of anything.

Re: Anyone get their U2 tickets?

I couldnt believe that I was able to get floor seats for $51.50. I am so excited to see them, now if only I didn't have to wait until Nov. 8) Just so you know, you didn't get seats. U2 does standing room only on the floor. I don't know what the deal was with Ticketmaster on Saturday, but I couldn't...

Is he an apple guy? I've seen him here and there with a laptop (pictures, Mini Matinee, etc) and they've always looked like thinkpads. Does he have a nice powerbook or something now?

Speaking of Apple and JB - anyone else notice that License To Chill was never put out digitally on iTunes or Rhapsody? Anyone know why that is? I've been wondering about this too. For a few months it seems like Jimmy and iTunes were all about one another (I know Jimmy's an Apple guy anyway), but Me...

You said it was part of a strip, I was just wondering about the characters, setting, how they ended up there, that sort of stuff. It works great alone, I was just curious about the rest of the strip.

They collect stories from newspapers and web sites around the world. It's a good way to get a run down of what in the news right now. I also check http://news.com pretty regularly for tech related news.

If there's no mint, you are looking at a caiparinha. Sometimes called a Brazillian Mojito, a caiparinha is white rum (or cachaca a Brazilian liquor like rum but made from sugar cane instead of molasses), lime juice, and sugar. Good stuff, but I'm a big lime fan anyway. I believe it was someone on th...

I'm with you on the Batmobile. My first reaction was, "Looks like a damn tank." I guess they were looking for a huge departure from the last movie, but the Batmobile should be sleek. It should look like its moving when it's just sitting there, I don't know if this thing will look like it's...
