Ebert liked it and so did the Boston and Wash DC critics, per this am LA Times. The Times critic himself thought that the "screenplay was flat" whatever that means... suppose it means something in this movie town. We are going to check it out tonight. Meanwhile, where is Boca Grande? We've...

Actually, wasn't the boat 'Kontiki' and it was supposed to be the kind of boat the early Pacific islanders had used to travel?

If you have listened to his real early stuff he was sort of country then. He started there. He always has said he liked his songs to tell stories, like the Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot whom he admires. And then he likes blues and old fashioned 40s stuff... he draws from lots of sources. You...

Think the recent deaths of his parents would have had an effect on him. Know that the unexpected & violent death of my prof. brother did on us 10 years ago. Makes you slow down and appreciate each day more, and realize how lucky you are that you have got to do what you might have done. ALSO make...

Lived in Barbados for two years, got to put baby sea turtles into the sea, learned to paint (pictures, not walls), make the best damn rum punch in the world (secret ingredient) -- and never went to a live Buffet concert, in spite of listening to the man's music for 25+ years, until we came BACK from...

Um, know his wife went to school there, but I mean how big is Columbia compared to NYC area. Lot more peeps up north there.
PS Caribbean hurricane season is June through November, actually until the Christmas Wind begins to blow, which can be anytime from later November until mid December.

Didn't see that review... don't get the OC Register as it sort of really isn't a newspaper, get the Times instead, but the reviewer really nailed it. Thanks for posting it! Just found a 2 year old Summer Travel Edition of Sunset and guess who is 'introducing" the Hawaii segment, this was two ye...

I would ask him to play 'When the Coast is Clear'... grew up in a beach town too, and love the way it feels. Where is the winery... is it here in CA? we like to do weekend trips to different wine grape growing regions. Jimmy (my Jimmy) would just want to go sailing and sailing and sailing. He says t...

I go up to Lake Coeur d'Alene for a week or more every year, which is in that area. We go up to Sandpoint, home of blue cheese, pie and Coldwater Creek (it's a clothing chain) outlet store. We take a boat ride on the Lake. Lake Coeur d'Alene is like Tahoe only not spoiled. Eat at the famous Coeur d'...

Hmmm you could stay at Banana Bay in Marathon part way down, eat at Cabot's on the water, someone in Marathon can tell you how to get there. Great sunset views, live local music. Make sure you go find the no name bar on Big Pine. Blue Heaven in key west is a must. We had an interesting discussion wi...

It did not rain at Irvine on Thursday night, in fact it was beautiful. It rained on the Saturday night people.

Are you a Huskie? Jimmy (mine) went to UConn, grad school. [Aksh, we have a nephew there now-- beautiful babygirl is a grad student at UMass also.] Seems a far way from here in CA where de sun has come back out. have a brilliant vacation. Never drink ANY rum but Mt. Gay, the Extra Old if you can fin...

Agree -- Caneel Bay is super. Also the snorkeling on St. John. If you are on St. John, make sure you drive over to the "other side" and spend a couple of hours at Skinny Legs, which is a bit hard to find but anyone there will be glad to show you. We liked the restaurant Morgan's Mango... M...

Elton John (on his Christmas fundraiser CD) said that JB was the smartest man in America, creating an audience that just follows him wherever he goes.

It was a fantastic concert. We had the same feeling. We were glad to be there. It felt like there was this big bubble of sort of light and happiness over the whole space, starting with the sunset on our own mountains. Southern Cross... we couldn't believe when he played it! Wow! Reminded us of the f...

Topless was right... it was One Particular Harbour (Yeah!) and he even picked the songs right, except-- he didn't do Stars on the Water! Loved the JB version of the Mamas and Papas CA Dreamin'. Also weather, it was a great day Thursday and an excellent evening. They are going to be COLD over there t...

Of course it is... there are posters in LOTS of the bus stops here in Orange County CA. It's a family film... JB said it himself last night "Good Family Entertainment". What we didn't realize was it's based on a Carl Hiassen book... he writes great mysteries for adults, lives in FL. Didn't...

YOu have to walk over a hill to "town" but it consists of one shop, one ice cream stand, one store and one civic building and some houses and a school... I mean that's the town. Also goats in the street and don't let your pet chase 'em cause the man who owns them will shoot your dog if his...

Rum -- and ONLY Mt. Gay... preferably the Extra Old, but usually you can only get Eclipse in the States. Doorly's Blue Parrot is excellent also. You can sometimes get Appleton Old Estate, but that is Jamaican, not Bajan, so we pretend it doesn't exist unless desperate!! And no ICE mixed only with ch...

Yup, definitely Love in The Library, too. Oh and Jimmy's version of Stars Fell On Alabama. Ranks right there with the classic Georgia on my Mind.
Slow Boat to China.
JB oughta do an album of slow dancin'
