7. Jimmy Buffett is his real name. He could have gone the Sting route and called himself Mango

hmmmmm Mangoheads - it could work

1. ... his audiences range in age from 13 to 63.

I've seen a lot younger and partied with a lot older.

3. Who doesn't like tiki bars?

Well duh...

10. ... A devout Parrothead can go to a Buffett concert, read Buffett books, buy Buffett CDs, shop at Buffett's stores (there are now nine Margaritaville stores, including one in the Montego Bay, Jamaica, airport, where you tumble into one just as you get off the plane), eat at Buffett's Cheeseburger in Paradise and listen to Buffett's radio station 24/7 (Radiomagaritaville.com). That's a whole lotta coconut in your telegraph.

Check, check, check, check (MoBay and MoBay airport), not yet

, check.

My coworker keeps calling us "crabheads" but magoheads could work.

That was great!! (Although I do wish that it would get through to people that Buffett is only half-owner of the first 5 or 10 CiPs, and Outback owns the rest).

Ralph MacDonald wrote soul classics like "Where Is the Love" and "Just The Two Of Us."

Wow, I didn't know that. He's written some CLASSICS! I love "Just the Two of Us."

Yes, and he has the Grammy's to prove it

Three Grammys, as a matter of fact - one as a songwriter, one as a record producer, and one as a percussionist.

"Where Is The Love" and "Just The Two of Us" are perhaps Ralph's best known songs but he's written numerous others, released a series of critically acclaimed albums, and been the percussionist of choice in the studio for nearly 40 years, playing with everyone from Billy Joel, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Aretha Franklin, David Bowie, Frank Sinatra, Harry Belafonte and more...

For example, you know that famous conga solo on Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al?" That's Ralph.
