Could JB be thinking of permanent Vegas Show???

Post by TraderRick »

I've noticed Jimmy doing a lot of two-fers this year- Indy, Chicago, Boston, Vegas. It's obviously a smart plan of attack to conserve energy on tour- especially if you can sell out those venues as easily as he can.

I know I'm thinking the unthinkable here - but could it be that as JB gracefully ages he might be tiring of the perennial road tour and might want to set up a permanent home for his show- maybe Vegas or Miami ...or wherever he damn well pleases. Any thoughts?? We'd be there!! :lol:

Please Jimmy, not another Dollywood :o :lol:

I predict once JB retires he'll open chains of restaurants named after two of his most famous hits - Margaritaville and Cheeseburger In Paradise. He'll then go from town to town, playing surprise performances in each one.

Oh wait....nevermind.

perhaps when jimmy b tires of the road trips and people bitching about not hearing the songs they want to hear, may set up shop someplace like the flamingo or even m'ville, and do shows celine style.
then when he needs a vacation, people like jerrry jeff, kenny chesney, tod snider etc could fill in.

:D :) :( :o :-? 8) :lol: :P :roll: :wink: :pirate:

I think he should do it Little feat style, they have a four day festival in Jamaica with a couple full length shows and other stuff to do, wouldn't that cool? Spend four days in the Caribean with Jimmy, reefer and PH"S. He has mentioned before that he was considering having the fans come to him when he tires.

If Jimmy does indeed set up a permanent show somewhere I can assure you it will be TAILGATE FRIENDLY! :D :D :D

I highly doubt it....but think it would be a great idea if it happened! I even have an open showroom in my condo he could use....just set up the stage on my balcony and I'll sit in the lawn every nite. As long as the tickets are free, I won't even charge him to use the space!!!! :lol: :lol:

I can see it now....

Welcome To Margaritaville - The Theme Park

The Rides:
One Particular Harbour - A wet and wild water slide that shoots adrenaline into every region of your body before launching you into the most peaceful and serene lazy river you've ever floated.

The USS Zydecoldsmobile - Think Pirates of the Caribbean. Only bigger. And more Southern.

Far Side Of The World - Margaritaville's very own railway system. Ride in style as you are transported to the Far Side of the, er, Park.

Apocalypso - A ride so scary your brain will be mesmerized, your stomach will be churning and your lungs will be screaming. We guarantee you'll be dancing when you go.

The Trip Around The Sun - Absolutely the hottest ride in the park. Strapped to what looks like a giant birthday candle, you'll be lifted high into the air and spun around at dazzling speeds. You'll make a resolution to ride this one again and again.

Gypsies In The Palace - The best haunted house you'll ever visit. Take our advice, keep your eyes out for Snake.

The Gravity Storm - First you stand. Then you spin. Then you fall. Its just like being drunk without the need for alcohol (and frequent trips to the Porta-potty).

The Tampico Trauma - The tallest, fastest roller coaster this side of the Rio Grande. This one will make child's play of Six Flags' coaster-du-jour.


The Bars and Restaurants:
The Tiki Bar - Relax in Hawaiian style. Sample all the local flavors of this paradise. When your done, offer the Tiki Gods a sacrafice at....

Cheeseburger In Paradise - Visit the 845th location of this wildly popular joint venture between JB and Outback. You know how to eat 'em...lettuce, tomato, Heinz 57 and French Fried potatoes.

Gumbo - The best soup joint on the island. A wide variety of gumbo...you've got your seafood gumbo, your sausage gumbo, your chicken gumbo. Well you get the picture.


When the day is done....

In The Shelter - Head on over to our exclusive four-star hotel. The staff is dressed as hippy chicks and New Orleans shysters, but the service is top notch.

Ace - When the kids are in bed, head on over to our on-site casino. Its just a lucky roll away.

I like the theme park! It can't be in Nashville though it's too restrictive of an enviroment. It would be like trying to put it in Utah! :lol: I could see it in Las Vegas or New Orleans or Miami or off shore in the Caribbean.
