For those who were at Fenway for the show I'm curious if JB explained his choice of Defying Gravity (by Jesse Winchester) as the dedication to those who perished.
Thanks

Defying Gravity & 9/11
I know Jimmy Buffett, Jimmy Buffett is a friend of mine. Son, you're no Jimmy Buffett!

Defying Gravity
He also used it last year after the Space Shuttle tragedy as a tribute at the Raleigh concert. He got choked up halfway through the song.
It was very appropriate and classic Jimmy.

he didn't fully explain, but as he intro'ed the song, he made reference to 9/11 being the next day, then said something to the effect of "we lost a lot of parrotheads that day" and then he let the lyrics tell the story.Key Lime Lee wrote:He didn't explain it... but I think the lyrics make it pretty clear...
Carry on as you know they would want you to do. ~~JB, dedication to Tim Russert

DEFYING GRAVITY
I live on a big round ball
I never do dream I may fall
And even one day if I do
Well I'll jump up and smile back at you
I don't even know where we are
They tell me were circling a star
Well I'll take their word, I don't know
But I'm dizzy so it may be so
I'm riding a big round ball
I never do dream I may fall
And even the high must lay low
But when I do fall I will be glad to go
Yes when I do fall I will be glad to go
I live on a big round ball
I never do dream I may fall
And even one day if I do
Well I'll jump up and smile back at you
I don't even know where we are
They tell me were circling a star
Well I'll take their word, I don't know
But I'm dizzy so it may be so
I'm riding a big round ball
I never do dream I may fall
And even the high must lay low
But when I do fall I will be glad to go
Yes when I do fall I will be glad to go

Must admit, initially it was Defying Goodman. I think I get it now. Niece piece of work by Jesse Winchester.
