discovery channel is doing this thing where you can vote for the "Greatest American" and then they'll run a TV special and they'll count down the top 100 "Americans". Vote for Jimmy!
p.s., the link above is through AOL so i know a few people out here are apprehensive about going to AOL links, so maybe theres a link on the discovery channel website, but i'm not sure, i haven't looked

That's a tough call to nominate the 5 greatest Americans. CBC did something similar just recently with the Greatest Canadian (Wayne Gretzky made the cut, not sure who was named Greatest).
At any rate, without a ton of thought I would nominate...
Jimmy Buffett (because you asked)
Jimmy Carter (not a great president, but one of the greatest people ever)
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thomas Jefferson
Tom Brokaw

Don't know if it worked, but it was worth a try.
