It's a little tough to say. I was around 89 or 90 so do I'm not sure when I qualify. Got really into concerts and everything in early 90's but started listening in late 80's.

Quiet and Shy,
Thank you!
Are you coming over to the bar, with us and help us fire up the grills and participate in many adult libations?

RIPH,
Come on over and join us and share a wee bit of the finest Irish we find...ahem....strictly for medicinal purposes of course, after all it is cold and flu season and I just heard a cough....

Tiki,
It is not up to me field those questions at all.....but I would like to try and answer the first one,...if you will allow me, to do so. INMSHO.....it has to do with/or about degrees and interpretation/perception of what a fan is.
No matter what group you will have, you will always find some that do not want to go with the main flow so to speak...the more people involved .the larger that number of people will be.....That does not mean that they believe any less in the cause.....perhaps just the means on which they are being carried out, for example....

That does not mean one is a bigger or lesser fan or believer than someone else is,...just the way they choose to express it.....Look at the SuperBowl or other football games, for example...some people paint their whole upper bodies and run around without shirts and jackets....yet other people sit all bundled up and wave a penant or something... I hope you can understand what I mean and am trying to say....Both are definitely fans or they would not be at the game.....I would say that it just means that one chooses to run around painted up and risk frostbite in some cases, and the other person did not. YET the one painted up running around with no shirt would understandably be considered radical by some and other fans want nothing to do with that stereotype...

Recently Philly Eagles fans down here got a nasty reputation or maybe they always have had one, I don't really know.Anyway I met several that were nice and polite and wanted no part of the stereotype that was going around for "Eagles fans" all considered being, rude, obnoxious, and general pain in the BLEEP! (among other things...)
Does that make any sense? Does it help? Maybe a bad comparison...but it has to do with perception and the bad apple spoiling the whole barrel.

That is just INMSHO.

As for Question #2. I cannot answer that for him

Eagles' fans have a long standing reputation of being a-holes.

I know of numerous incidents reported on the news about them.....one couple with small keets was harrassed at Disney World....but the ones I met were nice and polite as could be....

As a Raiders fan, I can relate. Am I Raider Nation? No, but I would love to be!

Thanks for keeping it real!

Welkies,

Glad to be of help!!!

I first heard Jimmy in the early 70s. It was Come Monday. Heard it on a few radio stations on a summer vacation with the parents and family to Montana. I was hooked. I first saw him in concert in 77. Yep........opened for the Eagles on the Hotel California Tour. By the next year I was "introducing " the Buffet sound to everyone I could as a college Freshman. Have seen him near thirty times since then.

Not exactly sure (without reading back a few pages) what you mean by the nametags, DonnaKayDunbar.......


I just know that I started to enjoy Jimmy more after the first concert I was able to see him at in Colorado in 1996.

That's the best suggestion I've heard all day!

Okies Let's Make it So ...Number 1............. ENGAGE!

Buddy, I'm thinking of you...

a) Cheers is on, so you now have the face of Sam Malone

b) Fired up a pizza ove n instead of a grill (not really, ordered it actually), but indulged in many many cold wet adult libations!

...Enjoying the poll! Loved Jimmy since the 80's but made it to my first show in the 90's... Now the garage is overflowing with my parrothead supplies!

i got SYKBH when it came out.. been hooked ever since

On about page 4 I made my observation about this really being about someone not wanting to be labled. Someone came back with a blank "Mynameis" tag and I just decided it would be clever.

Since I had to go to work, it wasn't until night that I got to make them and post them, so they look a bit outta place.

Posts always take precedence over work... Supervisors understand that

Jimmy says it all best

"Scales and clocks just can't be trusted
Keys and locks are destined to be busted
Metaphors were never made for keeping score
And I'm feeling for the sound of time

Only time will tell"

Tiki,
Well as long you are thinking of me I guess we are sharing that pizza and adult libations.

Sam Malone's face? is that good or bad? LOL I think I am much better looking, even others don't .....LOL
Have a great weekend!

Been a parrothead since 94. Got hooked when my older brother was playing it in the car one day and havent stopped listening to Jimmy since than. I always make at least one concert a year.

i'm a late bloomer with jimmy's music. i'm in my forties and heard margaritaville and come monday since late 70's. but got hooked in '95 after a partyboat ride with a friend. he was playing the boats cd from BBB&B. didn't realize jimmy was so much more than those two songs. been a fan ever since.

I 'discovered' Jimmy while in the 12th Grade when a classmate nominated "Margaritaville" as our Class Song (147 times at that) and the higher-than-mighty Principal would not allow it to be on the ballot as it had alcohol references. I had heard of Jimmy, but did not know the music until I went and purchased SYKBH, nd then I was hooked from then on out. That was 1987.
