Ya know, I made that comment based on local experiences with Margaritaville New Orleans employees...assuming they did so everywhere. Perhaps only the NOLA location does so?

The guy next to him had to come over and say they did have the song and tell him it was a Jimmy song. You would think if your going to be a Radio Margaritaville DJ you should have some feel for Jimmy's song catalog.

I've got a few Margaritaville Orlando stories....Quint wrote:Really??

As some of you may know, the RM studios were located at Universal Orlando until just a few years ago when they moved. Back a few years ago when I was there, I asked my waiter where exactly the RM studios were. He said that it was his understanding that RM was based out of Key West. But, then he proceeded to tell me that he knows the guy who runs it (I'm assuming he was talking about Steve) because he comes into Margaritaville all the time. As he walked away, I was thinking to myself, "If it's based on Key West, why would he be coming 400 miles up the road all the time to Margaritaville Orlando?"
And, back in November '03 when JB and Alan Jackson were opening the awards show with 5:00 Somewhere and the night that 5:00 won the vocal event of the year, my mother was in Orlando on business. She decided to go to Margaritaville to watch the awards show with phellow parrotheads. Guess what? They kept the videos that are always on playing throughout the night and never switched the TV's to the awards. Luckily, I had taped it, and she got to watch it when she got home. But, it made me wonder if the employees there even knew he was on TV. How many of you think that if the CEO of your company was on primetime TV and was nominated for a major award that if you were at work at the time, every single TV in the building would be tuned to it?

Well until I saw him at GW, I though he was more island looking but he looks more like he is puerto rican putting on a Jamaican accent. He didn't annoy me so much until I saw the island sham he is portraying.
Re: Wayne
He's 100% Jamaican, even if that doesn't fit your narrow-minded image of what a Jamaican is "supposed" to look like. Apparently you don't know many real Jamaicans.spoonerhizolehound wrote:Well until I saw him at GW, I though he was more island looking but he looks more like he is puerto rican putting on a Jamaican accent.

I can't believe you'd accuse a man of lying about his heritage because he looks different than you expect. I'd best warn my fair-skinned Jamaican friends that you're going to call them liars too...

Re: Wayne
YAY! I found another bleeding heart liberal, PC minded person to tell me what kind of person I am. You definitely do not know me, so you need not comment on people or topics of which you do not know. I didn't accuse him of anything. I simply stated my "narrowminded" opinion. I suppose I left out the LOL. Some people need their humor spoonfed to them. I could have sworn that i put a smiley in there but I'm sure that would have been overlooked anyway. Your assumptions of me are what's narrow minded. Your accusations are the same as the "narrowminded" accusations that you extracted from my post. Some people see what they want to see. Next you'll be telling me that Michael Jackson isn't white. Well, I think you'll recover from this bitter tragedy and personal trauma that you suffered and live to see the world change to better suit your beliefs. OK....here it comes......watch for it.....r u ready........LOL Come back, come back- back to Jamaica!Mr. Page wrote:He's 100% Jamaican, even if that doesn't fit your narrow-minded image of what a Jamaican is "supposed" to look like.
