My last concert?

[jbfinscj]

Still have mud in your hair from a 1991 show? Dude you better take a shower

Alright Mom!!

There now don't you feel better, and for the record I am not your mom. Hell I am not even the correct gender to be your mother....Wow what a creepy thought, me being related to you.

Yeah, were getting into a really weird area and I'd kind of like to stop now.

Who called who mom? Remember I am shooting for 500 posts, I will comment on just about anything at this point.

Do you get a gold star at 500?

I`m not sure, I`ll let you know when I find out.

No one is here is a snob, they are just a little wiser with their money then you.

Dear me. No, people have made different choices with their money. It has nothing to do with being wiser. What a snobbish, not to mention arrogent statement.

You really don't mean that do you?

Wow did you just pull a sound bite out of what I said. Here is the whole text:

Cut the guy some slack already. Maybe he took it a little too far, but I agree with him in that the original post here was a little bit sanctimonious. it kind of sounded like a football fan who gets in the middle of a discussion about seat locations with the lame "I've got the best seat in the house, on my couch in front of the big screen" garbage. and then after his team loses, instead of taking it hard, he praises how he has family that is so much more important in his life than the results of any game. Of course your family is more important to you than a concert, if financially it is any question at all, then you have no business even considering it.

And what was that I'll miss 20%, maybe 40% of you. I am guessing it was a backhanded way of saying the tired old, too many drunks, too much partying, I am all about the music BS. If you don't like sand, stay away from the beach.

And while I am at it. Enough with the ticket prices. Boo freaking hoo, ticket prices went up a little bit. LAWN SEATS ARE $45 PEOPLE!!!!! $45 for the event I look forward to more than anything else all year long. You can barely get a cheap seat at a baseball game for $45. Forget about an NFL or major college football game. A $45 ticket to see Jimmy Buffett may be the last great bargain in the world, and everyone is whining about it. And to the inevitable, "I would rather miss the concert than sit on the lawn" response, I have one thing to say, You are a snob, I'm not going to miss you.


NEXT.....What is up with people today? It is not the $45 ticket everyone is upset about, it's the tickets that cost over $100.00. Just for the record I could have afforded the ticket very easily this year...HOWEVER I have seen Jimmy multiple times and for the most part the show is the same every year. If you don't believe me, go out and purchase any or all of the "Live in" CD's that he has been releasing. No one is here is a snob, they are just a little wiser with their money then you. With that being said, I don't think anybody cares who you are going to miss or not miss this year. I am also guessing that you enjoy having beer spilled all over you while sitting up in the lawn. Learn how to talk to people and show a little respect. Anyone else want to get me started today, because I am on a roll.

At no time was I ever talking about you. I`m surprised that you even made reference to that post. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Fair enough, but isn't the original post that I responded to selfish in tone?
He was talking about how HE doesn't want to pay to see him. I was saying I would.

But the person actually did pay to see him, they just said they wouldn't anymore, at least not at that price.

Correction. He paid LAST year, but is out now. Therefore, more tickets available for me! That's all I ever said.

Thanks but I still see the comment "more tickets for me!" as being not only condescending but selfish. Some folks have very good reasons for not attending this year's tour, I fail to see why other see that as an opportunity. You can bet your sweet ass it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to make obtaining tix any easier.

Well, Jah, you are entitled to your opinion, but sometimes you have to realize that people occassionally make jokes.

That, I do but until now you never alluded to it being a joke. The "humor card", always a good one to fall back on if ever you're called on something.

I make a lot of jokes, but you might notice that I never say:

"EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION....THIS POST IS A JOKE! LAUGH AT IT!"

I kinda prefer to let people judge for themselves if they find it humorous. I'm guessing you didn't.

If anyone wants to celebrate in the "Parrothead Social Area" I just posted my 500th post

I just noticed how you agreed with my observation about it being selfish at first and now it's changed to you trying to make a joke. In any event, it's no big whoop but that "more tix for me!" thing, when meant seriously is something I see as BS.

[Jahfin]

If anyone wants to celebrate outside, I just broke wind.

[Parrot Monkey]

I could afford the ticket(s), but it’s still nonetheless a big decision to make whether to go or not, but I haven’t even been presented with the decision yet as no Florida dates have been announced at the time.

The original intent was actually both as a joke, and as a "here we go again".

When I came back and found myself "under attack" (I know that's a bit strong, but you understand what I'm saying), I decided to defend the content of the post.

Sorry if you misunderstood.

Just to make this thread a lot longer with quotes, I might add...
