I take it that means that the Topless' won't be in attendance? I haven't looked yet but everyone who has is saying the same thing.

***RANT WARNING***

SO WHAT HAVE THE BLOODY FRENCH PEOPLE DONE TO DESERVE SHOWS EXCEPT PROVIDE SNAILS AND FROGS LEGS? :evil: :evil:

DO they have a Parrot Head Club - NO

Do they have phlockings of all the Parrot Heads and raise money for charity - NO

Has a french Parrot Head spent all their day like I have today getting things ready so 200 parrot heads can party next Saturday night and raise money for kids with Cerebral Palsy? NO

Has any bloody french people heard of Buffett ? Probably NO

RIPPED OFF

If he does - it will be when I am in the USA ... for sure ...

However, what I DONT GET is that all this tour of France is going to do - is enable those USA citizens with the cash flow - to go to YET MORE shows - (ie these are those that can flit all over the country and caribbean and see what they want) ....

Yet - the aussies who have all his music ... he has ignored since 1987. I am lucky - I have had the financial means to get to the USA to see him - most others have not - and for them I AM CRANKY!

So yeah who cares . . . um, I hate Paris. Loud. Noisy. Rude. Good food but too tourist driven which I hate. If he played the Riveria I would go or somewhere in the French Alps which is just gorgeous. Paris is such a rip off . . . good for you Jimmy I bet you play alot of s*** off of Far Side but you can have it . . . I was expecting something slightly more exciting. Have fun to those who hop the puddle.

I dont think its a tour... He said he has other business in France... and he has always wanted to play Paris. I would bet that it will be a mostly French audience.... or Americans who are in France or England already.... just a guess :wink: However I hear your plea and I am so sorry that you are disappointed. :(

Sorry to be rude but either get a second job, listen to radio margaritaville for free, put in a cd and blend a margarita, or find something else to do. I am now going to get in my yacht and sail down to Surfside beach and then hop in my limo to get to Nantucket airport where I will board my private plane and head to St. Barth's for some cognac with Jimmy and family.

Enough. Geesh . . .

I dont need a second job - I have the financial means to get to the USA to get to a show - if you read my post you quoted - it is that I am cranky for those that dont have the means ...... and there are many Americans that dont have the means to get to shows as well.

You know - for years here, I have sat and read through and supported people in their rants or pleas for "why did you miss Nashville" "Why not Boise" ... "what happened to Denver" ..

Well cause I am a one person band on this - I am on my own ..... but I have EVERY RIGHT to complain like every one else does ..

Now - someone pass me a happy pill please ....

Air and hotel from Boston is about $1200 on Travelocity - I'm going to skip it and hope for another Anquilla type concert this winter. If the surprise had been Tahiti or Fiji I'd have found a way to make it work.
In the meantime I'll be having a LARGE September. Gillette on the 8th (haven't decided whether to go on the 2nd) and then a GREAT party given by friends I haven't met yet on the 22nd! :D And MOTM in Nov.
It's all good.
