I know this has been posted somewhere but I can't seem to find it.
If you meet Jimmy, does he really liked to be called "Mr Buffett" or is "Jimmy" OK? Frankly, if I get this opportunity that I'm hoping to get I'll call him anything he wants, but I wouldn't want to offend.

Can someone point me to the thread or tell me what the real story is?

i'd call him sir!!!

Call him Jimmy.............trust me.

I've met a few "stars" in my life. I've always called them Mr or Ms whenever I first meet them as a matter of respect, courtesy and because "stars" can be kinda quirky. Usually after I address them with the Mr/Ms they tell me to call them by their first name but sometimes they don't.

That is what I was going to say, I agree. By calling him Mr. Buffett, you are showing you respect him very much. By calling him Jimmy, you are showing you are just a fan who likes his music. I think the "Mr." throws in a huge respect factor. Plus the guy is almost 40 years older than me, I HAVE to call him Mr.

I would call him Jimmy, because he's only a few years older than me.

I think I`d be speechless!!

When i met him i called him Jimmy and he seemed fine with it!

Me and my wife both called him Mr. Buffett and he told us to please call him Jimmy. So Jimmy it was from then on.

You can't go wrong with "Mr. Buffett"....

how about King Parrothead!!!...j/k

Thanks everyone, I don't know if it will happen or not but my friend and I don't want to look like "Lucy and Ethel meet Jimmy Buffett" if it does.

you could go with....Which do you prefer?!?!? Mr.Buffett or Jimmy? Im betting it would be the latter!

I thought about it and I usually don't address him. I just say, "hi"!!

There isn't really much of a time in your conversation to address him, as with most conversations.

You wouldn't say, "Hi, Mr. Buffett." You would just say, "Hi!"

I'm afraid I'll mostly be trying to avoid

"Hamana hamana hamana!"
