keep playin it if it makes him happy. I'm fine with Jimmy doing a few covers. Doesn't matter if he is singin one of his songs, songs we think are "his" or a cover. I'm all for the experience. Glory Days is okay, SB is great. What if he never did "City of New Orleans" at Wrigley? I am glad that Werewolves is done. That was my least favorite song of all time way before Jimmy covered it.

The group I was with were actually excited to hear him play it. I think it's one of his better covers. Ringling knew the backstory behind the original cover and I thought that was cool.

If he wants to do a couple of covers of songs he likes, that's fine. But he did 27 songs Monday night and I think 9 of them were covers. For someone with a musical catalogue like Buffett's there's no reason to have 1/3 of the setlist be covers.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

I can take or leave Glory Days. I just know that if Monday night's show was any indication I think this is going to shape up to be a fantastic tour. I will not let one song that I can take or leave ruin my whole night if he should happen to do it at any of my shows that I go to.

now I am very glad that On The Road Again is gone, and I hope it stays gone. Then again, I never liked the song back when it came out originally.
