Jimmy dismisses retiring any time soon!

Post by flipflopgirl »

Buffett dismisses the notion of retiring any time soon in an interview with United Press International "Jimmy Buffett relishes still being here"

"I’m still out there — where would I go? Retirement doesn’t look so interesting to me these days," says Buffett, 61, who kicks off his Year of Still Here tour Thursday in Atlanta. [correction the tour actually started in Houston on April 21st]

"That’s kind of an old way of thinking, retiring at 60. Come on — I still think I’m 40!" he said.

Buffett is also working on new songs but says he isn't sure when he'll record a follow-up to 2006's "Take the Weather With You.

So only 3 records so far for this decade. Maybe when the next one starts in 2011 he'll finally release the follow up to TTWWY.
