Jimmy Buffett: God's messenger or Satan's minion?
In response to all the recent dust-ups between the kool aid drinkers and the effigy burners, I figured it was time to settle it once and for all. Was Jimmy Buffett.....
A) Sent here as a gift from the heavens? The clouds parted, the angels sang, and a small reed basket washed ashore on the banks of the mighty Mississippi on that fateful Christmas morning (coincidence? you decide) containing the answer to the hopes and prayers of those looking for musical and lifestyle guidance. They had been lost in the wilderness of society and were looking for a guide to lead them for almost 40 years (once again, coincidence??) through the mindless mediocrity of the day to day existence to the promised land oasis of margaritaville?
or
B) Delivered to us from the bowels of the earth? The earth shook, the clouds thundered, the volcano (volcano? hmmmmmm) spewed forth it's lava and in its place was the form of a man created to do nothing but introduce the world to a new form of hedonism and self indulgence. Through captivating music and piratical lyrics, he led us down the primrose path, taking us from all that we knew and bringing us to a supposed eden, only to soon find ourselves overrun with drunken hordes and forced to worship at the temple of all things margaritaville?
You decide!!

Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.
I accept the new found man, and I set the twilight reeling.

Here we are, maybe it's because in spite of all the work we do
It's the child in us we really value
Here we are, with our fins up and our feathers flashing
Here we are, with our coconut shell brassieres chanting

Mods, feel free to lock this one.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Life is short, live long!!
I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.
