Great info. Thanks! I didn't remember that.

Also, I think it's a great title for an album of all the kinds of things Jimmy likes...

Have you ever faced a Buffet and you just don't know exactly what to choose, because there is SO much good looking stuff there?

I think that is where Jimmy is coming from ...and that Boofay guy has lots of influences to choose from... songs, lyrics, titles, music, background vocals, instruments, friends, trips, family, sports, merchandise, business, hobbies and LIFE itself as with "Surfin in a Hurricane!"

An album with NO theme, develops a theme! What will Jimmy choose in front of his Buffett Boofay? :) :)
I'll probably take a little bit of all of it and "clean my plate and go back for more and more!"

Only time will tell...
remember how many times Take the Weather With You changed titles?

When I first read it was going to be the title of the new Buffet(t) album for a second I didn't know...but, when I read the Rolling Stone piece I thought it was really clever and a good title.

What do you think about it? I admit the only album title of his I don't like is License to Chill.

Wrote about it on my blog!
Rolling Stone piece? Is it the recent issue?

Thanks.
With a little love and luck, we'll take the sky!

Maybe Jimmy stayed at this hotel outside of Berlin? It is next to a bike path after all.

Have you heard it yet? Not that it matters. I drink the "cool aid" or is that kool aid?

Check this out!

Especially notable for the subject at hand begins with "A Big Night in Bamako" about 1/3 down. Cool pics to go with the cool story, about the "Buffet Hotel de la Gare, an old train station..."

It wasn't in the recent Rolling Stone, but it was in there a while back.
