This is exactly what I've been thinking. That's all I need is a "Yes, be patient" or "Not this year." How hard would it be to do that for the people who have been so loyal to you for so many years?drunkpirate66 wrote:I disagree with whoever said that Jimmy Buffett owes his fans "nothing." He owes his fans pretty much every thing he's got. The fact is that a major part of how Jimmy's empire was created was by a predictable annual tour schedule that facilitated his fan's planning so he could make his ultimate profit. In doing so, for decades, his wealth, that we created through our loyalty, permitted him to own hotels, casinos, gigantic yachts, one of the largest private fleet of planes in the world, Manhattan pent houses, St. Barth's villas and many - many other luxuries. What Jimmy Buffett owes his fans is atleast a little communication. It would take him or someone from his management team 8 seconds to put up a message on margaritaville.com that states - Yes, I am touring - be patient. Or, no summer tour this year - check back in the early fall. Other major touring bands have had their schedule out for over 3 months now. Unlike many huge profit concert acts, Jimmy set the precedent for his fans expectations regarding his tours and he knows that. The lack of communication is telling. I am through waiting. Plans for June have been made. But the bands who had the respect to put their tour schedules out months ago already have my money and I was happy to give it to them.
