This one really for you?????

[STL Parrot]

The negativity around never fails to amaze me. An almost 70 year old man who is worth a half billion dollars who could ride out his years on a private island doing whatever he pleases is throwing a free party for his fans and you don't think that is a good thing because a bunch of strangers are picking songs you don't like? You all need some clarity as to what is important.

I did not mean to come across as negative. If I win I will go and enjoy the show no matter what songs JB plays. He could play all covers and the yellow album and I would be thrilled to be there. Would I like a better set list? Yep, but I'll be happy with whatever JB decides to play.

so what were your "write in" songs?

Ballad Of Skip Wiley and Bend A Little. But if I could change them, like I said on FB, just for $h!ts and giggles I should have chosen O.P.P. and Baby Got Back.

The image of JB twerking to either of those songs would be hysterical.

I will say this is really cool. But, WHY are people voting for songs they hear every year? It baffles me. They should have left SYKBH off the choices.

The greatest hits have an unfair advantage

Very true!

You would think I would have thought of that yesterday. I had a Leinenkugel's Big Butt Doppelbock because "I like big butts and I cannot lie."

You all need some clarity as to what is important.

I don't think I'm being negative, it's more that I'm kind of puzzled. Fans have a chance to pick a setlist and looking at the list of songs that are trending, 9 out of the top 10 are songs that he plays at every show. If you have a chance to choose what songs you're going to hear, why would you choose the same old stuff that gets played every night? For example, I've seen Bruce Springsteen in concert maybe 10 times. My favorite Springsteen song is Rosalita but he hardly ever plays it, I've only heard him do it once. If he let fans vote for a setlist, I'd choose Rosalita over, say, Born To Run, which he plays a lot more often.

I wasn't specifically talking about you because your baseline is inherently negative so for me to consider you being negative, by normal societal standards, you would have to be like Eeyore on a bad day. Here is a helpful meme (just change "adventures" and "shenanigans" to "tailgating" and "Jimmy Buffett shows"): http://lancashiremind.org.uk/wp-content ... eeyore.jpg That is how I feel about you. Yes Larry. Even the "love" part.

That being said, I actually agree with you and the consensus of BN. I wouldn't choose any of the Yellow Album songs either. The only difference is that I would focus more on the "Jimmy Buffett is playing in Key West and that is really cool" part of this instead of the "why are people choosing CIP" part if this.

Don't hurt yourself when you fall off your high horse.

. . for some reason, I see Jimmy having some fun with the lists people send in . . as in . . . " and coming in with 16 votes is a song some of you might recognize " . . .

. .then break into Buck Butt the Turtle . . . ! ! . . or . . ? ? ?

. . another thing to remember is, now-a-days a lot of the crowds at concerts were not even BORN when Jimmy was pumping out some of his best music . . . so all they know is the CIP, Margaritaville and WDWGDAS image . . so it stands to reason that those are the songs they vote for . .

The problem with the set list is most people will pick the greatest hits. It's not that people are voting for other songs, the problem is the other songs are really splitting up the votes. The greatest hits have an unfair advantage

Agree. Well, if we win the grand prize, we'll go, otherwise it's just a small venue concert with the hits. Been there, done that and loved it. Don't get me wrong, but we will leave the tickets on the table for someone else.

Yup, we saw the ultimate small venue didn't we?

Chicken Box, out on Nantucket Island?

That was mine.

St Barts Jon, though the Box would be VERY cool. I haven't been to Nantucket in WAY too long!

Ha, ya Pam it was awesome! I still chuckle remembering Jim walking in from work and saying, we are going to St Barth to see Jimmy play. The look on his face was priceless. The most expensive free concert ever for us. Worth every overpriced Euro too. lol

Jon, Nantucket sounds like the place to be. Just saw a House Hunters and now it's on our bucket list to visit. Pam, I know you love Nantucket. I like the fact you bike around!!

I like to think I am an exception to this. Though Jimmy played Live By The Bay the year I was born- I still love all of his old albums. It is why I am a phan. Some of those older albums are arguably some of he best american song writing!

Jon...I'm completely frustrated with the fans who don't get anything past CIP or 5 o'clock and WDWGDAS. Jimmy is so much more than that. Yes....they paid the bills and put him on the charts but he's got 648 songs in the BN database and I would give anything to hear a few from the past he rarely plays. I wrote on JD Spradlin's FB page and told them to listen to Steamer, Tides, Lone Palm or any other number of great songs for which he is not given enough credit. This is not Jimmy's fault. But certainly I want to take the opportunity the man has given us to hear some songs live that we may never hear again.....or ever. He's telling us to do it...... and unless he really does read BN......he won't know how the phamily feels......

Would I go if given the chance? Yep.....we would figure out the money later.....don't plan on leaving the kids much anyway......
