My mom is in her 50's and her husband is in his 60's and they dig the Buffet. Neither of them are looking at a bullet.

I've been to several concerts, the most recent one was the best. The party in the parking lot is fantastic, the people are all having a great time!!!

It's a little escape from reality, and a huge party with lots of folks drinking and enjoying life.

If you don't like his music so what? Some say it's not fantastic, but I really love going to the concerts and having a great time!

THANK YOU JIMMY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I hate people who try to be music snobs. If you like it, fine, if you don't, fine.

Except for "Barney." That crap is the flesh-eating bacteria of music.

Happy Birthday Jimmy. I own your greatest hits CD and saw you in concert once in 1986.

They're not people, James Ingram. They're Jimmy Buffett fans.

fark that asshole.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back and stab that mothergrabber in the throat before he inflicted his "music" on anyone...

I hope it's his last one.

The haters in here make me sad and angry. I am a self-confessed music snob, and I love Jimmy Buffett. There, I said it. He has a completely unique musical niche that can be imitated but never duplicated. I have no idea what the hate is based on. His tours make an absolute mint and he has never kowtowed to Nashville. He's the real deal.

Happy Birthday, Jimmy.

Happy Bday Buffett.

Ahh, the self-important smug is quite strong in this thread.

Mr. Buffett is fine by me.

I get a kick out of how in any thread about Jimmy Buffet, Family Guy, Bono, hybrid cars, etc, so many people smugly quote South Park, a show known for pointing out how smug other people can be.

That aside, I'm pretty ambivalent towards Buffet. I don't like his stuff, nor do I hate it, but he's overplayed in certain situations and I can understand why others might hate him.

/likes older South Park, FWIW

Which is just as ironic as fans of Monty Python religiously quoting lines from their shows.

\Happy Birthday Jimmy, keep on giving people a reason to drink
\\and happy birthday, Aunt Carol... may you rest in peace....

Happy Birthday Jimmy!

I know a very hot cuban girl who's dad plays in a Buffet Cover Band. Almost had a free cruise one year until she saw Posiden. Can't get her ass on a boat now to save her life. (heh Cuban won't get on a boat, I just found the humor in that)

I would have gladly hauled equipment for a free cruise damnit!

meh, his music's not all that bad, it's just... the parrotheads. They're kind of scary. They have the same cult vibe that weight watchers groups do. Am I the only one who notices this?

 
Southern Atheist 2008-12-25 09:48:27 PM  
Went to Margaritaville once at Universal Orlando, they were playing a song that said "they don't play grunge and they don't play it loud." I decided I didn't care for this Buffett character after that.

But I hear he mentions the Florabama in one song and I know he was friends with Hunter Thomspon, both of those are pretty cool in my book.

Wanna bet the same people who hate Jimmy Buffett also hate Nickelback?

 
BlackSunshine 2008-12-26 02:10:28 PM  
Jimmy Buffet's niche is pretty much based on some much needed escapism for the over-worked American middle class office dweller. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

/Not to mention the fact that his concerts are pretty much the biggest parties you'll ever see.

 
gambit60 2008-12-26 03:34:53 PM  
I think all of the haters in this thread needs to move to the Keys for a couple of years, relax, drink a couple of rumrunners, have a beer at Captain Tony's and enjoy Jimmy's music where it all originated.

/Keys resident for 11 years
