Jimmy Buffett is somewhat of an enigma. He's one of the richer musicians on the planet. He sells out every concert. He's a heck of an entertainer, but unless you live in Florida, you might not have heard of him.
Until you say "Margaritaville" that is.
My friends and I have been enjoying him since '73 when he came out with his first non-country album called "A white sport coat and a pink crustacean"
I was hooked and have been since. Anyone else?

Don't tell anyone, but I'm one of the fruitcakes in a hawaian shirt and grass skirt at the Houston(Woodlands Pavilion) shows.
I always liked his music, but only really got hooked in college in the early 90's I've seen every show here since. I even drove 150 miles one year to see him in Austin one year when he didn't make it to Houston.
I always drink about 10 beers too many.

I actualy do like his music. Mostly because my dad is a Parrot Head. I grew up listening to it. Ive been to 2 concerts (my first when i was 6) and have meet Mr. Buffett. Ive eaten a cheese burger on the island in the bahama's he wrote "Cheese Burger In Paradise" on/about. This is because My dad owned a 27 Megragor and we would sail to the bahamas quite often. Well untill he was transfered by the military to Kings Bay.
I Just went on a cruise to San Juan, St. Thomas, and St. Maarteen and of corse they where playing jimi buffett all the time and i knew the words better than the drunk old men on the ship, lol. Margaritaville was the favorite play of course. I love that song and anyone who doesnt deserves to burn in....

Saw JB about three months ago at a local outdoor venue, which suprisingly had ****-poor acustics. He played alot more of the old stuff than he did the last time I saw him which is good. Its interesting all the different stories of where people think JB's cheeseburger in paradise is geographicaly, I was under the impression that it definatively was a small island called Cabbage Key just south of Boca Grande. I did have the cheeseburger while I was there...and it was paradise!
His sister, Lucy, has a restaurant in my town. They DO serve a cheeseburger in paradise at Lulu's Homeport .
What's everybody's favorite Buffet song ?

I'm not sure of the name of my favorite Buffet song; maybe you can help me ?
I think it was written by Mac MacAnaley (sp?) and has a line that goes
"...it's my job to be cleaning up this mess and thats enough reason for me to be, It's my job...and with out it I'd be less than what I expect of me"
