Well?

I'm playin' "you had to be there"

and I"ve been drinkin'

it's great :D:thmbsp::smoke:

Don't care for Mr. Buffet's music.
But I like his beer, Land Shark:beer:

I Love his music, and his attitude. I don't wear a parrot hat though.

I think he is one of the best poets of my generation. I like his music and his beer. His concerts used to be great fun. Now it seems too many people trying too hard.

Used to be (kinda-sorta) and still listen to his stuff on occasion. Went to see him at Mud Island in Memphis back in the 80's and he put on a killer show.

I love the old stuff. I have a problem with too many greatest hits collections.
I just can't get in to any of his new stuff. I 've seen Jimmy in concert a couple of times, and it was a lot of fun. I refuse to pay $250 for a decent ticket,
so I don't even try to get seats anymore.

I like alot of his older stuff. One newer tune, a duet with Martina McBride "Trip Around the Sun" is one of my new favorite songs. Hard to get enough of it!

I've always enjoyed his music, and his approach to life. I've seen him in concert a few times, and he never disappoints. More recently, I've gotten int J.B. as an author, and have read all his books.

I liked him better back in the days of "Changes in Attitudes", "Living & Dying in 3/4 Time", etc, before he became a mogul & had more money than his cuzin Warren...(grin)

The natives are gettin' restless tonight...

My brother gave me the two-disc set Live in Hawaii last Xmas and I love it - just a fine album.

Don't consider myself a parrot head but I do like Jimmy, very much.

Read A Pirate Looks at Fifty couple years ago, good read.

Definitely feel a kindred spirit with him, having sailed the seven seas for 20 years myself.

My favorite early album of his is A1A, nary a bad song in the entire record...

Saw him at least a dozen times in the late seventies through the early 90's Still have most of his early records and cds and still play them. The one you are listening to is probably the best one overall as it captures what his live shows were really like back then. The last time I saw him in the early 90's it was just not the same at all. His shows were never the same after he was legally barred from playing "God's Own Drunk" anymore.

Before he made it big, he'd come down to Pensacola Beach (my home town), set up his guitar at the boardwalk in front of the Casino and play for tips.

Saw him later in concert at the University of Florida circa 1975.

Casino was blown away in a hurricane and I moved to California after college, his songs in my head as I drove out Route 66.

After "Son of a Sailor" he seemed to lose his Muse, at least for me although there were some fine songs afterwards. Mostly he seemed to be selling a lifestyle few of us could live or endorse just so his fans could live vicariously.

Too many of my childhood friends and family are stuck in Margharitaville, living on the beach, smoking dope and drinking too much, wasting their lives away. My all-time favorite was "Pirate Looks at 40."

Gotta love "Why Don't We Get Drunk...."
