“We are the people
They couldn’t figure out
We are the people
Our parents warned us about”
I once flew from Chicago to Hartford seated next to someone who services Hammond organs and did so for some big name bands. He mentioned one which happened to be a long time favorite and told me that they occasionally came by the shop in a city outside of Hartford. “Man, I’d love to be there one time and meet them” I said to my neighbor. He just shook his head. I looked at him quizzically for a moment and then I thought I caught on. “Are you saying that it’s better I don’t meet them and maintain the image I hold rather than learn the truth?” He nodded. The former lead guitar player has twice been arrested for beating his wife since then. I’ve flown on a fairly regular basis for more than 25 years and that’s the way it is with celebrities. Some are really nice and some are awful. A lot of them are really ignorant about current affairs.
Jimmy Buffet, a native of Mississippi, is planning a benefit concert in Gulf Shores, Alabama on Sunday. Sounds great. I’ve loved his music as long as I can remember- back to the early 70’s. On my wall hangs a sign that reads “It’s five o’clock somewhere.” I’ve tailgated and consumed Concoction machine-produced Margarita’s all afternoon prior to concerts. I loved it. Right up to when I read Buffet’s book “A pirate looks at fifty.” Buffet lives his own life. Married more than once, Buffet seemed painfully self-centered. Flying his private jet often for frivolous endeavors, Buffet would make certain his wife and kids were occupied with some distraction so he could ditch them and go Bonefishing with a pal.
Buffet makes the argument that people get angry when they see oil creeping onto the beach and that’s fair. But then he violates the Ingraham rule (“Shut up and sing”) and goes political on us.

not many individuals with those....
he used to have a Lockheed Jetstar back in the old days
he must like tri engines
correction...Falcon 50...not Falcon 900 as link stated
looked up tail numbers...after noticing too few windows for a 900C or EX
still 15-20 million dollar bird

Anything less than a G4 is roughing it.
