Jimmmy Buffet, a man that made $500 Million, from a God awful song, sounding like it was written to promote a Bar & Grill.

Jimmy is a carpetbagger - he is NOT from Florida, but pretends he is. DAC said it best.

At the end of some of his concerts he tells his fans that he continues to spend there money foolishly.
And he continues to do so.
He will be 72 next month and has half a billion dollars in FU money. He’s a extraordinary successful capitalist. A strong supporter of our military.
I just simply don’t get it...
It’s just so disappointing.

His LIB tendencies likely come from guilt for being somewhat talent - free yet people give him a lot of money. Some almost worship him...cult-like. He is confused.

Wait a minute....he had a whole string of blockbuster hits, right?

Wasting Away In Margaritaville
Looking For My Lost Shaker Of Salt
Some People Claim That There's A women To Blame
But I Know It's My Own Damn Fault

I think all went to number 1! What an amazing artist! And so versatile! I heard he can sing about both Jamaica and the Bahamas!

*** “Wasting Away In Margaritaville

But I Know It’s My Own Damn Fault” ***

That is what My Fishing Buddy, the Porpoises and I call Fishing music ...

Come to think of it that disc was just about worn out...

I still have a couple of Chris Ladoux CD’s that play well, going to have to re-train the Porpoises though.

Buffett has always been “beach bubblegum” music, and marketing of parrots, flowered silk shirts and beach blanket bingo. And... dope. Have on excellent, top level (DEA) authority- that Buffett’s planes were never his. IOW on top of being banal, he was (and no longer possibly could still be)... a narc. In that sense, because it serves his business plan— he loves big government, and loved the dope runners even more for the cash flow and stupidity they lent to his musical listener base.

On a positive note— since his own songwriting disappeared long ago (Pirate Looks At Forty, Death of the Unpopular Poet, He Went to Paris...) he has helped true songwriters along the way. Case in point- his promotion of Steve Goodman’s excellent songs, and aiding (still plays in his band) the brilliant Mac MacAnally. So give him credit for that.

On the Leftie front, and proof of a “poseur” of “talent”- NYT’s documented his attendance at a Hampton’s fundraiser for hitlery (in keeping with his affiliation with fellow powder monkey billy “hoover nose” clinton, and dyke-o hitlery who liked the powder as well). At this fundraiser— he changed his “color coordinated” prescription glasses 3 separate times during the party— IOW had a changing room facility— show biz-like. Architecture has facades— good time poseurs have... facades as well. Ageing sailboat coke runners who get into real estate to launder money— nothing particularly talented about that. But for him— it sure beat working for a living.

Politicized musician ... no longer can enjoy some of his songs because it now reminds me of his politics.

We’ve moved a long way from Charlie Daniels’ song “In America” ... “Cause we’ll all stick together and you can take that to the bank, That’s the cowboys and the hippies and the rebels and the yanks.”

There are plenty of Parrotheads in FL. That said, I don’t see his army as much of a threat: they’ll all be too stoned or drunk to vote.

Such a shame, another one of my favorites must be tossed into the Dixie Chicks digital waste dump. Why can’t these people just shut up and sing?

(The list of people exposed and outed by Trump is truly amazing...there were a lot of people in that closet, people I actually respected and will miss).

“I liked looking at Alyssa Milano’s boobies which she used to show quite frequently.
What did they do: die or fly away ...?”

I suspect they flew away, they were aftermarket bolt-on. I’m not sure if she still has them since she hit 40 and I lost all interest in looking at them so I haven’t noticed if they’re there or not.
