A web site (http://tinyurl.com/zcupd) that tries to understand
the attraction of Buffet and his cult generously explains:
"Jimmy Buffet's music can be best described as adult nursery
rhymes celebrating drunkenness, laziness and promiscuity"

Failing to see a problem here. As I approach retirement, I'm
all for partying like it's 1959, kicking back on a sun-soaked
beach with a frozen alcoholic beverage and watching the wahi-
nes walk by and if one wanted to go for a roll in the beach
grass, I wouldn't complain. But then, I DO appreciate the won-
derful world of novelty records as well. I listen to him once
in awhile to put a smile on my face (which I sorely need after
most shifts at work lately and I doubt that he has aspired to
win a Grammy OR collect critical acclaim. He DOES collect the
$'s so he must be doing SOMETHING right.
...

His forgettable, snore inducing sllloooowww throwaway songs
shanghai your brain and force it to board the boredom boat and
float to somnambulistic oblivion. The only recourse is to run
screaming to any other brand of tequila but his, to wash away
the K-mart level musical experience.

Okay, now, CONFESS! How do you REALLY feel?

Other than that, I like him.

Oh, okay, as long as you don't COMPLETELY hate him. :wink:
