There are a lot of very good Jimmy Buffett songs, much, much better IMHO than the four or five radio-friendly frathouse ones that the average parrothead is stuck on. Blue Heaven Rendevous and Bob Robert's Society Band come immediately to mind.
I don't mind Jimmy at all, in fact I like him. It's the beachball-tossing Cult of Margaritaville in strange, enormous headgear who I can't take. (Yes, I know, not all parrotheads are like that but the loud obnoxious ones drown out the others.)
Unfortunately anything he likes they are going to investigate, misunderstand, and potentially foul. There are just enough similarities to spell disaster.
They remind me of the Cult of Emeril. I mean, how worked up does one really need to get about pork fat?
I'd take the dimly-lit, rum-soaked serenity of a Hala Kahiki type Tiki bar over sun, sand and tequila any day.
