I get annoyed with a lot of the parrotheads that don't get it and make a point of avoiding many of them. The music is about escapism, not about getting drunk and puking in the shrubbery. I don't go to the Mai Kai to get plowed, and I don't go to a Buffett concert to get so tanked I don't remember the show. FWIW, his new album sucks. Make that with a capital Sucks. It's horrible, pandering pap. There are, maybe, two songs that are tolerable, and that's stretching it. Give me A1A, White Sportcoat, Coconut Telegraph and any of the other early stuff, when Jimmy wasn't making music for money instead of making music for himself. [ Edited by: phinz 2010-07-02 14:12 ]
