i wonder now if youre really admitting you met richard simmons....or you met someone worse and substituted the name of richard simmons for this person
CMT had a great profile on him a month or so back. I'm sure it will re-run, check your local listings.

According to CMT's website it will re-run Sat., Apr. 9 2:00 PM ET/PT
About the show:
With never-before-seen footage from a recent in-depth interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft, Jimmy Buffett discusses his life and career, including growing up in Mobile, Ala., the inspiration that drew him to music, his early days in Key West, Fla., personal time with wife Jane, country superstar Alan Jackson and of course, Parrotheads.
When he first set out on his musical career, Jimmy Buffett didn't make it in Nashville, so he drifted to Key West, wrote a hit called "Margaritaville" and built a legion of frozen-drink-sipping fans, affectionately called "Parrotheads." Now, more than 30 years later, in a revealing interview with Steve Kroft for Jimmy Buffett Uncut: 60 Minutes Special, Buffet tells how he was able to bring his career full circle.
On the exclusive CMT special, Buffett tells Kroft he has no plans to slow down.
"Well, I always said that I wouldn't use a teleprompter," he explains, "and if I start to sing real flat, I'll hang it up. ... I'm having fun now [and] as long as that continues ... ."
The past year has been a big one for Buffett, whose newest CD, License to Chill, debuted at the top of both the pop and country charts and was the first No. 1 record of his career. The collection, which features duets with Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, George Strait Martina McBride and others, spent 15 weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard country albums chart and has been certified platinum by the RIAA.
Additionally, Buffett's latest novel, A Salty Piece of Land, was released Nov. 30, 2004. The New York Times said it "is very possibly Buffett's best work to date." With Buffett's three previous No. 1 bestsellers, he is one of only six authors in the history of the New York Times Bestseller List to have reached No. 1 on both their fiction and non-fiction lists.

If you enjoy his music and have only listened to the usual songs, such as cheeseburger in paradise, and lets get drunk and $crew, try picking up the album "Meet Me in Margaritaville" It cam out last spring, it is a two disc set. It contains most of his best songs, and a few new ones...try out the song fruitcakes!
