I wonder if he knows the power his music has against you?[/quote]
LOL, he's so rich that he couldn't care less what I or anybody else thinks. IU was reading about him in a Men's Health Magazine and the guys is rolling in it. More power to him but I still don't like his music. Of course there are plenty who do, enough to make him very wealthy.

he Wino And I Know
By: Jimmy Buffett
1974
The ice cream man he's a hillbilly fan
Got seventy-eights by Hank Snow
Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet
To a rhythm that only he knows
And I've seen him in so many places
I saw him the night I was born
In a Bourbon Street bar, I received my first scar
From an old man so tattered and torn
Chorus:
And the wino and I know the pain of street singin'
Like a door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin'
Strange situation, wild occupation
Livin' my life like a song
Coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde
Donuts are too hot to touch
Just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool
I eat 'til I eat way too much
'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me
Be they pastry or lobster or love
I'm just tryin' to get by bein' quiet and shy
In a world full of pushin' and shove
Chorus:
And the wino and I know the pain of back bustin'
Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin'
Strange situation, wild occupation
Livin' my life like a song
Sweet senorita won't you please come with me
Back to the island honey, back to the sea
Back to the only place that I want to be
Chorus:
And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean
Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion
Strange situation, wild occupation
Livin' my life like a song
Yes it's a strange situation, a wild occupation
Livin' my life like a song
God's Own DrunkGod's Own Drunk
"Well, like I explained to y'all before I ain't no drinkin' man.I tried it once, and it got me highly irregular and I swore I'd neverdo it again. But I promised my brother-in-law that I'd go up and watchhis still while he went into town to vote.
It was up there on the mountain where the map said it would be. Friendslet me tell you one thing though, it wadn't no ordinary still. Itstood up that mountainside like... like a huge golden opal.
God's yellar moon was a' shinin' on the cool clear evenin',God's little lanterns just a' twinklin' on and off in the heavensand, like I explained to you once before, I ain't no drinkin' man,But, temptation got the best of me, and I took a slash... (wshew!...woah...) That yellar whiskey runnin' down my throat like honeydewvine water, and I took another slash. Took another and another andanother. 'fore you knew it I'd downed one whole jug o' that sh8it and commenced to get hot flashes.
Goosepimples was runnin' up and down my body and a feelin' came over me like, somethin' I'd never experienced before, It's like,like I was in love,
("why don't we have a little love Mike [Utley]")
In love for the first time, with anything that moved...animate, in-animate it didn't matter.It's like there's a great neon sign flashin' on and off in my brain sayin, "Jimmy Buffett there' a great day a comin'..."'Cause I was drunk.
Now I wadn't, uh, knee-crawlin', slip-slidin', reggy-youngin',commode-huggin' drunk, I was God's own drunk, and a fearless man;And that's when I first saw the bear.
He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout 19 feet tallhe rambled up over the hill 'spectin' me to do one of twothings: flip or fly, I didn't do either one. It hung him up.He starts sniffin' 'round my body tryin' to smell fear,but he ain't gonna smell no fear, 'cause I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man. It hung him up.He looked me right in my eyes and my eyes was a lot redder than his was. It hung him up.
So I approached him and I said, "Mr. Bear, I love every hair onyour 27 acre body. I know you got a lotta friends over there onthe other side of the hill. There's ole' Rear Bear, Tall Bear, Freddy Bear, Kelly Jair, Relly Bear, Smelly the Bear, Smokeythe Bear, Pokey the Bear; I want you to go back over theretonight and tell 'em I'm feelin' right. You tell 'em I love eachand every one of 'em like a brother and a sister; but if theygive me any trouble tonight, I'm gonna run every Goddamned one of'em off the hill."
He took two steps backwards and didn't know what to think.Neither did I, but, being charitable and cautious, well hell, I approached him again.I said, "Mr. Bear, you know in the eyes of the Lord, we're bothbeasts when it comes right down to it. So I want you to be mybuddy, 'Buddy Bear.'" So I took ole' Buddy Bear by his island sized paw and I led him over to the still.Now he's a' sniffin' around that thing 'cause he's smellin'somethin' good.I gave him one of them jugs of honeydew vine water, he downed itupright, (looked like one of them damn bears in the circus sippin'sasparilly in the moonlight.)I gave him another and another and another'fore I knew it, he'd downed eight of 'em and commencedto do the "bear dance." Two sniffs, a snort, a fly, a turn and a grunt; and it was so simple like the jitterbug it plumb evaded me.
And we worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproarand I's awful tired, went over to the hillside, and I laid down,went to sleep, slept for four hours, and dreamt me sometremulous dreamsAnd when I woke up, Oh, there was God's yellar moon a' shinin'on the clear cool evenin'.And God's little lanterns just a' twinklin' on and off in the heavens, And my buddy the bear was a' missin'... yeah, you want to know somethin' else friends and neighbors, so was that still.

I went to Jimmy's restaurant "Margaritaville" some time back with a guy from work, and a waitress came to take our order. He ordered a sandwich, and when she asked what I wanted, I said "I'll try the Jimmy Buffet." (You know...buffet...pronounced "buf-ae") They both looked at me like "What the...?"
Come on!!!! That joke was GOLD Jerry!!!!
Come on!!!! That joke was GOLD Jerry!!!!

True on almost all levels... but when you are drinking on the beach, jimmy buffet wins hands down.
