Reckless Philosophers: Wasting Away Again in Margaritaville
I'm sure there is some inside joke there because I didn't think you were a parrot head.

No inside joke, except in my own head. I just happened to be drinking a margarita and felt the need to share and be silly. I used to be a big Jimmy Buffett fan until I lived in Tennessee some years back. When I first moved there I did "yard" work for my step dad until I could find a job. His yard was some 10 acres and the work usually involved digging and planting. Unfortunately for me, the soil in that part of Tennessee is all rocks, so I had to shatter the rocks with a heavy, steel breaker bar for several minutes before I could get enough "dirt" to shovel. Step dad was a parrot head and played THE SAME Buffett tape over and over as I worked. So now I associate his music with forced labor instead of say, relaxing on an island with a drink in my hand.

That's a shame, B. I associate Jimmy with summer, drinks, shows, etc. A great show to see. We cleaned and painted our deck in Brick with margaritas while listening to Buffet.
My friend introduced me to his music years ago...I knew the name but didn't know the music. He said, "You'll love it. Who couldn't love a guy who sings "Why don't we get drunk and screw?"
Now I'm craving a margarita...

I'm partial to the song title "The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful". My favourite song of his is probably "Come Monday".

Funny you should mention that...remember Dissident's & my mutual friend? I sent her a postcard from North Carolina with that line: "Weather is here..." She didn't find it nearly as funny as I did! Too many favs from him, but I would have to say "Barefoot Children in the Rain".
