Jimmy Buffet

Jimmy Buffet is clearly a marketing genius since he has built an entire successful industry preying on middle aged WASPS desire to be cool and by cool I mean some warped interpretation of the word that somehow translates to men in coconut bras and grass skirts.  Bold.  Very bold.

After attending my first Jimmy Buffet concert I can honestly say I hate his music.  I mean really - 2 hours of the same song with different words.  It was painful.  I even had to participate in the Fins song.  To his credit I did have a fabulous booze fuel blast before the concert and even after the concert when some DJ set up in the parking lot.  Basically, I had a fabulous time at the concert until he started playing. 

I guess the next time I got to Cheeseburger in Paradise I will hold my margarita high to Jimmy B. the marketing genius.
