The Wednesday edition of USA Today has an interview with Buffett: “Buffett on Buffett: ‘I Made People Smile'”. Here are a couple of the question and answers:

Q: What are you going to do when you retire? What could possibly be as much fun as performing?

A: As long as I can remember the words and not go flat, I will still sing. I look at Harry Belafonte and (Frank) Sinatra in the late ages, and there is a magic on that stage that very few people get to experience. I’m going to enjoy every day.

Q: What is it like having teenagers at 61?

A: I don’t feel like I’m 61, the way I perceived 61 when my parents were 61. I think I’m in better shape and I’m not as grown up as they were, so that helps. The kids are like people now. They’re pretty much well on their way. You have to let them be who they are going to be. You can encourage them and be there for advice and things of that nature, but when you get into adolescence, they make their own decisions.

“Hello Again Philly!” finally welcomed the crowd to the next stop of the Year Of Still Here Tour in Philadelphia after a brief rain delay pushed things back a little.

Returning to Citizens Bank Park for the first time since 2005, the first set featured a new opener, a quick version of “Why Don’t We Get Drunk,” performed Solo by Jimmy. This was the first known time that Jimmy has opened with “Get Drunk.” Past that, the set returned to regular tour form with “Fruitcakes” and “Miss You So Badly” returning to their spots in the set list after being skipped in New York.

The second set saw a few changes as well as “Tryin’ to Reason With Hurricane Season” was back in the set after being absent from the New York show. Nothing else was new to the set, but the order was slightly shuffled.

The First Encore was the same as New York, as “Glory Days” stayed in the set but was not an audible this time. The second encore was again different, this time with a solo acoustic performance of “Defying Gravity,” dedicated to Tim Russert and Family.
