Jimmy Buffett was recently on the Bob Edwards Show, where he gave a lengthy interview:

Jimmy Buffett is like a pied piper, but with a guitar, leading his Coral Reefer Band and his legion of fans known as Parrot Heads. Bob visits with Buffett in the state of mind called Margaritaville to talk about the song, his many commercial enterprises, the satellite radio channel and about Buffett’s connection to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

Only Jason Aldean, Chris Young, and Blake Shelton separate Buffett and Brown from the top.
