October 6th, 2006The New York Post reports that Buffett was caught in France with more than 100 tablets of ecstasy.
French authorities reportedly seized more than 100 tabs of club drug “ecstasy” from Jimmy Buffett’s luggage this week.
The Grammy-winning singer got into trouble when he flew into Toulon-Hyères International Airport in the South of France on a rented private jet and customs officials started poking around in his suitcases. Buffett, who was on his way to chill out in the ritzy resort town of St. Tropez, was detained, but not arrested, and allowed to go free after paying a fine of 300 euros – about $380.
A spokeswoman for Buffett denied he’d had any ecstasy in the luggage. The rep insisted, “It was medicine prescribed by his doctor.” But she wouldn’t name the medicine or what ailment Buffett was using it for. She also refused to comment on why, if the substance was legally prescribed, Buffett agreed to pay the fine.

October 4th, 2006The Tampa Tribune has an article on the Ultimate Parrothead Contest winner Megan Mohr: “Change In Latitude Changes Attitude”
Megan Mohr and Les Criscillo didn’t just see musician Jimmy Buffett in concert in Boston this summer.
The couple, who met three years ago at a Buffett concert in Tampa, got to go backstage and meet their idol. It was a dream come true for Mohr and Criscillo, who like many Buffett fans call themselves Parrot Heads.
Mohr doesn’t usually have the connections to get a backstage pass, but with the help of her vocal cords won a contest on Sirius satellite radio’s Jimmy Buffett’s Radio Margaritaville.
“I was giddy! I’ve been such a Parrot Head as long as I can remember,” Mohr said.
The contest required contestants to call in and sing 20 seconds of a Buffett song. She sang the woman’s part in a “Son of a Son of a Sailor.” One thousand people entered, and she was one of five finalists.
Here is an image from Megan’s hometown paper in Plant City.
