PennLive has an article on Buffett’s Margaritaville Shrimp:

Contrary to the Jimmy Buffett song that inspired the Margaritaville line of seafood products, you won’t be “wastin’ away … in Margaritaville” because the coconut shrimp packs plenty of sun-drenched island flavor, along with a volcanic eruption of calories and fat grams.

Here’s the blueprint: 24-30 extra-large shrimp, butterflied and dredged in coconut breading, then deep-fried and flash-frozen. The box contains two pouches of sweet-and-spicy dipping sauce.

An article on Gainesville.com gives some more insight into Buffett’s visit to Harvard:

Before the study group, Graham invites a few undergraduates to have lunch with Buffett in a conference room. The singer arrives in a long-sleeved polo shirt, corduroy pants and loafers. Graham wears a coat and tie. Buffett tells the students that he admires Graham’s commitment to the environment and his nonstop curiosity.

About 50 students arrive for the study group, some clutching CDs and even a guitar for Buffett to autograph. Buffett gives a brief speech about how governments are similar to rock bands. He answers questions about his politics and music (No, he doesn’t mind playing Margaritaville for the zillionth time, because it pays the rent.)

Jimmy is mentioned in the “Changes” section of the latest issue of Rolling Stone (Issue 988, Dec.1 – Madonna cover).

BUFFETT HITS BIG SCREEN

Jimmy Buffett is co-producing and appearing in a film adaptation of the Carl Hiassen children’s book Hoot, about a family that tries to save a community of owls threatened by urban development. Buffett will compose new songs for the movie, which stars Luke Wilson and opens next spring.

There is a small photo of Buffett with the article on page 17. The caption reads “Buffett: Kids-movie star.”
