Sweet Sally Taylor also joined Jimmy and the band for “Brown Eyed Girl.” Jake Shimabukuro added his Ukulele sounds to select songs all night as well.

Boston Globe Interviews Buffett

June 25th, 2009


Jimmy Buffett is performing in Boston today and Saturday and the Boston Globe caught up to him recently for a short interview:

Q. You haven’t been afraid to let loose lately about the state of the country. What’s up with that?

A. There’s a lot of stupidity going around on all sides. The country bought it all, and I thought people needed to be reminded about how stupid they were. And it’s an ongoing saga. I can certainly put more verses in “A Lot to Drink About’’ as we go along. For instance, I noticed that the schools are closing in Los Angeles, but the Lakers were just given a parade. There’s no end to the crazy things going on.

Q. Did you get swept up in the Madoff scandal yourself?

A. No, it all smelled like a rat in the beginning. I guess I’ve worked with so many crooked promoters that I can smell ’em. Money made on moving money around never interested me.

Q. How has the recession affected your tour? Is this the year the bubble bursts and some people will not come to see you?

A. No, we’re doing great. Thank God there are people out there who like what we’re doing. They haven’t put us on a list of things they’re not going to do because of the economy. This is their vacation and they’re not going to give it up. They may not go to Florida or buy a new car, but they won’t miss our show. I wanted to find out right away, so we went on sale early with a Detroit show – they’ve been as hard hit as anywhere – and it sold out in 20 minutes. I’m very grateful.

The Boston Herald also has an article out today comparing Jimmy Buffett and Warren Buffett: “Mango and cash: Jimmy Buffett and Warren Buffett live in two different worlds … or do they?”

Review of Concord Show

May 20th, 2009


The San Jose Mercury News has a review of last night’s Jimmy Buffett show in Concord, California: “Review: Jimmy Buffett in Concord”

Jimmy Buffett sees the big picture. He doesn’t let the little things – details that might drive other artists nuts – get in the way of entertaining an audience.

“There’s a string out of tune on this guitar,” the 62-year-old singer-songwriter said during his concert Tuesday at the Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord. “But it doesn’t matter because we are going to play `Margaritaville.’”

He was right: It really didn’t matter. His loyal fans, affectionately dubbed “Parrotheads,” were going to sing along happily to this song whether the instruments were in tune or not. That may say a little something about the level of intoxication of the crowd, which kept the beer and margarita vendors hopping most of the night, but it really speaks to Buffett’s amazing degree of self-awareness.

Buffett Performs at Dolphins Press Conference

May 8th, 2009


This morning the Miami Dolphins made it official with a press conference and performance by Jimmy Buffett that culminated with the unveiling of the new logo for Landshark Stadium.

Buffett performed Margaritaville, Volcano, and then a special Dolphins version of Fins. Tickets to the event were given to local parrothead clubs and select Dolphins fans.

You can watch the entire event at MiamiDolphins.com

Update – Here are the lyrics to “Fins For The Fish”, a modified version of “Fins” that Jimmy sang at the press conference on Friday:

We drive down on Interstate 95
And up on U.S. 1
It’s game day in Miami town
Where the Dolphins are Number 1 (numero uno)
We play down by the ocean
In the warm South Florida sun
The tailgate’s down so gather round
For some pre-game LandShark fun.

Chorus
Can’t you feel us circlin’ Dolphfans
Can’t you feel us schoolin’ around?
We got fins to the left, fins to the right,
We’re at the only game in town
Oh Oh Oh Oh
We got fins to the left, fins to the right,
It’s the only game in town

From Lauderdale and Boca
Palm Beaches and the Florida Keys
It’s a game day mass migration
High fives fill the breeze
Kick off time’s approaching
We gotta shut off our cell phones
And get our arms up in the air
We are entering the “FinZone”

Chorus
Can’t you feel us circlin’ Dolphfans
Can’t you feel us swimmin’ around?
We got fins to the left, fins to the right,
We’re at the only game in town
Oh Oh Oh Oh
We got fins to the left, fins to the right,
It’s the only game in town
