Thursday morning on CNBC, former US congressman Dick Armey mentioned Jimmy Buffett. A BuffettWorld visitor details what was said:

Did you see Dick Armey on CNBC this am? He noted that we are listening to the
wrong Buffett and we should be listening to Jimmy Buffett, not Warren Buffett.
Then he went on to explain why based on a couple lines from Jimmy’s songs. The
CNBC gang asked who gave him the line and verbally assumed he was not a
Parrothead, to which he enthusiastically replied that he was and he knew every
single song line.
