Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert is airing his show “The Colbert Report” from Iraq this week. Before the trip he did not disclose where he would be going except that it would be somewhere in the Persian Gulf.

The intro for Monday’s episode had Colbert being whisked away without him knowing where he was going. He had a checklist with places written on it and one of the locations was Margaritaville. When he arrived at a hotel, he went up to the front desk and asked where the bar was and the lady said that there was no alcohol allowed there. So Stephen then crossed off Margaritaville from his list.

Former Coral Reefer Band member Roger Bartlett has a great video up on YouTube of Jimmy Buffett and the band in 1975. It’s a homemade video of the guys on the road:

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.

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

There is a decent quality video on YouTube of Jimmy debuting his new song “Summerzcool” at last Thursday’s concert in Atlanta:

The folks over at JimmyDreamz.com have posted a full-length concert on video… and it’s a good one: November 4th, 2000 in East Hampton, NY.

The benefit concert featured an incredible set list, including “Delaney Talks To Statues”, “Presents To Send You”, “Nautical Wheelers”, “Defying Gravity”, “Death Of An Unpopular Poet”, and several more rarely played songs.
