RIP Jimmy Buffet

[thrill]

My parents listened to his greatest hits album many times on many road trips when I was in high school and college. Not bad songs at all, but unlike a lot of stuff my parents overplayed,it never felt like there was anything there worth going back to.

My parents were Jimmy Buffett (dad), The Eagles (both), and Fleetwood Mac (mom).

I love Fleetwood Mac. I hate The Eagles. I tolerate Buffett.

Fleetwood Mac is truly unique and excellent.
Buffett is John Prine for people who don't like thinking about sad things.
The Eagles are 70's Coldplay. Highly skilled, well produced, and completely boring (except Joe Walsh, who is good).

I always thought there must be some winking involved with Jimmy Buffet and his whole thing. It never made sense to me that he could lead such a successful cult.

But then I consider Florida Georgia Line. I guess if Jimmy Buffet is John Prine for the simple, than modern country is Jimmy Buffet for the unconscious.

So you’re saying I made the right decision not to check out FGL?

Next time you realize you’ve accidentally ingested poison turn on their song ‘Swerve.’ If it’s a lot of poison, make sure you turn on the video.

Unpopular opinion. FGL's "Cruise" will be considered a country classic someday.

With that said, they are pretty terrible.
