According to Sirius: Escape to Jimmy Buffett's Radio MargaritavilleMy Experience: I have to admit it...I let out a small, audible groan as I changed the channel to this one. JB has never been my favorite musician, and I wasn't looking forward to an entire day of his music. As I sat through my third Buffett song, I wondered how they could have a station devoted entirely to his music...but then they started to play some other artists. I was gonna say...it's not like this guy is as prolific as Elvis. My drive home, though, showed me how they fill a lot of time on this station: replays of entire concerts. Wonderful. Also, I wasn't sure how I'd characterize the artists/music that played here...American Tropic, perhaps?
A Time and a Place for Everything: Well, wouldn't normally tune into this on the way to work, but I could see it maybe playing in the background while lounging on the beach, or even maybe on a drive to the beach. But backgrond music.
Sample Playlist:
- Jimmy Buffett, Delaney Talks to Statues
- Jimmy Buffett, He Went to Paris (New Version)
- Jimmy Buffett, Tequila
- Paul Simon, Ace in the Hole
- Santana, Mother's Daughter
- Bob Marley and the Wailers, Put it On
- Jimmy Buffett, Live from Alpine Valley, WI (7/10/99)
Verdict: Afraid I'm not going to bookmark this one. While there are a lot of Parrotheads out there, his music just starts blending together in my mind after a bit, and is a bit to corny for my tastes. I have to be careful here, as a good friend LOVES Jimmy, but I think she'll forgive me.

this is why i question your methodology. you're judging jimmy buffet without a steady flow of tequila going through your veins. if you were being unbiased, you'd have gotten sloshed proper and then gave it a chance.
you thoughtless prick.
Now here I can see me downing some Jack Daniels and punching Jimmy...
