Only you could have come up with this! I love it! (smiling here) >I like Jimmy Buffet the person a lot more than I like Jimmy Buffet the >performer, but I can't for the life of me see what Joni's influence could >have been. I just forwarded yours and Walt's post to my best friend who is die-hard parrot head. She thinks Jimmy is a poet of all poets! I don't get it, but....I tried, she used to play me his stuff years ago...I found his stuff mundane, uninspiring....cliche-ridden.....tiresome....it put me to sleep. Oh well, we all can't love Joni. We used to do dueling vinyl's.. she'd play Mr..Parrot Head and I'd play Joan.....I say now listen to this....THIS IS A SONG!! Then she'd put a cut of his on to try to counter Joni. Needless to say....we ended up not converting each other. Bree... happy still that I "get" Joni. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
