The Best Jimmy Buffett Songs: Lyrics and Analysis by Elizabeth Creger Pdf

ABOUT THE BOOK Christmas Day, 1946 brought more than the usual celebrations to one household in Pascagoula, Mississippi: little James William Buffett was born. Some thirty years later, J. D. and Mary Loraine's bouncing baby boy would introduce the music-buying public to an entirely new state of mind. Jimmy's unique, lyrical combination of Caribbean rhythms and off-beat American aspirations would capture imaginations all over the world. Following a brief school-days' flirtation with the trombone, Buffett first picked up a guitar in 1966 while attending Pearl River Community College in Poplarville, MS. Following graduation he moved to Nashville, Tennessee in the hope of becoming a Country Music artist. Although he recorded one album, Down to Earth, in 1970, it was an unplanned journey the following year that was to shape his career. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK This track bemoans the long, cold winters of America's north, and once again encourages the idea that simply hopping on a plane to more southerly climes can answer any question, and resolve any problem. Boat drinks. Boys in the band ordered boat drinks.Visitors just scored on the home rink.Everything seems to be wrong.Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap airfare.I've got to fly to Saint Somewhere.I'm close to bodily harm.[Chorus:]Twenty degrees and the hockey games on.Nobody cares; they are way too far gone,Screamin' "Boat drinks," somethin'To keep them all warm.This morning I shot six holes in my freezer.I think I got cabin fever.Somebody sound the alarm.I'd like to go where the pace or life's slow.Could you beam me somewhere, Mister Scott?Any old place here on Earth or in space.You pick the century and I'll pick the spot.I know I should be leaving this climate.I got a verse but can't rhyme it.I gotta go where it's warm.Boat drinks.Waitress, I need two more boat drinks.Then I'm headin south 'fore my dream shrinks.I gotta where it's warm.I gotta go where it's warm.I gotta go where it's warm.I gotta go where there ain't any snow,Where there ain't any blow,'Cause my fin sinks so low.I gotta go where it's warm.

A Pirate Looks at Fifty by Jimmy Buffett Pdf

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This is the ultimate Jimmy Buffett philosophy on life and how to live it, “like sitting with Buffett at a beachside bar, listening to him spin tales” (Time). “Buffett took his family on a three-week trek around the Caribbean. . . . His colorful travelogue is interspersed with memoirs of his youth and music career—both of which revolve around his continuing search for the perfect fishing spot.”—USA Today For Parrotheads, armchair adventurers, and anyone who appreciates a good yarn and a hearty laugh, here is the ultimate backstage pass. You’ll read the kind of stories Jimmy usually reserves for his closest friends and you'll see a wonderful, wacky life through the eyes of the man who's lived it. Jimmy takes us from the legendary pirate coves of the Florida Keys to the ruins of ancient Cartegena. Along the way, we hear a tale or two of how he got his start in New Orleans, how he discovered his passion for flying planes, and how he almost died in a watery crash in Nantucket harbor. We follow Jimmy to jungle outposts in Costa Rica and on a meandering trip down the Amazon, through hair-raising negotiations with gun-toting customs officials and a three-year-old aspiring co-pilot. And he is the inimitable Jimmy Buffett through it all.

A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett Pdf

Wander to "where the song of the ocean / Meets the salty piece of land" with Tully Mars, washed up from Margaritaville and in the mood for monkeyshines, in a shimmering Caribbean epic by the late king of tropical rock, Jimmy Buffett. It's not on any chart, but the tropical island of Cayo Loco is the perfect place to run away from all your problems. Waking from a ganja buzz on the beach in Tulum, Tully can't believe his eyes when a 142-foot schooner emerges out of the ocean mist. At its helm is Cleopatra Highbourne, the eccentric 101-year-old sea captain who will take him to a lighthouse on a salty piece of land that will change his life forever. From a lovely sunset sail in Punta Margarita to a wild spring-break foam party in San Pedro, Tully encounters an assortment of treasure hunters, rock stars, sailors, seaplane pilots, pirates, and even a ghost or two.

Jimmy Buffett by Ryan White Pdf

A candid, compelling, and rollicking portrait of the pirate captain of Margaritaville—Jimmy Buffett. In Jimmy Buffett: A Good Life All the Way, acclaimed music critic Ryan White has crafted the first definitive account of Buffett’s rise from singing songs for beer to his emergence as a tropical icon and CEO behind the Margaritaville industrial complex, a vast network of merchandise, chain restaurants, resorts, and lifestyle products all inspired by his sunny but disillusioned hit “Margaritaville.” Filled with interviews from friends, musicians, Coral Reefer Band members past and present, and business partners who were there, this book is a top-down joyride with plenty of side trips and meanderings from Mobile and Pascagoula to New Orleans, Key West, down into the islands aboard the Euphoria and the Euphoria II, and into the studios and onto the stages where the foundation of Buffett’s reputation was laid. Buffett wasn’t always the pied piper of beaches, bars, and laid-back living. Born on the Gulf Coast, the son of a son of a sailing ship captain, Buffett scuffed around New Orleans in the late sixties, flunked out of Nashville (and a marriage) in 1971, and found refuge among the artists, dopers, shrimpers, and genuine characters who’d collected at the end of the road in Key West. And it was there, in those waning outlaw days at the last American exit, where Buffett, like Hemingway before him, found his voice and eventually brought to life the song that would launch Parrot Head nation. And just where is Margaritaville? It’s wherever it’s five o’clock; it’s wherever there’s a breeze and salt in the air; and it’s wherever Buffett sets his bare feet, smiles, and sings his songs.

I Never Met a Story I Didn't Like by Todd Snider Pdf

For years, Todd Snider has been one of the most beloved country-folk singers in the United States. He had a Top 40 hit with “Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues,” which gave national audiences the first taste of his insightful songwriting, at once satirical and sincere. Hailed by critics as one of the top albums of 2004, East Nashville Skyline was followed by The Devil You Know and The Excitement Plan. Snider's songs took on George W. Bush and America's recent involvement in foreign war, along with a host of more intimate topics. As good as Snider's albums have been, his in-concert monologues are even better. His shows are a loose-limbed, informal experience: it's often just him and a guitar. He introduces songs with stories that can run as long as twenty minutes, always displaying his charm and wit. As he's allowed his storytelling to evolve along with his music, Snider has become not only a modern day Bob Dylan but a modern day Will Rogers as well—an everyman whose intelligence, self deprecation, experience, and, above all, humor make him a uniquely American character.
