So, I'm on the compewter and the sox game is in the background. They make mention of some Jimmy Buffet Concert at Fenway. It just happened or is happening, something, I dunno.
Anyhoo, I decide to google "Jimmy Buffet Sucks". 14,400 results in 0.68 seconds. Shocker there.
I click on the first one and find this:

Jimmy Buffet is coming to Boston this weekend. I hate Jimmy Buffet and I’m not just talking about his crappy music. I really hate him like some people hate Hitler and Stalin. I think it’s bad for Boston to have this loser and his pathetic fans stumbling around the Fenway this weekend. If you like Jimmy Buffet I hate you to. Buffet fans are just about the lowest form of human vermin known to man right down there with football fans and child molesters. Are you Born To Be Mild?



In the summer of 1984 I was invited to attend a Jimmy Buffet concert by some chick I hardly knew. It was free and I had nothing better to do so I said yes. I knew nothing about his music or his cult following. It was without a doubt the worst musical experience of my life with an outdoor James Taylor concert coming in a close second. The music was bland, lacked innovation and was completely devoid of any sort of musicianship. Jimmy Buffet and his Coral Reef band’s music can be best described as adult nursery rhymes celebrating drunkenness, laziness and promiscuity. The music is not really rock or reggae or blues or country. It sounds a little bit like all of the genres without ever really committing to any of them. Jimmy plays it safe. It can aptly be categorized as yuppie muzak. The ubiquitous xylophone and maracas create a nauseating faux island music experience. Don’t get me wrong. I ‘m not anti-kitsch. Barry Manilow is fine because Barry and his fans know his music is cornball. They embrace it for what it is. Buffet and his pecker head fans really think this is great music and that Buffet and Buffet fans are cool. This clown and his band are nothing more than a wedding/bar band that got lucky and found a nitch of idiots with more money that taste. The fans often refer to themselves as Parrot Heads. The Parrot Heads (BKA Pecker Heads) adorn themselves in silly straw hats, Hawaiian shirts, tight Kaki shorts, sandals and those sun glasses with the strings attached. Some go so far as to wear those beverage hats that hold beer cans so they can drink beer through a tube. Pretty crazy! It’s all pretty pathetic. There’s good news and bad news. Jimmy Buffet and his fans are getting old. Very few if any young people are embracing the whole “margaritaville” experience. They think Buffet sucks and this is all good. The bad news is that these aging fans are clinging even more desperately to the whole Parrot head ethos. They have Parrot Head clubs and their whole lives seem to revolve around the next Buffet show. Back in 84 the crowd was relatively young and the whole “party” experience at the Buffet show was contrived and constrained. It’s even worse now. The straw hats, Hawaiian shirts, sandals and plastic cups of margaritas are formulaic and reek of phoniness. Nothing is more pathetic than watching some 50 year old, fat white guy dancing around trying to prove he is “hip”, “with it” and can still “party all night long”. One can only hope that all the overeating and heavy alcohol consumption will take it’s toll and put these losers out of commission sending Jimmy Buffet and his band to the trash heap of pop music.

cool.

[basom]

he did two shows at fenway. the second concert at feway, ever, and its god damn buffet. the boss was last year, and it made sense, he's a great song writer. buffet fans are pathetic, and they were bitching that they couldn't tailgate and there weren't slides with kiddie pools to distract them from the terrible music.

they are talking about U2 for next year. thats a little more on track.

Hah! There is a future for you as a music critic.

BTW -- You hit the nail on the head. He sucks. His whole lame cult sucks. The Lawrence Welk of the Baby Boom.
