00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: To the Shirley You Can Be Serious Podcast, everybody. I

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,560
don't know if you've noticed how festive we are at

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,200
the moment, but we are here to talk about a

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,600
freaking lifestyle, right End's up? Baby, Yeah, there are so

15
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:57,359
many quotable moments throughout this guy's life and songs and

16
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:01,520
you just can't beat it. And special game for you today. Okay,

17
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,719
we're going to do the Lost Shaker of Salt game

18
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:08,120
at some point during the podcast. I can't tell you

19
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:11,159
when Salt Shaker shall appear. It probably won't be around

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,359
for very long, but pay close attention if you are,

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,640
oh one of the first three people in the comments

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,159
who can tell me the time signature of when the

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,840
Salt Shaker showed up. I'll send you free T shirt. Free.

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,159
Surely you can't be serious T shirt. Let's go yes

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,079
from our new Merche store. Well, so we're going to

26
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:32,439
sort of yes. I go one. I fixed one problem

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,359
and I've got to fixed the other problem, but the

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,719
two can't communicate together for some reason. I haven't fixed

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,359
that problem yet, but I can still order you a

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,280
T shirt on my own send it to you, no problem.

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,200
Just pay attention for the Salt Shaker. All right, All right,

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Chirley listeners, if this is your first time here, we

33
00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:52,159
compare two monumental albums. The first one that we talked

34
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,000
about in our last episode was the album Eagle's Greatest

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,400
Hits Volume one. That's right, an incredible album, arguably the

36
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:03,640
best selling album of all time. We're pairing it up,

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,000
matching it up, if you will, with Jimmy Buffett's Greatest Hits,

38
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:10,520
which I think there's been a lot of cool swings

39
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,719
at making a creative Greatest Hits album title. This wins

40
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,039
the game far and away. Calling it songs you Know

41
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:21,280
by heart is just pure freaking genius. Yeah, that's great.

42
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:23,319
It's great. So tell me how did you get familiar

43
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,319
with this album?

44
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 4: Well, my my buddy Bomber in high school was a

45
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,680
big Jimmy Buffett guy. He's the one that kind of

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,159
turned me onto it. To me, Jimmy Buffett was this

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,560
kind of unknown person because he wasn't on MTV.

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,159
Speaker 3: Right.

49
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: I do want to bring up the fact that this

50
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,840
album has two different covers.

51
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: Did you notice that. Yeah, there's one with him laying

52
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:46,319
back on like a hammock with the guitar in his hand. Yeah,

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,599
And the one I had was just the plain yellow

54
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:53,520
Jimmy Buffett on the cover. Fir Well, I grew up

55
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,400
with the yellow one, so that's classic one. Yeah, I

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,520
mean it's certainly. The other one seems to capture the

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,199
mood for sure. But which ones you have?

58
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: Well, I like the one with the parrot and the hammock. So,

59
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:04,960
but that's one thing. We're gonna be talking about a

60
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,800
bunch of different things. We're gona talk about Jimmyuffet, We're

61
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,680
goingna talk about the Eagles, We're gonna talk about these songs.

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,159
Give us your opinion on the album cover. Which album

63
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:13,199
is the classic album cover for you?

64
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,719
Speaker 3: Yeah? So this album was literally the album that introduced

65
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:19,479
me to Jimmy Buffett. My brother was in college, and

66
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:22,319
when you're in college, he basically said, these are songs

67
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:24,360
that you have to know every word to. Yeah. As

68
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,159
a matter of fact, the name of the Greatest Hits

69
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:29,000
album is Songs you Know by Heart. And we went

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,360
to Hastings and he bought me the tape the cassette,

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,759
So I had Songs you Know by Heart nice as

72
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,599
my first exposure to Jimmy Buffett. You know where I

73
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:37,240
got mine?

74
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: You know those monthly CD clubs. I think it was

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,159
mine was BMI, and so I got my Jimmy Buffett

76
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:47,759
c D through the BMI CD club. I don't think

77
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,360
I paid for it. I don't think I pay for

78
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:49,960
any of that stuff.

79
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:50,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

80
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: I got my ten for a penny or whatever, got

81
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:55,800
enrolled in the thing and never got the album of

82
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,800
the month or whatever, and just kept sending them back.

83
00:03:57,879 --> 00:03:59,319
All right, Well, let me give you an overview of

84
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,319
this album before we dive into the songs. Just to

85
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,759
refresh everybody, we are comparing Jimmy Buvett's Greatest Hits Songs

86
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,759
you Know by Heart to the Eagles their Greatest Hits

87
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:11,520
nineteen seventy one and nineteen seventy five. You enjoy your

88
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:12,879
Cheezburger and Paradise over there?

89
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,039
Speaker 3: Good okay.

90
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,319
Speaker 4: So this album has sold over five million copies in

91
00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:19,839
the United States. When Jimmy died in September of twenty

92
00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:22,120
twenty three, this album peaked at number four on the

93
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,199
Billboard two hundred and according to Jimmy himself, he's just

94
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,600
a Catholic ultar boy who wanted to play bass and

95
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,319
meat chicks.

96
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,759
Speaker 3: Speaking of passing away, I think is important to note,

97
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,959
as we're talking beach music, right, we are recording this

98
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:37,319
on the day of the passing of one of the

99
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:41,240
biggest icons in music history. Little moment of silence for

100
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,120
Brian Wilson, the founding and pivotal member of the Beach Boys.

101
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,879
God rest his soul. I think he's in a better

102
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:50,120
spot now. Yep. Time to jump into the first song,

103
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,079
which speaking of pines fifty seven, Cheezburger and.

104
00:04:53,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 5: Paradise tried doing Carnivers Abbott.

105
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 6: Seven eight.

106
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 4: All right d So This song was released as the

107
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,680
first single off The Son of a Son of a Sailor,

108
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,000
as his eighth album, released in nineteen seventy seven. This

109
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:19,639
song reached number thirty two on the Hot one hundred

110
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:22,800
June seventeenth of nineteen seventy eight, pretty close to the

111
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,040
anniversary to that. We're June tenth today, so the Hot

112
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,879

113
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: Eight June eleventh. Just in case people think we had

114
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:35,199
a premonition about the death of Brian Wilson.

115
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,079
Speaker 4: So here's your top seven from June seventeenth, nineteen seventy eight.

Denise Williams. Okay, do you remember the last time we

121
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,399
talked about Johnny Mathis and Denise Williams singing a song together?

122
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: Believe it was the TV theme songs TV theme songs.

123

by Andy Gibb.

131
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: Most of those are absolute bangers that stood the test

132
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:24,839
of time.

133
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:28,079
Speaker 4: Yes, all right, I've got the description of this burger,

134
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,360
but before I give that to you, tell me the

135
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:35,360
story on how he came to have this cheeseburger in Paradise.

136
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,319
Speaker 3: Before I get into that, I just have to say

137
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:40,120
the line at the beginning. It doesn't sound like this story, right.

138
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,240
It sounds like he's he was on a diet. Right,

139
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,279
He's losing weight without speed eating sunflower seeds. And when

140
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:47,360
I first got this album and I was listening to

141
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:49,480
those words and trying to learn them all by heart,

142
00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:52,240
I was like, how do you speed eat sunflower seeds?

143
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,399
It's like speed walking? What is that? Right? Yes? No,

144
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:02,279
losing weight without speed period beat the drug. Yes, that's

145
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,560
what he was talking about that I was a little

146
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,560
too young to understand all of that. So he is

147
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,240
not speed eating. He is losing weight without speed eating

148
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:13,720
sunsiulet with flower seeds. So this story comes from kind

149
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,439
of accident that he had on his boat that he bought,

150
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,439
the Euphoria, And this boat is kind of a I mean,

151
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,800
it's an iconic moment in his life. He got. He

152
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:24,319
got this at a point that he had finally made

153
00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:27,240
enough money to buy a boat, and so he bought

154
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,920
a boat, and his you know, his accountant was just like,

155
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,800
this is please, don't do this, and he's thinking of

156
00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:38,720
Aerol Flynn's accountant, who literally tried to do everything he could.

157
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaking of Errol Flynn will come up a little bit

158
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,120
later in the same swave Aerol Flynn and the Chikh

159
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,439
of Arab Anyway, apparently Aero Flynn's accountant on his deathbed

160
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:53,240
said tell tell Errol, I'm sorry, and that was his

161
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,879
last words that he dropped dead. So his account knew

162
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:57,000
this the story, and he was like, this is not you.

163
00:07:57,079 --> 00:07:59,480
You shouldn't do this, but this was this was his

164
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,240
purchase of freedom, right. He wanted a place that was

165
00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:06,439
completely his own, that a bank couldn't take away from him,

166
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,399
and that he could use to go anywhere in the

167
00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:11,680
world he wanted to go. Unfortunately, going anywhere you want

168
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,600
to go sometimes put you in places that you may

169
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:16,759
not want to be. And so he got stuck on

170
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,519
this ship for a long period of time trying to

171
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:23,199
get out of the problem, and all he had was

172
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,759
basically like canned food and some peanut butter, and so

173
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:29,680
he eventually gets the ship back in order. They make

174
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,320
it to a place called Cabbage Key. It's down obviously

175
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:37,679
in the Caribbean around the Keys, and Cabbage Key had

176
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,480
a little in called the Cabbage Key In. And at

177
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,000
the Cabbage Key In there was a restaurant that served

178
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,320
burgers with lettuce and tomato. Heinz fifty seven French fried potatoes,

179
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,200
big kosher pickle, and a cold glass beer.

180
00:08:50,279 --> 00:09:08,159
Speaker 4: You know, I heard him talk about this. He said

181
00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:12,080
that the bun was burned and the burger was charred black,

182
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,399
but it tasted like manna from heaven, just having access

183
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,399
to an American cheeseburger after living on canned food in

184
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,279
the open ocean.

185
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: So the Cabbage Key In it's still open and it's

186
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:29,000
still operating really and you can go there, but you

187
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:32,679
can't drive there. Okay. It is on an island called

188
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,600
Pine Island Sound. It's one hundred acre island. It's near

189
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:39,679
Fort Myers, Florida. But you can only get there by boat,

190
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,960
helicopter or seaplane. That's it. Can you swim? I couldn't.

191
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:50,960
It was. It was built in the forties by the

192
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,840
family of Mary Roberts. Ryan Hart. It is historic obviously

193
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:58,399
for this song. Still there covered in dollar dollar bills

194
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,840
from people who would visit. And you know, I've been

195
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,879
to those places too. There's a place in Destined that

196
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:05,720
I go to that has that kind of feel to it.

197
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:08,200
I would love to go there. Yeah, and get a

198
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:13,000
cheeseburger in Paradise. Yep, no TVs, phones in the rooms,

199
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,879
just basic, who cares? Yeah? Love it? Yeah, awesome, really

200
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:20,759
getting away? Yeah, I would love to that. I am

201
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,559
sure that a lot of parrotheads have visited that local

202
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,159
quite sure.

203
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: Yes, Okay, So I wanted to tell you I think

204
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,480
I tell you this today. There is a big misheard

205
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,519
lyric in this song.

206
00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:32,519
Speaker 3: You blew my mind with this same okay? Did I

207
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,840
have no idea about that? All right?

208
00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 4: So when he's describing the burger, here's the description that

209
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:37,559
you get.

210
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: Okay.

211
00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 4: So it's a huge burger on a warm bun with

212
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,639
an onion slice, lettuce, tomato, HEINZ fifty seven sauce, with

213
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,200
French fries, and a big kosher pickle. Of course, a

214
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,240
cold draft beer. But he mentions that it has munster,

215
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,320
not mustard. Most people think it says mustard. Hmm, apparently

216
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,360
this was a misheard lyric number one, but also a

217
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:01,399
typo in the print of the lyrics to this song.

218
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can see why they made the typo because

219
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,440
it sounds like mustard.

220
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: It sounds like mustard number one, and it also makes

221
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,240
a lot of sense.

222
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, because mustard you put on a cheeseburger. Not many

223
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,919
people using munster cheese. Munster cheese is what he wants

224
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,759
on his cheeseburger. It's kind of a bland cheese. I mean,

225
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:20,159
it's not would I would, I'd pick cheddar.

226
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,799
Speaker 4: I did you don't need mustard when you got heines

227
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:23,360
fifty seven?

228
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 3: Okay, song number two, beautiful song. He went to Paris.

229
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 7: He went to Paris looking for answers to questions.

230
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: And bothered and so.

231
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 8: He was impressive, young, an aggressive.

232
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,799
Speaker 5: Saving the world on his own.

233
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 9: Warm summer Breeze is French wines and cheeses, but his ambition.

234
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 4: This is off the album A White sport Coat and

235
00:11:58,279 --> 00:11:59,679
a pink crustacean.

236
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 3: Okay, So before we dive into the song, that album

237
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,960
name is an interesting one, right. It is based upon

238
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,279
the country song A White sport Coat and a pink carnation.

239
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:14,120
He had a little bit of trouble with fitting in

240
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,679
with the country music scene, which is way why he

241
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,200
basically developed his own complete genre of music all by himself.

242
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,519
But that was a little satire of the white sport

243
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,320
coat and a pink carnation.

244
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: Marty Robbins is the guy who wrote that yeah, which

245
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,360
is a great song.

246
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:30,919
Speaker 2: It is.

247
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

248
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 4: I heard him talk about how he spent five terrible

249
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:37,879
years in Nashville before he discovered Key West.

250
00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

251
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,399
Speaker 3: I mean it's really funny because that had to be

252
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,960
such a pivotal time in his life. He was working

253
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,519
for Billboard magazine at that time, right, doing reports on

254
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,720
songs instead of being a full time musician. But I mean,

255
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:52,240
hey is paying bills, and he was meeting all kinds

256
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,080
of people who could help him out in his quest

257
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,679
to become a musician, right. And so he ended up

258
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,639
going a few different places, traveling around of course, and

259
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,720
living in a few places at that time as well.

260
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,399
But one of the places he traveled to was a

261
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:06,679
place called Chicago. Don't know why I said place called, Like,

262
00:13:06,799 --> 00:13:11,000
people don't know where Chicago is. This place you may

263
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,639
not have heard of it. It's a little town. It's

264
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,559
up in Illinois. It's called Chicago. Okay, So anyway, he

265
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:18,759
runs into a guy who's this kind of local hero,

266
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:23,039
so to speak, in Chicago, guy named Eddie Bolchowski. Now

267
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,559
Eddie Bolchowski is a guy who was going to be

268
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,159
a concert pianist. And he was a pianist when he

269
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,960
at whenever he met Jimmy Buffett, but he had moved

270
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,799
out of he and his family moved out of Europe.

271
00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:36,039
He was Jewish and had had faced a lot of

272
00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:39,799
stereotypes and racism because of that, and so they moved

273
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:42,840
to Illinois. And then as he got older, he became

274
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:45,559
very good at piano, was going to probably become a

275
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,759
concert pianist. But then news came out of the Spanish

276
00:13:48,759 --> 00:13:51,360
Civil War over in Spain, right, and so it was

277
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,000
this big you know, the fascists against the Republicans, and

278
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,600
he felt this kinship with the Republicans and their fight,

279
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:02,759
and so he went over there and enlisted, you know,

280
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,559
basically in the American side of the international military over

281
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,919
there called the Lincoln's and he helped the Republicans fight

282
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,039
against the fascists. And at some point during that time,

283
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,679
a sniper shot him through his wrist and he had

284
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,519
to have basically his hand and most of his forearm amputated,

285
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:26,039
which obviously effectively ends your chances of becoming a concert pianist.

286
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:29,519
But then he goes back to the United States. Ultimately,

287
00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:31,879
later on, you know, when he's closer to the end

288
00:14:31,919 --> 00:14:33,720
of his life, he says, you know, he's talking about

289
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:36,799
his lost arm. He said, I gained more by going

290
00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:39,240
and fighting that fight than I lost. I learned more,

291
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,799
became more. But when he got back he would have

292
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,480
phantom pain in his missing arm. Got involved with drugs,

293
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,679
and got addicted to drugs, and then got involved with

294
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:51,399
the bohemian lifestyles of the day, and ultimately ended up

295
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,759
in prison. Really yeah, served a couple of years in

296
00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:56,559
prison on a drug charge. But while he's there, he

297
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,240
meets this guy named last name's Crump. I can't remember

298
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,360
his first name, but he's this guy on death row,

299
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:06,360
and he's just amazed at how intelligent this guy is.

300
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:08,320
He was a guy who was you know, from Chicago,

301
00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:13,480
who had killed a security guard at a messed up

302
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:16,759
robbery attempt, right, Okay, So he persuades them to give

303
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:18,960
this guy a typewriter so that he can write down

304
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,000
his story. And this guy types up a biography of

305
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:25,399
his life, and it gets published the name of its Burn,

306
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,639
Killer Burn, and it's his life of growing up in

307
00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:29,759
these hard times and how he led him to a

308
00:15:29,799 --> 00:15:31,919
life of crime and all this stuff. And ultimately, because

309
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,679
of all of that, because of Eddie Bolzowski's helping him

310
00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:37,519
out and him writing this book, he ultimately gets pardoned

311
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,720
and gets released from prison in the early nineties. Wow.

312
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,159
So back to Eddie Bolczowski because he had become such

313
00:15:44,159 --> 00:15:46,679
a kind of eccentric character. You know, once he's out

314
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,120
of prison, he's had not only multiple stories written about him,

315
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:54,720
he's had multiple songs. This is just one of very

316
00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:57,440
many songs that he had written about him. But it was,

317
00:15:57,679 --> 00:16:01,639
you know, his journey to Paris to find out what

318
00:16:01,679 --> 00:16:02,600
life is really about.

319
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 4: Do you remember the last time we talked about a

320
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,440
one armed pianist.

321
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: No, but I feel like the punchline was it takes

322
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,960
some two minutes to play the one Jaws the revenge.

323
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 4: All right, So I've got some tidbits for you on

324
00:16:16,759 --> 00:16:17,000
this song.

325
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:17,279
Speaker 3: Okay.

326
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,679
Speaker 4: Jimmy Buffett says this is one of his favorite songs

327
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:21,759
that he ever wrote. Waylon Jennings covered this song in

328
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,120
nineteen eighty Now, Jimmy Buffett at the time rarely played

329
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,120
this live until he heard that Bob Dylan was playing

330
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,960
a cover of it at his concerts.

331
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: Oh wow. And he was just.

332
00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:34,679
Speaker 4: Astounded that Bob Dylan even knew who he was, never one,

333
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:37,559
and that he liked his song, right okay yea. And

334
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:39,919
he said, this is before the internet, so he couldn't

335
00:16:39,919 --> 00:16:41,840
It's not like he could go on YouTube and look

336
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,279
at the video of him doing it. And so he

337
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:46,559
was just taken aback that Bob Dylan would do this.

338
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:49,600
So later on he meets up with Bob Dylan in

339
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,799
Saint Bart's.

340
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,279
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, nice.

341
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: So they spend the day together on their boat okay,

342
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,399
and they go fishing and they sing and they get

343
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,919
stoned all day long and they have this.

344
00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: Great day together.

345
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,599
Speaker 4: And so Jimmy feels like he and Bob are like, hey,

346
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:08,200
we're buddies, you know. We spent the day together, Yeah,

347
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,279
hanging out, partying, having a great time. And so a

348
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:14,079
few years later, Tom Petty is playing in Paris, and

349
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,319
so went to Paris. So Jimmy goes to Paris to

350
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,680
see Tom Petty play. Well, he finds out that Bob

351
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,400
Dylan is backstage and they have a co friend who's

352
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,960
in charge of security, and he sends word to Jimmy.

353
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,920
He's like, hey, Bob's going to be backstage once you

354
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:29,920
come back and hang out.

355
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,559
Speaker 3: And Jimmy's like, well, heck, yeah, Bob's my buddy. Height

356
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,920
We hung out, we fished, we sang, we did drugs together.

357
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,720
It was great. And when he goes back there, he's like, hey, Bob,

358
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:42,680
how you doing, man, he said. Bob goes, eh, so

359
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,400
just a grunt, okay. He said, well, what's going on, Bob,

360
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,200
haven't seen you a long time. You're doing okay? And

361
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,880
that's it. That was their in direction.

362
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,799
Speaker 4: Weird, just just Bob Dylan being Bob Dylan.

363
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,079
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, too much drugging and losing, I think.

364
00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:05,839
Speaker 4: So this song came at a time when Jimmy Buffett

365
00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:10,559
was transitioning from that Nashville country style to the Key

366
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:13,279
West tropical thing. In two thousand and three, Jimmy called

367
00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:16,079
this a tribute to a guy who knows a lot

368
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,519
about living all right. Next song on the album, the

369
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:19,559
song is called.

370
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 3: Finns Fins to the left, Fins to the right, and

371
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,920
You're the only bait in town. So the woman from

372
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,440
Cincinnati has not been officially identified yet, although there have

373
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:44,000
been flames. What's interesting that relates back to something that

374
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:47,440
we've talked about before, the inspiration from the songs. A

375
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,799
lot of times, you know, it's just people in the audience.

376
00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:52,799
As you're watching people get stoned and drink too much,

377
00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:54,720
all of a sudden, the sharks get a little hungry,

378
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:58,200
if you know what I mean, right, And so there's that.

379
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,240
But he said he also would see people on the

380
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,480
beach and specifically referred to Montserrat.

381
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 4: This song was from the album Volcano, which was recorded

382
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,319
which was recorded at Montserrat, and of course the title

383
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,400
Volcano is in reference to the giant volcano at Monterret.

384
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,319
Speaker 3: Obviously, we'll talk about that at the very last song

385
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,200
of the album, but we talked about that one before

386
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:18,960
a couple of times. We talked about it when we

387
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,480
talked about the.

388
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,279
Speaker 4: Police, the police recorded Goes to the Machine and Synchronicity

389
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,079
in Montserrat.

390
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, go go check out Synchronousy episode in season one,

391
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,640
I think. But we just got finished talking about it

392
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,279
when we talked about Dire Straits, Brothers and Arms. Yeah,

393
00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:33,599
we are still waiting from that.

394
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,079
Speaker 4: Patreon member to come through with a couple of plane

395
00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:37,200
tickets to Monsterrat.

396
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,279
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And speaking of that, we had somebody after

397
00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:43,960
our Dire Straits episode who would I would describe as

398
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,920
a Dire Straits super fan tell us how much you

399
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,599
liked the show. But his name is Tom Marvin, and

400
00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:53,359
he let us know that actually they got the Neve

401
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,759
soundboard out of the recording studio, so we can't that's

402
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,359
that mystery is solved. But I'd still go down there

403
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,200
to check it out with if somebody bought his plane ticket.

404
00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:04,559
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's cool that they save the knee board though,

405
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,799
And thanks Tom for sending that to us.

406
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:09,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you really appreciate you, Tom, Thank you very much.

407
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 4: All Right, So I want to tell you this song

408
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,960
is a part of the Big Eight. Every band has

409
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,680
its staple songs, right, You're never gonna go to an

410
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,640
Aerosmith song and they not play dream On or.

411
00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:20,799
Speaker 3: Sweet Emotion, right, Okay, Yeah, So.

412
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:23,599
Speaker 4: Jimmy Buffett has these eight songs that he's always going

413
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,119
to be playing. So the Big Eight are Marguerite de Ville,

414
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,880
which we'll talk about here in a second. Come Monday,

415

a pirate looks at forty cheese burger in Paradise, Why

417
00:20:34,519 --> 00:20:37,839
don't we get drunk? And changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes.

418
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,799
Speaker 3: I don't think you should be allowed to say the

419
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,960
song title why don't We Get Drunk without saying the

420
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,480
four don't we get drunk? And screw.

421
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,759
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've ever seen any concert footage,

422
00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:50,960
but they the fans have a dance, like a choreographed

423
00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:52,400
dance song.

424
00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:54,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a it's a.

425
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:56,839
Speaker 4: They all do the fins to the right, their fence

426
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,079
to the left, fence to the right, and it's all

427
00:20:59,119 --> 00:20:59,720
this kind.

00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:01,880

467
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,119
a number one song? I had no idea. It's awful,

468
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,200
all right. Next song on the album this is son

469
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:51,559
of a Son of a sailor. So I love this

470
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,119
just because it's so true to his life. So his grandfather,

471
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,039
James D.

472
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 4: I believe Delaney. Yeah, James Delaney Buffett.

473
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just love that. He's James D. Like me.

474
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:08,519
So he was a sailor. He was a guy who

475
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,279
he could not sit still. Born in the late eighteen hundreds.

476
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:14,319
But he, like he said, I got to get out

477
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,200
of this place. Carled out of his room at like

478
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,920
sixteen years old or something and went and got on

479
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,279
a ship and started sailing. Very very call me Ishmael

480
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:22,920
Moby Dick.

481
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 4: He was born in Canada and he moved to Mobile, Alabama.

482
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so he'd lived in all kinds of places,

483
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,839
had all kinds of adventures on the sea, and he

484
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,440
would share this with his young grandson, Jimmy. Jimmy even

485
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,160
points out in his book he was closer with his

486
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,279
grandfather than he was with his dad. His dad wanted

487
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:42,240
him to go to the military. His dad was more

488
00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:45,559
straightly laced. But he loved the stories that he would

489
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:48,640
hear from his grandfather. And there was this big pivotal

490
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,279
moment in his life where his grandfather takes him out

491
00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:54,319
to a peer I think near Mobile where he grew up.

492
00:23:54,519 --> 00:23:56,720
He shows him a map and just his pointing to

493
00:23:56,799 --> 00:23:59,599
all of these different amazing places that he's been and

494
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,240
that are you know, incredible places to go, and he

495
00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:05,799
says and points, sit here we are, and it basically

496
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,799
shows you the route you can go from this spot

497
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,799
to get to all of those places. And that was

498
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:13,119
such an eye opening experience for him. It and molded

499
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,200
his whole life. It's fantastic. Yeah, love it. So here's

500
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,200
his quote on this song.

501
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've always been proud of my heritage as a sailor,

502
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,240
and I wrote this for the man that.

503
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: Taught me those skills.

504
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,079
Speaker 4: Also, the song The Captain and the Kid was written

505
00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:27,480
about his grandfather as well. This was the lead single

506
00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:29,279
off of the album Son of a Son of a

507
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:32,400
Sailor from nineteen seventy eight. But what I've been dying

508
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,480
to get off my chest. I sent you this nugget

509
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:38,720
this week. Do you remember where Jimmy Buffett got married?

510
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:40,519
To his second wife, Jane.

511
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,839
Speaker 3: You sent this to me. You know, we text each other,

512
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,559
that's what we do. And he couldn't he could not

513
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,799
wait for this. He deliterally could not wait. He had

514
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:52,599
to tell me. I was kind of blowing you up, right.

515
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,839
You were like, do you know where Jimmy got married?

516
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,519
And I was like, I don't know, Denver. I was

517
00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:59,240
just guessing because I know the story with Jane and

518
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,200
that whole deal. So I was like, Denver, and it

519
00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:05,000
wasn't far off. You were pretty close. Yeah, it was Aspen.

520
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,240
It was Aspen. But there's more to the story.

521
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 4: He got married in Aspen at Glenn Fry's house.

522
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 3: Glenn Fry, who was a member of the Eagles, whose

523
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,920
album we were comparing to. This album absolutely Glenn Fry

524
00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:18,720
one of the main singers of the Eagles, and we

525
00:25:18,759 --> 00:25:21,039
did not know this before we started this matchup. So

526
00:25:21,079 --> 00:25:23,599
it's just it's awesome when we find these little connections,

527
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,079
just like you did with Timothy B. Schmid and the

528
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,279
Parrot Heads, right, it's love it. I love it. I

529
00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:28,640
love it.

530
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 4: So he and Glenn Fry were good friends. They had

531
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,359
the wedding at his house. I told you Hunter s

532
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,759
Thompson and his wife were there.

533
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:35,559
Speaker 3: Hunter S.

534
00:25:35,599 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 4: Thompson and Jimmy Buffett were good friends. When Hunter S

535
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,519
Thompson and his wife were splitting up and it was

536
00:25:41,559 --> 00:25:44,920
a bad deal and he was kind of a mess, Jimmy,

537
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,759
in true blue friend fashion, said hey, come down, hang

538
00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:51,480
out with me and Key West. We'll fish, we'll hang

539
00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:53,200
out and just come in and recover.

540
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,079
Speaker 3: And so.

541
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,319
Speaker 4: It was really a friend helping a friend who is

542
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,519
kind of desperate at the moment.

543
00:25:59,680 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

544
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,599
Speaker 4: Now, then I did have another story where Jimmy let

545
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,920
another person kind of crash at his pada, except he

546
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,119
wasn't in town, so it was a house sitting situation.

547
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,200
And then this person proceeded to have a party and

548
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,279
then had unwanted guests and then they got out of

549
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:17,799
control and they trashed his place. When Jimmy returned and

550
00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:20,440
saw what had happened to his apartment, he wrote a

551
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,480
song called Gypsy's at the Palace. I love that song,

552
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:27,119
and he and Glenn Fry wrote that song together.

553
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's awesome, all right.

554
00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 4: Next song on the album Let's Do It A Pirate

555
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,400
looks at forty.

556
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 7: Mother Mother ros.

557
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 10: I've heard you call, wanted to say upon you since

558
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:46,839
I was three feet tone.

559
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 9: You seen it, you seen it all.

560
00:26:57,559 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 5: Watch the man who wrote you.

561
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 7: Switchman, seeste.

562
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 9: In You, Belly you, the treasures he hev seen most

563
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,240
of the dreams, most of.

564
00:27:17,799 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 3: Dream Okay, this one I think might tie for second

565
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,920
place for me for favorite songs on the album. Interesting. Okay,

566
00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:32,599
here's my concern about this song written in nineteen seventy four, right,

567
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,279
that would make Jimmy Buffett less than thirty. How is

568
00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:38,160
how is he a pirate looking at forty if he's

569
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:38,880
less than thirty?

570
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 4: Well, because this song was written about a friend of

571
00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:43,200
his named Phil Clark.

572
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,759
Speaker 3: Rusty rusty Yeah what they called him, Phil Rusty Clark. Yeah?

573
00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 4: Okay, so this guy was a card player, gambler, scoundrel.

574
00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 3: You'd like him? Yeah, I think nice. I think this

575
00:27:57,279 --> 00:28:00,200
guy probably was less of a friend and more a

576
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,799
guy he met in a bar one night. He was

577
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:04,920
the guy who was who was staring down the barrel

578
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,880
of forty or maybe a little over forty. His history

579
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,400
is a little murky because well, he was smuggling his

580
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,000
share of grass. This was nineteen seventies. This was the

581
00:28:16,039 --> 00:28:19,599
cocaine cowboy era where like all kinds of drugs come in,

582
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,720
especially into Key West. Basically, Buffet, Jimmy Buffett got offered,

583
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,720
you know, hey, one run and you're gonna make more

584
00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:30,400
money than you do all years singing songs. And I

585
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,599
think he did accept that. I think he denies that

586
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,799
he accepted that. I think he said he didn't actually

587
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:40,960
run any drugs, okay, but no square flounders for him. Yeah.

588
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,960
The guy that he was talking to was just he

589
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,039
literally said, you know, had I been born one hundred

590
00:28:47,079 --> 00:28:49,440
years earlier, I would have been a pirate. I missed

591
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,880
my I missed my era, and I've been drunk for

592
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,599
over two weeks. Now, how about that? Here you go.

593
00:28:55,119 --> 00:28:56,799
Speaker 4: So they met at the chart Room, which is a

594
00:28:56,799 --> 00:28:59,640
bar and Key West, which I think there's kind of

595
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,440
a come thread throughout a lot of these songs. Jimmy

596
00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:05,799
was a great storyteller and he would gather these stories

597
00:29:05,839 --> 00:29:07,799
by talking to people at the bars in Key West.

598
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't know this at the time.

599
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,079
Speaker 4: Almost a year ago today, I was in Key West

600
00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:13,960
and I had a wonderful time there.

601
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:14,559
Speaker 3: It was really cool.

602
00:29:14,599 --> 00:29:17,559
Speaker 4: And Jimmy Buffett's presence in Key West, it's felt he

603
00:29:17,599 --> 00:29:20,039
has got a studio right there that is right by

604
00:29:20,079 --> 00:29:20,559
the restaurants.

605
00:29:20,599 --> 00:29:21,519
Speaker 3: I stood right outside of it.

606
00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:26,799
Speaker 4: But Phil Clark's some of Phil Clark's ashes are kept

607
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,440
behind the cash register at the chart room still in

608
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:29,960
Key West.

609
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: Really. Oh, that's fascinating. That's good one. Pretty cool. Once again,

610
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:36,720
this song is one of the Big eight. Ah, yes,

611
00:29:36,759 --> 00:29:39,599
of course, yeah, I mean god, this is such such

612
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,440
a good song. It's a great song, great story. Yeah,

613
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,200
and made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed

614
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:51,200
it away so fast. Is an interesting idea because this

615
00:29:51,319 --> 00:29:54,319
was written in the seventies when Jimmy Buffett was just

616
00:29:54,759 --> 00:30:00,319
barely emerging. But something happens and by the time he

617
00:30:00,319 --> 00:30:04,200
passes away, he has enough money to buy Miami. It's

618
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,799
worth over a billion dollars. Yeah, at the time of

619
00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:10,440
his death. Yeah, hovering right there, around a billion. That's

620
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,039
a lot. But how did he get there? Right? Was

621
00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:15,559
it all just from these amazing songs? It was not

622
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,640
from recordize for sure. Well, I guess our next song

623
00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:21,160
may answer the question for us. Next song on the

624
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,079
album You've been waiting for it. This is a big one.

625
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 6: Marguerite Deville Sponge Gig.

626
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 3: You can't deny the vibe, Boys and girls.

627
00:30:42,839 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 4: This is a perfect Jimmy Buffetts song.

628
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 3: It truly is, and it defines him. It literally defines him.

629
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,920
Or yeah, and here's a great thing. So this song

630
00:30:54,079 --> 00:30:56,400
comes from a real moment in his life. He was

631
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:01,000
having lunch at or dinner or maybe both at Lungs

632
00:31:01,079 --> 00:31:05,000
Cosina del cur right down in Austin, Texas, and he

633
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:11,319
actually like lost one of his flip flops. Where's the salt?

634
00:31:12,039 --> 00:31:15,680
And so he is notorious and I'll tell more stories later,

635
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,279
but he is notorious for losing things. It used to

636
00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:20,880
be that like whenever he would come in to see

637
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,240
his agent, the agent told his secretary, your job when

638
00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:27,799
Jimmy comes in is to make sure you get his keys,

639
00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:30,839
because if you didn't get him from him, he'd get

640
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,519
up and he would have lost them. Every single time.

641
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,920
He just always was losing his keys, or his salt shaker,

642
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:41,759
or his flip flop. And so he had had been

643
00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:47,000
drinking heavily. He lost his flip flop. He's trying to

644
00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:50,519
walk home and he literally cuts his heel on a

645
00:31:50,599 --> 00:31:54,839
pop top, remember those pop tops, wheel Those suckers were

646
00:31:54,839 --> 00:31:58,519
pretty sharp cut piece of metal. Right there is what

647
00:31:58,599 --> 00:32:01,680
you got. So I don't remember whether this was producer

648
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,319
or his manager who was. But he calls him and

649
00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:06,440
he's like, hey, Jimmy, you know what you doing? And

650
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,880
he's like, well, I was having lunch, had few too

651
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,039
many Margarita has lost my flip flop, cut my heel

652
00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:13,000
on pop top. I'm actually, you know, I got stuck

653
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:15,200
in traffic. I started writing a song about it, and

654
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,160
he and whoever it was he was talking to, he

655
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,000
literally said, that's a terrible idea for a song. You

656
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:22,680
should skip that and move on to something else. Can

657
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,599
you imagine had he listened, right, had he listened, the

658
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,920
events that would unfold that would lead to his billionaire

659
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,079
status would not might not have happened.

660
00:32:35,559 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 5: Wistin away again and of.

661
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: It searching for.

662
00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 4: Okay, So I told you on the way over here,

663
00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:54,279
I heard a story that it's kind of widely regarded

664
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,640
as the most.

665
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,319
Speaker 3: Profitable song of all time.

666
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 4: Used to be White Cristmas by Big Crosby, But it

667
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,759
is now basically understood that Margaritaville is the most profitable

668
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:06,880
song of all time.

669
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: There's no way that White Christmas is worth a billion

670
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,559
dollars right.

671
00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 4: This song launched Casinos Hotels, flip Flop company, restaurants.

672
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,039
Speaker 3: I mean, we started with restaurants. Restaurants were first, and

673
00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:22,960
then it would just blossom into you know, all kinds

674
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,920
of retirement homes. It became a retirement community, like all

675
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,920
of the parrot Heeads want to retire into into the

676
00:33:32,119 --> 00:33:37,640
Margaritaville retirement village where they can go have their four

677
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,839
o'clock lunch to dinner at cheeseburgers and paradise. It's fantastic.

678
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, who doesn't love I mean, if you don't like

679
00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:47,160
Jimmy Buffett, if you're like, hey.

680
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: The Eagles are way better.

681
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 4: Whatever, you don't like beat strips, you don't like hanging

682
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,119
out and having done well.

683
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 3: It's and we'll talk about more when we're given our

684
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,559
final judgment, but we're talking about the difference between great

685
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,240
music and music that gives you a lifestyle, like gives

686
00:34:04,279 --> 00:34:07,480
you a glimpse of something you want. Yes, and that's

687
00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:12,280
why this Margaritaville was brand was so incredibly profitable. Right.

688
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,400
Everybody wants that flavor, They want that lifestyle that Jimmy

689
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,360
Buffett had and told the stories about and wrote songs

690
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,920
about and wrote books about. And yah, I mean, in

691
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,880
doing this research, I'm just like man, I just want

692
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,960
to go sit on the patio at Louis and just

693
00:34:27,039 --> 00:34:29,280
have a margarita. Just you know, I'll read a pirate

694
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,760
looks at fifty and just enjoy my day. This song

695
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,320
was covered by Sammy Hagar and Toby Keith. Yeah Native Norman,

696
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,199
Oklahoma and Toby Keith. God rest his soul, by the way,

697
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:41,360
I used to play softball against him. Nice.

698
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:44,599
Speaker 4: So this song hit number eight on the Hot one hundred,

699
00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:45,519
so it's his biggest hit.

700
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: Uh Huhkay.

701
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 4: Now I'm like, why didn't this song reach higher? I

702
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,320
still think it should have been higher, And then I

703
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,440
look at what's in front of it.

704
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm certain that it should have been higher.

705
00:34:57,519 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 4: Okay, So this is the the Hot one hundred from

706

713
00:35:31,559 --> 00:35:34,079
these names, but don't tell me these songs are better

714
00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:36,880
than Margeritaville. Number two, I just want to be here

715
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,320
Everything by Andy Gibb and number one looks like we

716
00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:41,239
made it.

717
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 3: By Barry Manilow. Wow, Wow, Margeriteville. That should have been

718
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,880
a number one hit. Yeah, it's incredible.

719
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,599
Speaker 4: I saw Jimmy Buffett on Johnny Carson, I think it

720
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:52,079
was Johnny Carson. It was one of those late night

721
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:55,480
talk shows, and he said, there's a third verse that

722
00:35:55,559 --> 00:35:57,440
we cut out to make the single, you know, a

723
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,719
little bit shorter, and he played it for him.

724
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 3: You want to hear the lyrics to this? Yeah, okay,

725
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,440
here you go. This is kind of fun.

726
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 4: It says old men and tank tops cruising the gift shops,

727
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:14,000
checking out chakdahs down by the shore. They dream about

728
00:36:14,039 --> 00:36:17,719
weight loss, wish they could be their own boss. Those

729
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,079
three day vacations can be such a bore.

730
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,199
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's kind of even rubbing it in a

731
00:36:23,199 --> 00:36:26,519
little bit, like this is my life and this is

732
00:36:26,559 --> 00:36:27,719
three days out of your year.

733
00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:33,159
Speaker 4: You wish you should have this right, wonderful song, incredible hit.

734
00:36:33,199 --> 00:36:35,519
Stop on your tape player, kick it out, flip it over.

735
00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Side two, here we go. We start off with start.

736
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,480
I'm spiking the football on this one. This is the

737
00:36:41,519 --> 00:36:44,039
best song on the album.

738
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 4: Song Come Monday to.

739
00:36:56,199 --> 00:37:01,039
Speaker 7: San Prancisco, Father, lay of It Weekend.

740
00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 3: This is such a great song. It's a love song.

741
00:37:06,639 --> 00:37:10,599
And you know, most most of Jimmy Buffett's songs, you're

742
00:37:10,599 --> 00:37:12,679
gonna say like this is this three chords in the

743
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,119
truth right, Like I mean, it's just this is just

744
00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:20,360
very simple, simple stuff. But this song really brings it out,

745
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,199
Like the music behind the lyrics on this is really

746
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,559
truly impressive. And then he absolutely makes you feel all

747
00:37:28,639 --> 00:37:30,800
the pain that he felt as a guy who was

748
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,880
young and in love and forced to be away from

749
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,320
his beautiful, beautiful girlfriend. Who would he would later not

750
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,480
not too much later. Mary in Aspen, Colorado and Glenn

751
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:43,719
Fries that's her house.

752
00:37:44,159 --> 00:37:46,199
Speaker 4: So we talked about the chart room. In Key West

753
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:49,039
in nineteen seventy two, he met a girl who was

754
00:37:49,079 --> 00:37:52,360
on spring break. She attended the University of South Carolina. Yep,

755
00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:54,679
it was down in Key West. Just for a good time,

756
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,960
and was like, I want to talk to that girl.

757
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, her name was Jane. They were married until his death.

758
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, they went through a little rocky patch maybe in

759
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,480
the eighties, but it's true.

760
00:38:04,599 --> 00:38:08,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, his his addictions got a little bad

761
00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:10,760
and it got a little rough, but they worked it out.

762
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,760
But he had been married once before he met her,

763
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,800
and that ended in divorce. But yeah, she was I mean,

764
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,440
obviously she's in college. She's i think still maybe even

765
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,880
a teenager at the time that they met, and he's

766
00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:25,719
early twenties. Not you know, it's not inappropriate, but he

767
00:38:26,119 --> 00:38:32,159
is struck by her beauty model, tan, southern charm, you know,

768
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:37,559
South Carolina girl. Yeah, and she is. She's known to

769
00:38:37,559 --> 00:38:39,840
be the one that grounded him in his kind of

770
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,480
crazy lifestyle of Okay, Jimmy, we can't do that's just

771
00:38:44,599 --> 00:38:50,440
that's just a little too crazy to explain, and and

772
00:38:50,639 --> 00:38:51,159
it sad.

773
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,039
Speaker 2: Look, so.

774
00:38:53,639 --> 00:38:56,559
Speaker 5: Last reason, I just let you go.

775
00:38:57,199 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 9: Come London.

776
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 7: It'll be.

777
00:39:01,599 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 9: God Monday, I'll be holding You're tired.

778
00:39:05,599 --> 00:39:08,039
Speaker 2: I spent four lonely days.

779
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 11: In a brown la and I just want you.

780
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 3: Back by my side, so he mentions in the song.

781
00:39:16,519 --> 00:39:19,559
Speaker 4: Headed out to San Francisco for a Labor Day weekend show.

782
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,360
That's an actual show. You're going to circle it on

783
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,719
the calendar. That was a real event that happened. Yeah,

784
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,440
he was appearing for Country Joe McDonald and the Lions

785
00:39:28,559 --> 00:39:32,559
Share Club in San Anselmo, okay. And the song was

786
00:39:32,559 --> 00:39:33,880
written at a Howard Johnson's.

787
00:39:34,119 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had been in LA. He was headed up

788
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,920
to San Francisco, but it was just a miserable experience

789
00:39:42,159 --> 00:39:45,159
for him. He was just unhappy because it wasn't really

790
00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:48,320
a place he wanted to be, and even more unhappy

791
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,599
because he was missing the place so badly that he

792
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:52,239
did want to be. And they did have plans to

793
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,119
go hiking. And as a matter of fact, I got

794
00:39:55,119 --> 00:39:57,760
my Hush Puppies on. I guess I never was meant

795
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,719
for glitter rock and roll. I've got boat shoes on

796
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:06,800
right now you look. And when this song was released

797
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,480
in the UK, they wouldn't let them play it on

798
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,639
the radio because I guess the BBC or whoever it

799
00:40:12,679 --> 00:40:16,199
was that governed those kind of things said, well, Hushpuppies

800
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,639
are a named brand and so that means this is

801
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:24,320
an advertisement, not a song. And so he very quickly

802
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,400
recorded a line for the British audience, I've got my

803
00:40:28,639 --> 00:40:32,639
hiking shoes on instead of my Hush Puppies on. Weird. Yeah,

804
00:40:32,679 --> 00:40:36,000
so there's somewhere out there. There is a a UK

805
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,480
radio version of this song where he says, I've got

806
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,280
my hiking shoes on. Have you seen the video for this? No?

807
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 4: Okay, so real low budget, like they were broke, they

808
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:46,400
had no money.

809
00:40:46,599 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 3: Okay.

810
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 4: So Jane's in it, she's a model, she's in it.

811
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 3: For free because she's his girlfriend.

812
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, he's driving his truck around, you know, just

813
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,159
they're just kind of dinking around.

814
00:40:55,159 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a basic music video. Yeah, but

815
00:40:58,639 --> 00:40:59,199
as he was.

816
00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 4: Commenting on the he said, hey, there's my old truck.

817
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,760
That thing got impounded and crushed.

818
00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 3: It's like an old.

819
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 4: Friend that had died, you don't. Yeah, So beautiful song.

820
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,519
Speaker 3: I love it. It's great. It's one of the Big Eight.

821
00:41:12,159 --> 00:41:13,960
Of course. Of course, of course.

822
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 4: Next song the album Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.

823
00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 3: This comes from the Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

824
00:41:40,039 --> 00:41:44,519
album of nineteen seventy seven, right, But it's probably about

825
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,760
in the early seventies when he was struggling in Nashville

826
00:41:48,159 --> 00:41:50,320
where they were trying to make him a country singer,

827
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,199
and he was trying to figure out how to do

828
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,840
it and didn't like that they wanted this polished sound,

829
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,000
and he wanted to be more real, more raw. So

830
00:41:59,199 --> 00:42:03,039
eventually he changed his latitude. I think he traveled up

831
00:42:03,039 --> 00:42:05,159
to New York for a time, but then ultimately ended

832
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,880
up down in Key West, where he was fascinated by

833
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,760
the lifestyle, the pirate history, and the yeah, the neat

834
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,800
games that they would have done there. So there I

835
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,440
was reading about one particular game that they had where

836
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,039
it was him. It was him and I think two

837
00:42:21,199 --> 00:42:23,320
or three other guys, you know, it was him and

838
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,000
one other guy and two girls. And it was a

839
00:42:26,119 --> 00:42:29,119
race that involved a boat. But it started at the

840
00:42:29,159 --> 00:42:31,800
bar where you took a shot, and then you had

841
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,920
to run down to the boat where you took a shot,

842
00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:37,480
and then you get the boat in the water, and

843
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,440
then you took a shot, and then you took the

844
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,920
boat out to some booie marker out there, right and

845
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,159
took a shot, and then came back, and the first

846
00:42:45,159 --> 00:42:48,480
one back took a shot and then won the race. Right.

847
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,199
And so by the time they get out on the water,

848
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,079
they're pretty well hammered, right, And so they the guy

849
00:42:57,119 --> 00:42:59,719
that they rented it from was this guy who was

850
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,440
just known to be this total con man that they

851
00:43:02,519 --> 00:43:05,440
rented the boat from. It's Catmarana. Believe he knew these

852
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,159
boats were pieces of crap. He had a little like

853
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,199
little language in his little contract that said, if you

854
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,360
become stranded out on the water, I will come, because

855
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,000
he would rent the boats for like ten bucks or something. Right, right,

856
00:43:16,159 --> 00:43:18,519
he goes, I will, I will come and rescue you

857
00:43:18,639 --> 00:43:22,239
for thirty five dollars, thirty five dollars, right, like, yeah,

858
00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:24,519
thirty five dollars to come and rescue you from the

859
00:43:24,559 --> 00:43:26,760
piece of crap boat that I gave you. So they

860
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,119
get out there on this boat in the middle of

861
00:43:29,159 --> 00:43:32,960
the ocean, and it starts to fall apart on them,

862
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,239
and they're getting it like the current is strong and

863
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,440
they're getting pulled out to see like they don't know

864
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,719
what to do. They're hammered, drunk, the boat's falling apart,

865
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,199
the tide is pulling them out, and they're struggling for

866
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,239
a long time like they are swimming around trying to

867
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,559
figure out can't get it figured out. And then this

868
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,920
ghost ship shows up helps them basically get it back together,

869
00:43:53,079 --> 00:43:55,239
get back on board the boat, and get the boat

870
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,599
going back towards land again. And then just disappears as

871
00:43:59,639 --> 00:44:03,119
though it had never been there before. Wow, yeah, that

872
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:08,320
sounds cool. Yeah, game, I want to try maybe right right?

873
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,800
You know, I did some in my research.

874
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,079
Speaker 4: I read through Billboard. He met Jerry Jeff Walker. Oh yeah, yeah,

875
00:44:16,199 --> 00:44:19,000
Jerry Jeff Walker was the guy responsible for the song

876
00:44:19,079 --> 00:44:20,800
mister bo Jangles love that song?

877
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yep.

878
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 4: So they become friends. Jimmy struggling, uh huh. And Murphy,

879
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,039
who is Jerry Jeff Walker's girlfriend, says hey, let's take

880
00:44:29,079 --> 00:44:32,440
Jimmy down to Key West for the weekend. That changes

881
00:44:33,079 --> 00:44:36,599
his life, his direction, his career, everything.

882
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 3: In all likelihood, Jerry Jeff Walker and Murphy were probably

883
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,000
two of the people involved in this little race. Right

884
00:44:43,559 --> 00:44:44,000
by the way.

885
00:44:44,039 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 4: The first thing he did when he got to Key

886
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,000
West he went to Mallory Square. Okay, this happens every

887
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:51,280
night in Key West, every night every night. Okay, people

888
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,280
go there and they watch the sunset.

889
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,679
Speaker 3: Oh it's beautiful. Right. I have been to Key West

890
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,679
once and that was the most memorable thing of the

891
00:44:57,679 --> 00:45:01,159
whole trip was the was the setting sign. Yes, incredible.

892
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 4: He's looking at the sun set and think this is

893
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:04,679
my home.

894
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:09,079
Speaker 3: And he literally struggled for years just a guy playing

895
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,840
a guitar in a bar. When he offered to play,

896
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,519
they're like, nah, I'm good, and he's like, come on,

897
00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:18,840
I will play for tips and drinks and that'd be fine.

898
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,800
And then he played for a couple of months and

899
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,159
they're like, it'll be cheaper to pay you than to

900
00:45:24,159 --> 00:45:25,880
give you all the drinks that you drink every night.

901
00:45:26,079 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 4: Right, all right, next time, let's do it. Why don't

902
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:31,960
we get drunk and screw.

903
00:45:45,559 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 2: I really appreciate it.

904
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,159
Speaker 7: Back you sitting here.

905
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,039
Speaker 3: This is the most country of country that you're gonna

906
00:45:58,039 --> 00:46:01,960
get from Jimmy Buffett because he was making fun of them.

907
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,559
Oh that that steel guitar and the violin and that

908
00:46:06,639 --> 00:46:10,280
blinkly honky tonk piano. That is all tongue in cheek

909
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:15,239
because in Nashville he would see these guys and women

910
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:20,400
getting absolutely inebriated, hitting on each other, and he's like,

911
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,719
why don't you just say it, Let's just get drunk

912
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,800
and screw. And so he and his friend Buzz Cason

913
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,679
wrote this song together. Right, I got something I think

914
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,320
is about to I'm about to blow your mind here,

915
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,679
right all right, So you know they're making fun of

916
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,000
the country music scene, right. But Buzz Cason was a

917
00:46:38,039 --> 00:46:39,760
guy that was a good friend of Jimmy's and he

918
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,360
was a writer, and they wrote this song together hanging

919
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,840
out like good friends do. But Buzz Cason has also

920
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:51,360
written several books and even a kid's book called Hoot

921
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,000
that they made a movie out of. I think one

922
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,440
like one of those Newberry Awards or something like that.

923
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 2: Interesting.

924
00:46:56,079 --> 00:47:00,039
Speaker 3: But his most famous work is a book about a

925
00:47:00,039 --> 00:47:05,000
a girl who goes and starts a life as a stripper,

926
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,559
that they made a movie of, starring Burt Reynolds and

927
00:47:09,639 --> 00:47:13,840
Demmy Moore. Strip tease, you got it. The guy who

928
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,119
wrote strip teas wrote why don't we get drunk? And screw.

929
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 2: Don't we get drunk again?

930
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:44,039
Speaker 3: Just Wow, you're blowing my socks off. I thought I

931
00:47:44,119 --> 00:47:46,639
might low your socks off with that particular piece of information.

932
00:47:46,679 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 4: I don't want to tease this up too early, but

933
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,440
maybe next season we do show girls versus strip Tease.

934
00:47:51,519 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 3: We have been talking about it. It's been suggested, and

935
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,239
we are both on board. Just do it. If we gotta,

936
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,519
we gotta do it, we gotta do it. I'll watch it,

937
00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:03,079
you know, I'll watch it again. Although vowing I would

938
00:48:03,079 --> 00:48:03,679
never watch it.

939
00:48:05,159 --> 00:48:07,639
Speaker 4: All right, So the interesting thing to me about this song,

940
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,280
I mean it's kind of like, uh, do you remember

941
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,119
Great White? When we talked about Great White, we talked

942
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:16,000
about Wasted rock Ranger, just kind of just that kind

943
00:48:16,039 --> 00:48:16,800
of throwaway song.

944
00:48:17,519 --> 00:48:19,039
Speaker 3: But it didn't even make it on the album, right,

945
00:48:19,079 --> 00:48:20,639
that was like a B side. It did not.

946
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 4: This was on the b side to a song that

947
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,519
wasn't a hit, But when jukebox owners had it on

948
00:48:27,559 --> 00:48:31,079
their juke box, it became a played song so much

949
00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:34,199
so the juke box owners would buy this record a lot. Yeah,

950
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:35,679
so it became a juke box hit.

951
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 3: Essentially. I can see being at the bar playing this

952
00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:40,159
song once you've been talking to a girl for a

953
00:48:40,199 --> 00:48:42,400
minute and coming back and see how she reacts to

954
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:43,480
the music.

955
00:48:43,519 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 4: It's on the honey, I'm gonna go play this song.

956
00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:49,079
Speaker 3: Fun song. I love it.

957
00:48:49,199 --> 00:48:51,679
Speaker 4: I kind of want to spike the football in this one. Yeah,

958
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,880
although I'm gonna stick with Margaritaville. This is a lot

959
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:55,280
of fun.

960
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 3: It is a lot of fun. It's it's it's the

961
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:02,000
most memorable I would say, just because of incredibly tasteless

962
00:49:02,159 --> 00:49:03,199
but wonderful title.

963
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 4: Yes, my buddy Bomber would sing this all the time

964
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:06,599
in the locker room.

965
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:08,119
Speaker 3: All right.

966
00:49:08,199 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 4: Next song on the album is a song called Pizzel

967
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:16,119
Thin Mustache.

968
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,159
Speaker 11: Now they're making movies and all black and white the

969
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,760
happy end and went overbody in the final So if

970
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,159
you find yourself and then studs a great how did

971
00:49:30,159 --> 00:49:33,280

972
00:49:34,639 --> 00:49:36,559
Speaker 3: Did you ever have a not a graph picture of

973
00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:41,360
any divine No? I did not, Okay. So number one

974
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,719
first thing I say is I love the song. It's

975
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,119
one of my favorites. I've loved it since the first

976
00:49:46,159 --> 00:49:48,000
time I heard The first time I heard it on

977
00:49:48,039 --> 00:49:49,800
the tape, I was just like I had to rewind

978
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,679
it kind of vaudeville it. Well, I'm gonna play something

979
00:49:52,679 --> 00:49:55,119
for you. You tell me if it sounds it sounds familiar.

980
00:49:54,760 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, So that's Alice's Restaurant.

981
00:50:19,639 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 3: Yes, So that's I mean, it's to me basically spot

982
00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:27,639
on exactly the chord progression and picking pattern very high.

983
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,840
Alice's Restaurant, which is came out in sixty seven. Arlogethrie

984
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,760
released that in sixty seven, so well before Jimmy wrote

985
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,239
a pencil than Mustache.

986
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,639
Speaker 11: That's flat top dirt it bot convent.

987
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 10: On the living room, job to come and trying to

988
00:50:48,559 --> 00:50:49,719
gain a little time.

989
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 5: It's all you want to do is learn how to score.

990
00:50:53,679 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 11: You Now, I'm getting old, don't wear underwear, I don't.

991
00:50:58,559 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 3: Go to church.

992
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 4: And he obviously made it his own, right, Yeah, so

993
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,519
I found it interesting. I wrote down sort of the

994
00:51:05,559 --> 00:51:08,239
references he makes in this song. Okay, yeah, these are

995
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,440
all about like his childhood in the fifties.

996
00:51:10,559 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 3: Yeah he is. He starts off the song basically saying,

997
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,039
if you're unhappy with the way movies are, right now,

998
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,880
jump on board for the nostalgia train, which is our motto.

999
00:51:20,199 --> 00:51:22,480
Goodness gracious, Yeah, there we go. What we do, pick's

1000
00:51:22,519 --> 00:51:24,039
what we do? Yeah, all right.

1001
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,039
Speaker 4: So he mentions Boston Blackie, which is a fictional crook,

1002
00:51:28,599 --> 00:51:32,880
a pirate from an old TV show Ricky Ricardo, which hey,

1003
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:38,119
Lucy had got something, yeah from Ilo, Lucy uh Andy Devine,

1004
00:51:38,119 --> 00:51:38,920
which you talked about.

1005
00:51:39,519 --> 00:51:43,079
Speaker 3: I was always kind of partial to Roy Rogers. Actually, right.

1006
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, Sky's niece Penny. Okay, that's from a TV show

1007
00:51:47,039 --> 00:51:47,880
called Sky King.

1008
00:51:48,079 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't remember that one.

1009
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 4: The niece was played by Gloria Winters. Okay, he mentions Bandstand,

1010
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,519
which of course is American bandstand, right, Disneyland, Romar of

1011
00:51:58,559 --> 00:52:01,079
the Jungle, which is a fifties TV show, Errol Flynn

1012
00:52:01,199 --> 00:52:03,079
you talked about we were going to talk about him.

1013
00:52:03,159 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 3: The suave of Errol Flynn and the chikh of a

1014
00:52:06,119 --> 00:52:07,639
rabbi and Arabi.

1015
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,760
Speaker 4: And then Real Cream, which is a hairstyle product.

1016
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:16,159
Speaker 3: A little dabble, do you how about that? Yep? Okay?

1017
00:52:16,199 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 4: D So this is the third single from his fourth album,

1018
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:20,639
Living and Dying in three Quarters Time.

1019
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,039
Speaker 3: Okay, So I got a story about the album. So

1020
00:52:23,039 --> 00:52:25,880
they just goten finished recording God's Own Drunk. They're very

1021
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,039
happy that this. You know that the album is almost

1022
00:52:29,079 --> 00:52:33,400
done right right, And so he and Sammy Criesen and

1023
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,400
Chuck Nice, who are both musicians, uh, decide, hey, let's

1024
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,760
go get a bottle of Cuervo gold and three straws,

1025
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,119
and they both just they all just down, which is

1026
00:52:45,199 --> 00:52:47,760
never a good idea, no matter how experienced you are

1027
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,119
as a drinker. And so Jimmy says, within fifteen minutes

1028
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:56,519
we were knee crawling drunk. And so what they decided

1029
00:52:56,559 --> 00:52:58,719
to do, because of their musicians, is they went to

1030
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,119
the flashiest place in town, which was the King of

1031
00:53:01,159 --> 00:53:04,920
the Road Hotel, and there's a place set up for

1032
00:53:05,039 --> 00:53:07,559
the music of the night. And so they got up

1033
00:53:07,599 --> 00:53:12,039
on stage themselves and Sammy pounded out three quarter time

1034
00:53:12,119 --> 00:53:14,840
music on the drums, and Jimmy was so drunk that

1035
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,800
he couldn't even hit the chords on the guitar. So

1036
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,679
then they got what he described as the scream and munchies.

1037
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,480
They decided to go get something to eat. When they

1038
00:53:24,519 --> 00:53:27,599
go outside, he can't find his rental car. I told

1039
00:53:27,639 --> 00:53:30,280
you can't find stuff he loses, including cars all the time.

1040
00:53:30,679 --> 00:53:33,039
He's lost his car, and so he and Sammy are

1041
00:53:33,119 --> 00:53:35,320
trying to find it, and he's walking around in these

1042
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,840
golf shoes. Jimmy's in these golf shoes raw ras, but

1043
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:40,639
he doesn't have the spikes in them, but they still

1044
00:53:40,639 --> 00:53:43,000
got those hard things, you know. He sounds like tap

1045
00:53:43,079 --> 00:53:46,239
dancer walking around, right, But he's looking for his car

1046
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,679
with all these big ol' honkin good old boy trucks around,

1047
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,920
and so he decides, I'll just climb up on top

1048
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,599
of this Cadillac and see if I can see it

1049
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,960
from above, you know. So he's on the hood of

1050
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,400
the Cadillac with these golf shoes and he he hears

1051
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,400
his voice behind him say get down, boy, you're under arrest,

1052
00:54:05,559 --> 00:54:09,719
and he says, you know I ain't. And he runs

1053
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,440
and finds Sammy, who's found the Grimlin, and Sammy's in

1054
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,559
the driver's seat and he gets in and Jimmy's window

1055
00:54:15,599 --> 00:54:20,119
is closed, but Sammy's window is open, and this big

1056
00:54:20,159 --> 00:54:22,400
old boy voice comes and he's like, you better get

1057
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:30,119
out of that car, and Jimmy's que I'll kick your ass.

1058
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,199
And so this is nineteen seventy four. We are at

1059
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,159
the top of technology. This Grimlin would not start unless

1060
00:54:36,159 --> 00:54:41,119
you had the seat belts buckled. And they're so drunk

1061
00:54:41,159 --> 00:54:43,559
that they can't find the seat belts and get them buckled.

1062
00:54:43,599 --> 00:54:46,119
And this guy's in there trying to get them, and

1063
00:54:46,199 --> 00:54:51,800
so he's like, he's like you, I'll kick your ass.

1064
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,079
And the guy reaches in and grabs the back of

1065
00:54:56,159 --> 00:54:59,360
his his head with by the hair and yanks it

1066
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,519
out like he looked like he looked like a monk

1067
00:55:03,639 --> 00:55:07,840
pulled out a bunch of blonde hair. And so Sammy

1068
00:55:08,119 --> 00:55:10,920
as he's grabbing his hair, Sammy's doing anything he can.

1069
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,320
He grabs a ballpoint.

1070
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 2: Pin and he starts stabbing.

1071
00:55:14,639 --> 00:55:18,119
Speaker 3: I've in this guy's arm and so finally he gets

1072
00:55:18,159 --> 00:55:21,559
the car started. They get out of there and they're thinking, okay,

1073
00:55:21,559 --> 00:55:23,760
well we made it out of that mess. Well, at

1074
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,679
the time that they're out there doing this stuff, there

1075
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,519
was some prosecutor's convention going on and this guy was

1076
00:55:28,599 --> 00:55:32,400
actually a legit law enforcement And after they've been gone

1077
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,840
a bit, they're like, this dude's probably still looking for us,

1078
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:36,639
and we got to go back and get our stuff.

1079
00:55:37,119 --> 00:55:40,559
So they go to the hotel room they managed to

1080
00:55:40,599 --> 00:55:43,559
make it through. They think, okay, before we go in,

1081
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,679
we got to get something to protect ourselves because this

1082
00:55:45,679 --> 00:55:47,559
guy might be hiding in the bushes or swimming in

1083
00:55:47,559 --> 00:55:50,519
the pool. We're just ready to grab us. So they

1084
00:55:50,599 --> 00:55:52,519
grab a tire iron out of the back of the Grimlin.

1085
00:55:52,679 --> 00:55:55,800
So they walk through amongst all of these law enforcement

1086
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,320
guys who are there for this convention, and they get

1087
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:03,519
up to their room and he's lost the keys. So

1088
00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:07,800
Sammy says, you got us in this, you're gonna have

1089
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:11,199
to get us out, and so he's like okay, So

1090
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,400
he takes the tire iron, puts it in his back pocket,

1091
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,079
goes back down, goes to the desk clerk and he's like,

1092
00:56:16,639 --> 00:56:19,320
I need the keys to you know, eight twelve or

1093
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,480
whatever his room number is. And all of a sudden,

1094
00:56:21,519 --> 00:56:24,280
this old boy pulls the tire iron out of his

1095
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:28,199
back pocket and he whips around and he's like, hey,

1096
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,880
I was bringing that for you for my protection.

1097
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 2: You can't give me that back.

1098
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 3: And the guy and the old boy's like, no, I

1099
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,079
ain't gonna do. He's like, fuck you, I'll still kick

1100
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:39,760
your ass. And all of a sudden, these two detectives

1101
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,079
grab him and pull him and they pull him into

1102
00:56:42,119 --> 00:56:45,480
the elevator and the two detections are like, normally we

1103
00:56:45,599 --> 00:56:48,039
be arresting you right now, but right now we figure

1104
00:56:48,079 --> 00:56:50,440
you're just lucky to be alive. Do you know who

1105
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,840
that was? And he's like no, and they said that

1106
00:56:54,079 --> 00:57:00,400
was Beauford Pusser and he goes eighth floor. Please, So

1107
00:57:00,519 --> 00:57:03,599
if you don't know who Buford Pusser is, he was

1108
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,639
one of the at the time the youngest elected chair

1109
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:10,719
former professional wrestler who became one of the youngest elected

1110
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:15,800
sheriffs who then like set out to end the Dixieland

1111
00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:19,679
Mafia and the State Line mob and like they put

1112
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,960
hits out of him. He literally killed his wife as

1113
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,679
he was driving along with her, shot at him, killed her,

1114
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,280
like hit his jaw. He had to have multiple shirt

1115
00:57:28,559 --> 00:57:31,400
surgeries to get it corrected. He killed a few folks.

1116
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,760
And if if you think that, I'm just you know,

1117
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,719
like this is no big deal. They made a movie

1118
00:57:36,719 --> 00:57:41,480

1129
00:58:41,639 --> 00:58:43,519
Speaker 4: During the days, he would play at this place called

1130
00:58:43,639 --> 00:58:45,800
Howie's Lounge Bar, and at night.

1131
00:58:45,679 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 3: He would work a fishing boat.

1132
00:58:47,679 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 4: But he would meet these girls on the Conk tour train,

1133
00:58:50,039 --> 00:58:53,320
which is a prominent way of seeing Key West. And

1134
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,760
so he'd meet these girls and he would they would

1135
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,280
give them purple passion that was mixed in a jug,

1136
00:58:58,920 --> 00:58:59,920
and these girls would.

1137
00:58:59,679 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 3: Be like, oh, this is great. You can't even taste

1138
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:02,679
the alcohol.

1139
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 4: And he's like, we know, but he would take him

1140
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:10,519
to the Islander Drive in uh huh. And this particular

1141
00:59:10,599 --> 00:59:13,360
song was written on a night that he saw the

1155
01:00:06,559 --> 01:00:10,519
in February. So yeah, so this is It's tough. It's

1156
01:00:10,599 --> 01:00:13,400
tough call on this one because in seventy eight and

1157
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,920
seventy nine, which is around this time the time this

1158
01:00:16,039 --> 01:00:20,880
was written, Boston had one of the worst snowstorms of

1159
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,599
all time, like a Lizard of seventy eight, which I

1160
01:00:23,599 --> 01:00:26,239
think they're like twenty one inches of snow. And then

1161
01:00:26,239 --> 01:00:29,039
in seventy nine they had like the coldest temperatures ever

1162
01:00:29,119 --> 01:00:32,440
recorded in history there, and I think Jimmy got stuck

1163
01:00:32,519 --> 01:00:35,519
up there and had to watch hockey, which nobody cares.

1164
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 4: Stuck in Boston, all you can do is watch hockey

1165
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:40,679
and think about home.

1166
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:41,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1167
01:00:41,519 --> 01:00:43,719
Speaker 4: Right, he was just dying to get home. He was

1168
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:44,800
freezing his butt off.

1169
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said.

1170
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 4: He came out and he's been at a bar. Derek

1171
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,960
Sanderson used to play for the Boston Bruins. He was

1172
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,280
at his his bar, came outside, couldn't find a cab.

1173
01:00:55,079 --> 01:00:57,719
The only cab around was this one right here that's

1174
01:00:58,039 --> 01:01:00,719
got the keys in it and is running, but there's

1175
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:01,360
nobody in it.

1176
01:01:01,559 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

1177
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 4: And so he's like, huh, well, it's better to ask

1178
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:06,280
forgiveness than best permission.

1179
01:01:07,039 --> 01:01:09,119
Speaker 3: Jumped in that cab, drove it to his hotel.

1180
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 4: He said, I may have did a bad thing, but

1181
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:20,559
I did leave the fair in the seat right.

1182
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 3: I did see where he played this.

1183
01:01:24,039 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 4: He had an album live at Fenway Park, and he said,

1184
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,400
I cannot come to Boston and not play this song.

1185
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:32,199
Speaker 3: The song was written in Boston.

1186
01:01:32,199 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 4: It's written about Boston and a friend of the show,

1187
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:35,519
Doug Huggin.

1188
01:01:35,599 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 3: He my old college roommate.

1189
01:01:37,119 --> 01:01:39,679
Speaker 4: He's from the Boston area, and he took me to

1190
01:01:39,719 --> 01:01:42,280
Boston in February a couple of years ago, and.

1191
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 3: It was cold twenty degrees. It was freaking freezing. You

1192
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:47,920
see some holes in your freezer.

1193
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,559
Speaker 4: It made me think about broad drinks, that's for sure. Yeah, okay,

1194
01:01:52,639 --> 01:01:55,199
last song on the album. This song is called Volcano.

1195
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:14,119
Speaker 10: Now a don't no, don't don't, I don't know.

1196
01:02:14,679 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go in the vom Let me say, okay,

1197
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,760
I love this one. This is definitively He has a

1198
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:25,320
quote at the beginning of his book, and I can't

1199
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,320
remember precisely what it is, but it's basically, it's like,

1200
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,400
you can't have fun unless you take some risks. And

1201
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:35,280
so here they are. They're in Manserrat and they're recording

1202
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,960
an album. They're in this beautiful Caribbean island, beautiful women,

1203
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:44,760
beautiful beaches, beautiful water. Everything's awesome. But over your shoulder

1204
01:02:45,039 --> 01:02:49,480
there's a volcano just waiting to erupt. You know.

1205
01:02:49,559 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 4: We talked about this in our Dire Straits episode. So

1206
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,760
this is at the ai R Studios owned by George Martin,

1207
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,760
the guy who was the producer for the Beatles. Yeah,

1208
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,320
and you had all these wonderful albums that were made there,

1209
01:02:59,639 --> 01:03:05,000
include Volcano by Jimmy Buffett, Brothers in Arms, Synchronicity, Ghost

1210
01:03:05,039 --> 01:03:07,960
in the Machine, Steel Wheels by the Rolling Stones was

1211
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,159
made there. Elton John recorded an album there. It was

1212
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,719
quite the place until one day when the volcano did blow.

1213
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course that was it blew And was it

1214
01:03:17,639 --> 01:03:21,280
ninety five, ninety four, ninety five, Yeah, something like that.

1215
01:03:21,559 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 4: And so but that was after the Hurricane Hugo I

1216
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,039
think just wiped out the.

1217
01:03:26,039 --> 01:03:29,679
Speaker 3: Air, right. Yeah, it sealed the deal for him, right yep.

1218
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:33,440
And so because you said after the hurricane, maybe it

1219
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,360
was George Martin said that there were eleven or the

1220
01:03:36,519 --> 01:03:41,119
twelve thousand people on the island and after that her hurricane,

1221
01:03:41,199 --> 01:03:43,880
eleven thousand of them are homeless, lost their homes. Yeah,

1222
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,280
but then the volcano came around after that. But this

1223
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,760
was this was written in seventy nine, so this is

1224
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,800
fifteen years before that happened. Sixteen years before that happened.

1225
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:57,880
So prophetic It is happy little song about something that

1226
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,360
actually eventually came to freeuition.

1227
01:04:00,559 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 4: I mean, the song is about what's going to happen

1228
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:04,239
to me when the volcano blows?

1229
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 3: Where will I land? Right?

1230
01:04:06,199 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 4: Talked about landing at three Mile Island. I don't want

1231
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:11,719
to land there because I don't want my skin to glow.

1232
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,280
Very nineteen seventy nine, Three Mile Island.

1233
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:14,639
Speaker 1: Sure.

1234
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 4: It also talked about the Atola Very nineteen seventy nine. Yeah,

1235
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,159
But overall the song is just super fun.

1236
01:04:22,519 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the beat, the Caribbean feel to the whole thing.

1237
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:30,440
It's very calypso very you know, steel drums, Yeah, like

1238
01:04:30,559 --> 01:04:34,320
a Harry Belafonte style of music. And it just which

1239
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:38,719
is great because you're talking about your ultimate imminent doom

1240
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,880
in a happy way, which is the way they did

1241
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:42,960
it down there. I still love it.

1242
01:04:43,079 --> 01:04:44,559
Speaker 4: I'm going to tell this story again because I think

1243
01:04:44,559 --> 01:04:46,599
it's such a great story. But Elton John was down

1244
01:04:46,639 --> 01:04:50,119
there recording and the only thing to really do down

1245
01:04:50,159 --> 01:04:53,880
there was windsurf and drink, you know, and it screw.

1246
01:04:55,519 --> 01:04:55,719
Speaker 3: Sure.

1247
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 4: But he said, like one day he went into the

1248
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:01,440
studio and like half of his band was hungover and

1249
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,800
could come in and the studio, musicians were sick and

1250
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,239
everybody had been partying way too much, and Elton John's like,

1251
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,400
what the heck, We're here to make an album.

1252
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:11,719
Speaker 3: Nobody's here. What the heck?

1253
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,559
Speaker 4: And one guy like the third bassist is over here,

1254
01:05:15,559 --> 01:05:19,960
and he goes, I'm still standing and that became the

1255
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,599
beginning of the Elton John hit I'm still standing, all right?

1256
01:05:23,719 --> 01:05:25,440
So that does it for songs you know by heart?

1257
01:05:25,519 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, So before we jump into what Jason and

1258
01:05:29,519 --> 01:05:32,719
I have to say, we have a friend who had

1259
01:05:32,719 --> 01:05:35,079
a podcast. It's still out there, but he has moved

1260
01:05:35,119 --> 01:05:38,360
strictly to YouTube now. His name's Anthony Renfro and it's

1261
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,760
called song Lines and tan Lines. I got that right,

1262
01:05:42,079 --> 01:05:44,760
that it is called tan Lines and song Lines. You

1263
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,880
put in whichever one's right, okay. But it is a

1264
01:05:48,199 --> 01:05:52,880
podcast now YouTube channel dedicated to the music of Jimmy Buffett,

1265
01:05:53,039 --> 01:05:54,760
and so I reached out to him, hoped that he

1266
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:56,800
was going to be able to come guest hosts with us,

1267
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:58,719
but we just couldn't make our schedules work. But that

1268
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,559
is okay, that's what happens with schedules. But he is

1269
01:06:01,679 --> 01:06:05,440
giving us his opinion on which of these two albums

1270
01:06:05,679 --> 01:06:07,760
he thinks is the best album, so we'll take a

1271
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,280
listen to that now. It's hard to argue against either

1272
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,559
one of them. Both would be a great intro to

1273
01:06:12,639 --> 01:06:15,960
either artist, and the songs in them have filled many

1274
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,199
stereos throughout the years, and picking between the two is

1275
01:06:19,239 --> 01:06:22,679
tough because of the songs found on either compilation career

1276
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:27,559
defining songs. Margueriteville even built an empire most and I

1277
01:06:27,639 --> 01:06:30,920
understand why would pick the Eagles, But when Buffett is

1278
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:34,760
in the conversation, I always lean towards him and I

1279
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,400
will here too. Songs You Know by Heart was one

1280
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,800
of the cornerstones of me becoming a parrotead in the

1281
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,119
early nineties. Without it, I wouldn't be the fan I

1282
01:06:42,159 --> 01:06:45,880
am today. Come Monday was his first hit. Margueritaville will

1283
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,000
be played as long as there is music on this earth.

1284
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,760
A Pirate looks at forty always takes me to the

1285
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,679
beach mentally, no matter where I am, and changes in

1286
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,760
latitude will always remind me of the great places I

1287
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:01,159
have been, and on and on it goes. That's my pick,

1288
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,519
of course. Thanks for asking me to do this. Finds

1289
01:07:04,599 --> 01:07:09,960
up Anthony, Well, not too surprising, not too surprising.

1290
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 4: Thank you Anthony for doing that and getting this to us.

1291
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,760
I mean, it's not surprising that a parent head chose

1292
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,960
Jimmy Buffett, but still great to hear from him.

1293
01:07:18,079 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 3: Exactly. Thanks Anthony, Appreciate you man. You guys go check

1294
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,920
out that song lines and tan Lines. He's exclusively on

1295
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,559
YouTube now, but he's got a whole i think library

1296
01:07:26,639 --> 01:07:29,639
of podcasts to listen to, so go check him out.

1297
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,400
All right, well, okay, that means it's now time for

1298
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,320
me and you. Thank you, Anthony, appreciate you. You want

1299
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,440
me to go first, you want to go first, I'll

1300
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,480
let you go first this time. Okay. Now, I've mentioned

1301
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,599
this matchup to a few people, some of them are

1302
01:07:42,679 --> 01:07:48,119
our diehard fans, and everybody says the same thing, and

1303
01:07:48,159 --> 01:07:50,599
this is true. The Eagles have the better album. That's

1304
01:07:50,639 --> 01:07:54,679
just it's unquestionable that the music on the greatest hits,

1305
01:07:54,679 --> 01:07:56,599
I mean number one. We're talking about greatest hits here, right,

1306
01:07:56,719 --> 01:08:01,280
So the music of one of the best in history,

1307
01:08:01,559 --> 01:08:05,039
literally number six on best selling bands in history, They've

1308
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:07,280
got a better album. It just do That's simple. It's

1309
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,880
that easy. That's the end of the story. They have

1310
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:16,319
better music, except it's not always about the music. Sometimes

1311
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:21,399
it's about something more. And so, yeah, are Jimmy Buffett's

1312
01:08:21,399 --> 01:08:26,680
songs musically complex? No? No, Is there you know, some deep,

1313
01:08:27,119 --> 01:08:32,920
incredible songwriting going on here? Yes? Is there also some silly, crazy, goofy,

1314
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,880
messed up stuff going on here?

1315
01:08:36,159 --> 01:08:36,399
Speaker 2: Yes?

1316
01:08:37,079 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 3: And that's why you love this music, because this music

1317
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:46,119
isn't necessarily about the music. It's certainly about the lyrics,

1318
01:08:46,199 --> 01:08:50,640
but it's really about the lifestyle. Right. And so if

1319
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,560
I'm sitting alone at my house and I want to

1320
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,119
listen to music for music's value, I will put on

1321
01:08:56,159 --> 01:08:59,439
the Eagle's greatest hits, no question about it. But at

1322
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:01,439
the end of the day, the question that we ask

1323
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,199
ourselves if we're running out the door, which album are

1324
01:09:04,199 --> 01:09:07,239
we going to grab? I can't deny the feeling that

1325
01:09:07,319 --> 01:09:10,159
I get when I listen to songs you know by heart,

1326
01:09:11,039 --> 01:09:13,119
and it changes me in a way that the Eagles

1327
01:09:13,119 --> 01:09:15,239
don't change me. I can say that the music is

1328
01:09:15,279 --> 01:09:20,920
better by the Eagles, but this lifestyle that he created

1329
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:26,279
and publicized and demonstrated is more impactful to me. And

1330
01:09:26,319 --> 01:09:29,640
so that is why I am picking Jimmy Buffett songs.

1331
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:32,279
You know by Heart, how.

1332
01:09:32,119 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 4: About that fantastic? Okay, Well, I literally was with you

1333
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,520
every step of the way. So I do think it

1334
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,239
is kind of a no brainer that the Eagles songs

1335
01:09:43,319 --> 01:09:46,199
are better. I mean, Desperado still gives me chills. I've

1336
01:09:46,199 --> 01:09:49,399
heard it a thousand times one of these nights. Lion

1337
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:52,520
Eyes take it easy. I mean, such great songs, take it.

1338
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:54,680
Speaker 3: To the limit, Are you kidding me? Incredible?

1339
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 4: The songs are amazing off that album, and the musician's

1340
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:03,000
ship is off the chart. Don Henley's voice is unmatched,

1341
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:09,239
absolutely awesome. But it is a lifestyle vibe that I

1342
01:10:09,279 --> 01:10:13,439
get from Jimmy Buffett's album, and so it pushes that

1343
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,720
pleasure button in my brain and I have so much

1344
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,319
fun that I listen to it.

1345
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 3: And I mean, I.

1346
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 4: Love Key West, and I love the idea of just

1347
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:27,399
hanging out and fishing all day long and just kicking

1348
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:29,920
back with your flip flops and just enjoying life. I mean,

1349
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:33,760
that is super appealing to me. But it can't overcome

1350
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:38,119
the amazing songs that the Eagles put together on those

1351
01:10:38,119 --> 01:10:41,039
first four albums. So if I'm walking out the door,

1352
01:10:41,399 --> 01:10:43,920
I'm absolutely grabbing the Eagle's greatest hits.

1353
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 3: But if you're invite me to Key West and go fishing,

1354
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,800
I will not turn you down right, And I love

1355
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,840
Jimmy Buffett' songs, So for me, it's Eagles greatest hits.

1356
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:56,479
For you, it's Jimmy Buffett. That's fantastic.

1357
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 4: We want to hear from you, guys. What do you pick?

1358
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:00,880
Are we crazy? Is it Eagles?

1359
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 3: Is it Jimmy Buffett? Should we move to Key West tomorrow? Well?

1360
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,079
