The Critic Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Hope he knows how to work the shuffleboard game at the home!! Although he's not really my cup of tea, I have seen him perform once ( the things we do.... ) and he was okay. I think I'd stick my head in the oven before I'd see Elton John perform, though...not for me AT ALL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I saw them a couple of years ago at all state arena and it was a great show. The only "old man" I have seen put on a better show was Paul McCartney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 BUFFET BLOWS I like when he got kicked out of the Miami Heat game for yelling at the referee from courtside. Musically he probably blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 All three of you... BITE ME! Just trying to save you the torture that is a Jimmy Buffet Concert. Imagine Wrigley Field with the fans singing stupid ass songs throughout the game..... not just the 7th Inning Stretch. You now have a Jimmy Buffet Concert. They're not there for the music, they're there because that's what they were told the cool 25 y/o + people will be hanging out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killa, that is the absolute BEST description of the Buffett Experience that I have ever heard. My wife went to his show once, and she told me that people were pissing and f***ing along the back wall of the Tweeter Center ( the World Music Theatre at that time ), right there in their Hawaiian Shirts, s***-faced drunk out of their minds. Now, these are not drug-addled young'uns at OzzFest doing this, no no NO - these are respectable pillars of society, and our community leaders as well! I may be approaching 40, but there's no way in hell I'll ever be caught dead at a Buffett show. I'm sorry, but I just don't get the appeal.
