Jimmy Buffett and Bill Richardson

[BobTheSubgenius]

1. I'll miss Jimmy the most, I'm afraid.

Larger than life, and cooler than the other side of the pillow. A telling little anecdote about Mr. Buffett from a doc I watched. I forget who was telling it, but I guess it doesn't matter. Whoever it was dropped by a gig JB had, VERY early in his career. A dive bar that was empty, save for JB, the bartender and a guy face down on his table.

And there was Jimmy Buffett, singing and playing his heart out, as if it was a packed theater (thinking of you, Fox Theater in Atlanta), and the story teller asked him why he was trying so hard for an audience who might as well have been a cast concrete garden gnome. JM told him that every audience deserved the best he had to give.

And, apropos of nothing except the impression your sig line made...I also miss Molly like crazy. My favourite quote from her was about George W, who she described as "not exactly bent double with intellect." Who else could have delivered that?
