10 Years of Buffett News
*******************************************************

It's the 10th Anniversary of Buffett News, originally known as the
Feeding Frenzy Page. I started the website in July 1997 during the
Havana Daydreamin' Tour primarily to keep track of the set lists and
the Stumpo El Bando feature that Jimmy did during the tour. In
September 1997 news content was added to the site (keeps me busy on a
daily basis).

Watch a special 10th Anniversary slide show with some images from the
past BuffettNews.com home pages.

Margaritaville Became a Top Ten Single 30 Years Ago
July 20, 2007 6:36am Submitted by: phjim

Back in July 1977 "Margaritaville" peaked at number 8 on the Billboard
Pop Singles chart, and number 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. This
was Jimmy Buffett's only song to ever reach the top ten on the Pop or
Hot 100 chart.

Some other Buffett songs that made the top 40 on the Billboard Pop
Singles chart include "Come Monday" at number 30 in 1974,
"Cheeseburger in Paradise" reached 32 in 1978, "Fins" reached 35 in
1979, and "Change in Lattidues, Changes in Attitudes" reached 37 in
1977.

Jimmy calls Radio Margaritaville
July 12, 2007 6:17am Submitted by: phjim

Jimmy Buffett called Radio Margaritaville's program director/afternoon
DJ Steve Huntington from Highway 101, near Beullton, California, while
making a solo road trip to Santa Cruz, with surfboards on the roof and
his bike tied to the rear of his rented white VW van, was retracing
steps from his days working the clubs of the California coast.

He discussed getting a stand up paddle surfing lesson from surf god
Laird Hamilton in San Onofre, playing Tinley/Chicago with Sonny
Landreth who will be there for a blues festival. He talked about a
trip to Hawaii in October, and a trip "Down Under" presumably to
Australia, and discussed taking a video crew to the spot in Tahiti
where he wrote "One Particular Harbour".

20 Questions for Jimmy in Time Magazine

Do you think you will ever really retire? And if so, what will you do
then?
- David H in East Norriton, Penn.

There is the answer to your question. What would I do? As long as this
is fun and I am healthy, it's an amazing run. I go out for a show and
I have to pinch myself. Longevity is not something you get into
songwriting for. We are four decades into this and still going strong
and I am just eternally grateful, so leaving it would be very hard for
me. It is kind of like Joseph Campbell used to say: if you have found
your bliss, it is like a great old car. You don't want a new car, you
just want to paint the bumper, change the seat cover: you just want to
treat it well, not get a new car. That is how I feel about performing.
Retiring is not an option for me, because what else would I do? I have
plenty of time to go do the things I want to do now, but there is
still something very unique about getting on the stage, that very few
people get to do. And I am not quite ready to not do it.
