Jimmy Sues Six Flags

>From the New York Post: It Sure Bugs Buffett
http://www.nypost.com/seven/10012007/gossip/pagesix/it_sure_bugs_buffett.htm
DON'T mess with Jimmy Buffett and his "Parrotheads." The crooner is
going after Six Flags' 20 theme parks, including Great Adventure,
charging that its 10,000-member "Carrothead Club" for kids who are
fans of Bugs Bunny is a copyright infringement. But Six Flags rep
Wendy Goldberg told us: "I'm not sure how the concept of children in
foam carrot hats is going to be confused with significantly older
Hawaiian shirt-wearing, margarita-swilling Parrotheads. Clearly
imitation wasn't what we had in mind!" She says there are no plans to
discontinue the club.

A trailer for the Sun Dogs movie is now available. There's a brief
clip of Jimmy adding his commentary.
http://palmpictures.imeem.com/video/tNQnrK7c/sun_dogs_trailer/
SUN DOGS is a story of second chances. Rescued from the streets and
animal shelters of Kingston, Jamaica, twelve stray dogs are trained to
be the stars of Jamaica's first dog sled racing team. The crew,
spearheaded by pop superstar Jimmy Buffett, brings the unlikely
meeting of a traditionally snow-bound sport to the sand and surf. But
it is not just the dogs that are given a second chance. The team's dog
mushers are given the opportunity of a lifetime as they cultivate
their love of animals while receiving an education and traveling the
world. Special Features on the DVD include four mini-documentaries:
"Jimmy Buffett and the Jamaica Dog Sled Team" - exclusive footage of
Jimmy Buffett; "How to Teach Your Dog to Pull in Harness;" "The
Jamaica Dogsled Team Taking on the World;" "The Work of the JSPCA;"
plus a "Dog-ography: Meet the Mutts."

Washington Post Article
September 30, 2007 7:33pm Submitted by: phjim
The Washington Post has an article "Return to Margaritaville".
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/25/AR2007092501973.html?referrer=emailarticle
The piece explains why people connect with Buffett's songs and lyrics,
and is not just another gratuitous article about Jimmy's ability to
create an atmosphere of escape. The editor's note on page 2 also
explains why he decided to go with the piece. (thanks to Scott E. for
passing that along to us).

Margaritaville Cayman on Probation

The Margaritaville Cayman restaurant along the waterfront in George
Town, Grand Cayman has been place on probation after hearing
complaints from a nearby church about drunkenness, littering and noise
pollution.

Buffett Honor Gilchirst - Flora-Bama owner
September 28, 2007 6:31am Submitted by: phjim
Alabama Live has an article "Buffett honors Gilchrist; benefit set for
Joiner"
http://www.al.com/entertainment/press-register/lspecker.ssf?/base/entertainment/1190885726246820.xml&coll=3
When Jimmy Buffett opened last year's "Take the Weather with You"
album with the song "Bama Breeze," an ode to a fondly remembered
coastal roadhouse, many took it as a thinly veiled tribute to the
famed Flora-Bama Lounge & Package on the Alabama-Florida state line.
But Buffett was more direct in tipping his hat last week during a
concert in New York City's Madison Square Garden. Flora-Bama owner Joe
Gilchrist was in the crowd, along with a small group of friends with
Gulf Coast ties, and Buffett singled both Gilchrist and the Flora-Bama
out by name as sources of inspiration.

Mentioned on Conan O'Brien
September 24, 2007 6:59am Submitted by: phjim
Buffett was mentioned on Late Night with Conan O'Brien: During a
speech, Jesse Jackson criticized Barack Obama and said Obama's been
acting like he's white. Yeah, Obama said Jackson's comments were
hurtful and they completely ruined his night at the Jimmy Buffett
concert.
