I am not trying to be cute or clever. What is the reason that people flock to Jimmy Buffet shows and treat him as if he is some sort of hero? I admire anyone that can make money honestly but it just seems that his whole act is about Gilligans Island for drunks. The music is not quality, is it just about escapism or being goofy? I understand he is a zillionare wow only in America.

Yeahhh i don't understand either, but my cousin and his wife went to one of his shows and he even wore the hawaiian shirt.

I was just on his website to see if he is actually touring and his tickets for his Aspen, Co show are $250 and $600.
It has to be some rich person trying to relive his hippy days.
I had to laugh at your question because my friend always comments about who would listen to Jimmy Buffet.

I have a friend who goes to every buffet concert he can. He has flown up north several times this year, just to go to a concert. I think he has been 6 times this year alone.
I have no idea what he sees in him. He;s like a Buffet groupie.

His music and the whole concert experience are FUN. He makes you forget about the real world for a while and just live life. It is escapism at it's best!

He has a huge following. Fans call themselves Parrot Heads. He offers an escapist attitude. He is a shrewd business person who doesn't blow his money on drugs and toys.

Well,I suppose there are just people who are really big fans. (Remember the Grateful Dead and all the people who followed them?!) FYI: The people who follow Jimmy are often referred to as "Parrotheads"

You are right, but when you live in a northern climate, it is escapism. Especially in February when cabin fever is it it's peak.

He is popular, just like Neil Diamond. He makes them feel good and that is what matters
