I must confess I barely knew of Jimmy Buffett.. I liked Margaritaville if that stands for anything. But barely remember this one!!
From the archives; Repeated in memory of Jimmy Buffett, who died on September 1.
1) In this song, Jimmy Buffett briefly attempts a healthier diet, which included sunflower seeds, carrot juice, zucchini and bulgur wheat. Do you pay attention to your daily consumption of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, etc.? I do not really pay the much attention to the integral components of foods. I have been on Weight Watchers for about 3 months and have lost about 32 pounds. I take multivitamins and other supplements to build up my immune system.
2) Jimmy sings that he'd like french fries with his burger. Do you prefer to dip your fries or drizzle the ketchup over them? I can't eat them these days, but I enjoyed dipping them in catsup!
3) Which cheese would make yours a cheeseburger in paradise: American, cheddar, Swiss, bleu, Muenster, or Monterrey Jack? Definitely, American, but these days I will eat a burger with melted Monterrey Jack on it. I ,also, love Monterrey Jack melted on a fresh tomato cooked in a microwave for about 45 seconds. Yum!
4) Buffett fans call themselves Parrotheads. Concert attire for a well-dressed Parrothead often includes a Hawaiian shirt and a foam fin hat. What will you be wearing tonight? With no where to do, probably my shorts and a baggy tee,, I have nothing of a Hawaiian style..
5) For someone with such an easygoing and laidback vibe, Jimmy is a very busy man. His business ventures include liquors, restaurants and hotels. He's also published eight books. All this in addition to making music! On a scale of 1 to 10 -- with 1 being lazy and 10 being highly motivated -- how would you rate yourself this morning?About an 8. I did fold some sheets and created a lovely page in my nature journal this morning. The birds were very active at the feeder and in the flowers!
6) Jimmy has some very famous fans. Paul McCartney asked him to play at one of his parties, and Barack Obama invited him to perform at a fundraiser. If you could invite anyone -- anyone at all! -- to play at your party, who would you ask?
Well, if he could bring the whole ensemble...
I love Dougie Maclean.. We heard him in concert in Asheville about 10 years ago! It was a thrill for me!!
7) Jimmy was born on Christmas Day. Does your birthday fall on a major holiday? If yes, do you mind "sharing" your special day? No, but I do have a summer birthday which made it fun.. so many options for celebrating!
8) In 1978, the year this song was popular, the Susan B. Anthony Dollar was first minted. The initial design was not a hit with the public because vending machines could not accept it. What's the last thing you bought from a vending machine?Probably bottle water.
9) Random question -- If today's your birthday, your zodiac sign is Virgo. When did you last check your horoscope?I do not do that, I enjoy the constellations, but do not dally in horoscopes!

It doesn't seem any of our Sat 9ers are big on horoscopes.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know that I am not the only one who is not that familiar with Jimmy Buffet! I guess he was just not my style and in the wrong era for me to enjoy his style of music. Gee, vending machine...I'm trying to think...maybe some crackers or something like that. I don't do horoscopes either, although I know I'm a Libra, born later in September. Not sure why September has two signs, Virgo and Libra. We must be a complicated group who were born in September, and had to have extra terrestrial help. LOL. I hope you have a lovely weekend. Oh, congratulations on your weight loss! Sounds like you are doing really well!! Keep up the good work!! That takes a lot of will power and perseverance, but it will pay off in the long run. Blessings to you...
