- Well, I first heard him back when Margaritaville first hit the charts. I was
- probably in the 8th grade about that time... and it was my favorite song.
- Right
- up there with Stevie "guitar" Miller's "Jet Airliner". And I also heard
- "Cheeseburger" when it hit the charts.
-
- But I really wasn't in to Buffett too much until the summer after I graduated
- highschool. I spent it down by Galveston, TX (I've lived most of my life in
- Missouri) and I listened to "Changes In Latitude" over and over and over and
- over..... I liked the honest, gut-level lyrics and delivery. The commentary
- on
- the human condition. All of it. A few years later (college) I was working in
- a
- used record store and listening to more and more Buffett and buying 'em when
- I could ($3.35 an hour 7 hours a week don't give you much $$ to buy albums
- with). I love Buffett's laid back outlook on life. Kinda matches mine, ya
- know?
