LOOK....UP IN THE SKY......ITS A BIRD........ITS A PLANE......NO, ITS THE "ANTI-BUFFETT"!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, its HIM...landing in the salad table and leaping thru space to destroy the tough pseudo-meats and overcooked veggies before completely obliterating the bizarro dessert bar! No more stringy beef and greasy chicken!!! No more green bean stems with fakin' bacon!!! The rotten bananas and donuts in instant pudding are no more!!!

Thank you Anti-Man!!!!!!!!

Spaw -- what have you done, exactly, from the time Greg's license to communicate was reinstated and the time you posted the above exuberance? Drugs, alcohol, medicine, spirit rites, breathing into brown paper bags, new positions, what?

I am the anti-buffett. I defile his image at every opportunity. I desecrate his music by creating parodies. I will transport his soul to Hell. Let him or her who thinks foul of me bear my wrath. Coconuts for brains ye are.

Well, I think "Margaritaville" qualifies as a genuine folksong. DUnno about the one about Cheeseburgers though. Can there be a folksong about choilesterol? Naaahhh

Never knew who the Anti-Buffett was before. Guess I should go to BBC's pix and see if there's one of Chet W. Need to know what he should look like in the shrine I'm going to build in the basement.

But you notice how food and drink keep popping up? I still think this is about mouldy lettuce and little meatballs.

Actually, as a Florida Folk Singer, I frequently encounter the anti-Buffet sentiment. Perhaps even the anti-Buffet. I performed at the Will McLean Folk Festival this weekend which is an annual confluence of Florida song-maker types. The hit of the Saturday evening line-up was a young protege of the late Gamble Rogers named Sam Pacetti (if you're not familiar with Sam yet, you will be...). Late in Sam's set, someone from the audience yelled for him to play Margaritaville. "Hell no", says Sam, "this is a Buffet-free zone". There is a real sentiment among the Floriad Folkies that Jimmy is "too commercial" or "too rock" to be called a folk musician. Personally I like alot of Buffet's stuff and have most of his recordings...I would suggest Jerry Falwell as the one true Anti-Buffet, however.

It was just a joke! Although I, like many who stand before a crowd with an acoustic guitar do get tired of requests for Buffettiana. I like some of his stuff. Just doing a little joke.

Thanks, PG, I like Buffet too, but I caught a snippet of an interview on WMNF with a Florida or Gulfcoast singer/songwriter who was claiming to be the anti-Buffett. He's an artist who supposedly walks the talk (i.e., not rich enough to live in Palm Beach). He seemed interesting, but I didn't catch his name. Maybe it was Pacetti.

There's only one true Anti Buffett -- Mr. Buffett's father's sister Beth.

I always thought that Buffett was the Anti-Fred Neil. It's a shame that the only thing a lot of folks remember about Fred Neil is "Everbody's Talkin' ". If you havn't heard him I strongly recommend him. Some of his stuff has just been released on CD.

Come back Fred - we need you.

I recently found out that Fred Neil passed away in July 2001. It was with great sadness that I found this out. I only recently refound his music on cd. I used to go see him live back in the sixties at the Gaslight South in Coconut Grove, Fl. He will be missed.

Even if I had a pencil thin moustache (the Boston Blackie kind) I think it would still have food stuck in it from the friggin' buffet table.........I'm a messy eater. I'd probably drop 3-Bean salad down the front of my Ricky Ricardo jacket and spill bean soup on my Andy Devine picture.

As laid back as Mr. Jim is, I would think the "Anti-Buffett" would have to be someone terribly prim and proper. I'm thinking the Choir Master at any local church.

Is it where you turn up at a 'do' with your pockets full of cocktail sausages and small sandwiches with the crusts cut off, and procede to place them in bowls and empty plates?

I love them Buffett boys - Jimmy, Warren & All You Can Eat. I don't sing any Jimmy Buffet songs, 'cos he doesn't sing any of mine, it's nothing personal.
