Remember this? Many Tuesdays ago, I told the story of the time Marc and I went to some small venue show with some friends, and I got bored with the music, and this ensued:
Shots on the bar. A pretty typical scene from those days, really. As I looked at this photo, I recalled certain events of the night... who was playing and where we were, and who was taking the photo (hi, Becky!). But I may have extrapolated a few scenes that were hazy - such as those involving that girl with her back to the camera in the photo, who I imagined was not happy with my attempts at fun-raising.
Turns out I was wrong.
I stumbled across another photo - this one:
She was totally cool, and a fun girl. I remember now. Sorry I smeared you on the Internet, random fun girl who worked at the bar that night.
In other news, want to know who was playing that night? Whose music was so boring it drove me out to the bar?
Wait, who's that?
Oh, hai, Jimmy Buffett. Sorry I was bored that night at your show. I saw lots of your other shows, so we're cool, right? Call me!
Ahem.
Anyway. Now the story is straight. Everyone there was happy, nobody was a bitch, and I had a very shiny face. And I'm pretty sure Jimmy never missed me at all. That bastard.
The End.
Jimmy Buffett? Jimmy Buffett, Robyn???
Good thing we are not dating, because this is totally a deal-breaker for me.

A deal breaker? sigh
Ok, now the last time I decided to chime in on Robyn's blog, it was all political and messy, and well, I probably hurt some feelings, so I promised myself I would be nice...r.
But, Heidi, you dis Jimmy, you have to take your medicine.
Can you even name any songs by Jimmy Buffett that you didn't hear from his 'Greatest Hits' album?
Can you even name more than 10 songs of his?
Do you know he has produced over 30 albums in a career that spans almost 30 years?
Did you know that of those 30-some albums he has 8 Gold Albums and 9 Platinum or Multi Platinum Albums?
Judge not yest ye be judged, turtle lover.

Marc - Down, boy. ;)
Heidi, don't sweat it. Many times in the past, people have been startled to find out that no, I'm not as cool as they once thought. They lived through it and still talk to me sometimes. I stopped crying about it years ago... except sometimes on cold, lonely nights.

marc,
i'm proud to say that i can only name 2 buffett songs: the margarita one and the cheeseburger one. and those two alone are enough to make me never want to hear anything from him ever again.
plus, "parrothead" sounds like a euphemism for something crude.
however, i do have friends (in real life! actual non-bloggy people!) who love JB. so you and the mrs. go right on with your parrothead selves.
i'll still braid your hair, i just won't come to the show. (although the bar area looked fun...)

Yeah, the cheeseburger one DOES totally suck.
But the bar? Always fun. Always.
