Quick question guys...
Is the spoken intro to The Prince of Tides ("the sun, red and enormous...") an actual excerpt from the novel or is it an original from Jimmy himself? I've Googled the crap out of it and can't find the excerpt from the book. One source even says it's a quote from another Conroy ...

I'm making one of those sign posts for my deck that you see with the individual planks of wood with the name of a place followed by the miles to get there and I was looking for some opinions on "Buffett-esque" locations to put on some of them. Some are pretty obvious (Key West, Margaritaville, St ...

So annoying. Ruined the entire album for me.

Basically an outcast whose family pays them to stay away.....or something along those lines.

Hmmmm....interesting theory.

Who or what is a "remittance man"? I know what the definition of "remittance" is but I'm embarrassed to say that I don't understand how that applies to the song. Can anyone help? Any thoughts or theories?

I have actually heard of people bringing along a designated person to just stay in the lot and watch their stuff during the concert. Just supply them with booze and a comfy lawn chair and they do the rest. Lots of people just go to the tailgate anyway. Just a suggestion...

It wouldn't surprise me if it did. I never saw much of a crowd any time I went in there. Plus, there is no restaurant attached to it. Frankly, I'm kinda surprised it lasted this long. The one in MB is probably taking a lot of it's business.

Actually, Tiki, what you said was kinda what I was trying to say (just not as successful) The older stuff is what I listen to the most where as anything past 2000 rarely gets put into rotation.

I may get a lot of flack from this but here goes....

I didn't really care much at all for most of the new album. Same ol' tired sound. There were a few good riffs mixed in but over all it sounded like rejects from his last album. In fact, the last album that I really enjoyed was probably FSOTW. I ...

Hell, you just did beat me to it. I was looking aroung for it somewhere and here it is. I'll have mine on the rocks with salt please.

I'm David, I live in S.Carolina (centrally located). I'm a 20 year full-time firefighter. I also am a sports photographer for that inevitable part-time income. My favorite local beach is Folly beach in Charleston. I golf, kayak, camp out, ride bikes.....generally anything that gets me outdoors. I've ...

I don't even know what one is.....I don't think.

Where is the new album party?

Yeah, I figured it was pretty much just a fancy blender with a spout. Thanks for the reply.

Thinking of buying one of these.....any thoughts?

I'd kill to hear some new stuff with the old sound. More steel drums, harmonica and less whiny guitar.

I could swear I heard something on RM about a new album. Am I going crazy? Pretty sure they're not talking about Encores. Just curious.
