I know Jimmy doing things for casual fans is extremely taboo around here, and every move he makes is bashed by the cynics because he already has "enough" money, but most of us were new, casual fans at one point. Maybe he wants to add more parrotheads to the flock? And maybe he doesnt think he has enough money yet.
People here say Jimmy has lost sight and is 'making music for money' only. But just maybe some of us have lost sight of why we like Jimmy to begin with, to escape the negative day to day BS, not create more.
Sorry for the rant, please blast away.
I thought the price was pretty cheap for a DVD.There was no humor, express or implied, in my post.Tiki Bar wrote:While I recognize the humor, I think that's a harsh implication, and a very condescending comment.LIPH wrote:If Jimmy put dog s*** in a baggie and slapped a Margaritaville sticker on it, there are people who would buy it.

I'm happy that Jimmy makes money...as far as I'm concerned: if he never made any money doing this, he wouldn't have continued doing it so long. And then we would've all lost out.
I'd much rather give Jimmy and the CRB my money than some of these ridiculous new stars of today who are always making negative headlines and posing for magazines, etc.
And I wonder how many people stop to think how much money it costs Jimmy to run this entire production? Ever hear of overhead? Talk about fuel costs. Ever wonder how much jet fuel and trucking fuel costs to haul around all these people and all this crap for the stage...just to perform for a bunch of ungrateful fans?
I know a lot of people think that Jimmy and the band members have these cushy little easy lives. I think they work very hard for their money. A couple weeks ago, I did his schedule for two weeks...went to 4 shows in 10 days. It wasn't easy. Life on the road and living out of suitcases is not easy. And if by chance it is easier than it used to be, good for him! After 30-40 years on the road, don't you think he deserves it?
Do you really think that Jimmy purposely made a DVD to make his fans angry? He is trying to put together something that people will enjoy. That's what entertainers do.
If you don't like what he is selling, don't buy it. It really is that simple. I've already pre-ordered two of these DVD's!

WELL SAID!! You both have the right idea.
Heck, I think a lot more of us would go for it if none of it was previously released. Most of it is from Anguilla or Wrigley it seems. Another idea they could have done that I'd be more inclined to go for (and is probably just as half-assed as "Scenes") is an updated track list more in line with what his greatest hits are today (beyond Five O'Clock and Hey Good Lookin).changingchannels wrote:waste of money. just another rehash of already released material. now if he released a live dvd of scenes you dont know by heart,now that would be worth purchasing!
