Jimmy made a surprise appearance at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting with Warren Buffett: Berkshire Live: Updates from Q&A session
The meeting opened with a surprise. "Mr. Buffett" was introduced as debonair, talented and other superlatives, and out stepped singer Jimmy Buffett, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and shorts and bearing a guitar, who proclaimed himself a distant cousin to Warren Buffett. Jimmy Buffett said genetic testing was done, and the question of who will inherit Warren Buffett’s company has been answered. Jimmy Buffett said "Since blood is thicker than water, I’m your new chairman." Jimmy Buffett later said he was kidding.
Jimmy Buffett performed a reworked version of "Margaritaville" that began, "Living on sponge cake, and Omaha beef steak, watching the shareholders running around." The chorus was "Wasting away in Berkshire Hathaway-a-ville."
From MSNBC: The singing Buffett, who performed a version of his hit "Margaritaville" adapted for the meeting, stumbled through lyrics placed at his feet. "Warren gave me a really big budget for a teleprompter here," he joked.
