The Associated Press has an artcile on Buffett’s expanding business empire: “No wasting away in Margaritaville: Jimmy Buffett gets bigger, more diversified with age”
Buffett, who turned 62 on Christmas Day, long ago became an icon of certain baby boomers — perhaps the least-hip demographic in the country — by offering the dream of throwing off their responsibilities for his tropical party vibe.
