I don’t dislike his music. It’s alright, though I couldn’t listen to it for too long. He’s consistently bland and mediocre, and that’s not too shabby. And even where he’s good, I can’t see as how he’s good enough to be the inspiration for the kind of cultish following Buffett enjoys.

What the hell is it? Is it subliminals, peer pressure, drugs? Why are people so crazy about Jimmy Buffett?

This is a massive conspiracy to keep me at the office, isn’t it?

To the Pit.
