Jimmy Buffett’s Stash Rivals Willie Nelson’s

Jimmy Buffet

We are moving to France after work today because in France the cops are cool. Page Six reports that Jimmy Buffett was on his way to St. Tropez on a private jet when customs officials discovered more than 100 tabs of Ecstasy in his luggage. Here in the States that many happy pills would score you major jail time and, say, $100,000 fine, but if you’re in the South of France (and are Jimmy Buffett) you pay $380 bucks and can be on the beach by dinnertime. ‘Course Buffett’s spokeswoman insists the medication seized was prescribed by a doctor, but couldn’t, apparently, name any health problems Buffett is enduring. We’re guessing he feels pretty damn good most of the time, much like Willie Nelson, who also seems to purchases his drugs at Costco.

This is the first cool thing the French have ever done.

Jimmy Buffett is so cool that even the French can’t hate him. I grew up listening to his music, and I’m convinced that the man can do no wrong. Not even associating with mainstream country music can make him less cool!

come monday I hope buffet flies to my house

DT | 10/6/2006, 2:41 pm EST

Not the first cool thing they’ve done, its just been awhile since they’ve done anything cool. Thanks for inventing the blowjob froggies

So Jimmy Buffett needs Ecstacy for medical reasons…..can I have whatever medical condition he has?

I mabye I should replace my “guy” with Jimmy’s number on my speed dial???

I’ve been a Parrot Head since 1976. Jimmy’s taste for mind altering substances has been no secret. One listen to his first live album, “You Had To Be There” and you’ll know that Jimmy is no stranger to recreational meds.

Looks like Bubba has found a better supplier than the one he had when he wrote Manana with the line, “There’s not enough dope for us all to get high.”

Jimmy B. and I go way back. We recorded a live tape in Coconut Grove, that was engineered by Henry Landcrab Ha! Ha! and we were up for a couple of days, just swapping guitars, what a great medicine cabinet, Way to go Jimmy, by the way, who mentioned MANANA !!!!!

Jorge Corrochano | 10/7/2006, 12:35 pm EST

Jimmy B. and I go way back..to the early days at The Flick Coffee Cafe, in Miami, Coconut Grove. Jimmy’s buddie Henry L. recorded a great cassette which we still have. Way to go Jimmy, you always had a great medicine cabinet.

God I wish I had some ecstasy,but that been gone since early this morn’in!!!!!!!when i landed in france!!!!!!!!!

Hey France bashers with short memories or no knowledge of American history, France helped us in the Revolutionary War, the one that really counted.
As far as Jimmy B., I hope you fought the law and you won. Fuck the dumb laws. Man works hard he/she should be able to chill with a pill, tab, bud, brew, etc. As long as you’re not doin’ smack, ice or crack it’s pretty much ok and you should be able to chill.

Jimmy was caught with stuff that is synthesized in a lab, which is used for no real medicinal purpose, and it has been known to kill.

Willie was caught with stuff that is organically grown by mother nature and doesn’t have that “synthesized” feel to it. So while I’m inclined to be a little puzzled by Jimmy actions, I can more easily get my mind around what Willie does in the privacy of his tour bus.

Hell, even an old fart like me likes a little of the green stuff every now and than. At my age, it’s better for you than booze.

I have been a Buffett fan for many, many years but the last ten years or so have been rough. Word was circulating that Jimmy had gone straight and it became all about the business. He wouldn’t take the stage unless he netted a cool million dollars. But now it seems like he still had a hedonistic bone left somewhere in his body. Even though he seems to like ecstasy (not my choice of alteration), it is great to learn that he still likes to mix it up a bit! My respect for Jimmy has increased or at least been restored!

flamingo | 10/8/2006, 8:23 pm EST

viva la france! viva la buffett!

BUFFETT BOY | 10/9/2006, 10:39 am EST

Way to go Jimmy! It has been known for years that Jimmy always travels with a bag of schwag to help him get through customs, CD’s, T-shirts, but X, wow! The french must have higher standards that the latest Jimmy tunes. Mayber they don’t like the country influence either. Get back to the beach Jimmy, and maybe they will leave your suitcases alone again

The man has a good head and a big heart. If he chooses to sacrifice a few gray matter cells……..he likely knows what he’s doing.
