Jimmy Buffet Is An American Icon

What did you expect was going to happen when the Buff Man strutted up to the mic for the National Anthem? You thought the guy who has built a mega-empire off of island escapism and not giving a fuck was going to all of a sudden give a fuck? Not today. Not ever. Jimmy Buffet burns every building he enters to the ground, pours tequila on the ashes, erects a resort on the grounds and spikes a microphone. It’s like when the US beat Russia in the space race and spiked the flag into the Moon, claiming it as a US territory for all of eternity. That’s what Buff Man just did to the Superdome. That’s now officially a Margaritaville with turf.
