Historic Ballpark Desecrated By Lame Musical Act



Billboard reports that the especially pointless Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band will play two nights at Fenway Park in September.

I had hoped that Buffett's history of being tossed from Miami Heat games would've rendered him ineligible from performing at Fenway Park. Since that wasn't enough to make a difference, I quote the following by Rant N. Irishman from the Moynihan Institute and urge Red Sox management and the City Of Boston to reconsider.

In the summer of 1984 I was invited to attend a Jimmy Buffet concert by some chick I hardly knew. It was free and I had nothing better to do so I said yes. I knew nothing about his music or his cult following. It was without a doubt the worst musical experience of my life with an outdoor James Taylor concert coming in a close second. The music was bland, lacked innovation and was completely devoid of any sort of musicianship. Jimmy Buffet and his Coral Reef band’s music can be best described as adult nursery rhymes celebrating drunkenness, laziness and promiscuity. The music is not really rock or reggae or blues or country. It sounds a little bit like all of the genres without ever really committing to any of them. Jimmy plays it safe. It can aptly be categorized as yuppie muzak. The ubiquitous xylophone and maracas create a nauseating faux island music experience. . This clown and his band are nothing more than a wedding/bar band that got lucky and found a nitch of idiots with more money that taste. The fans often refer to themselves as Parrot Heads. The Parrot Heads (BKA Pecker Heads) adorn themselves in silly straw hats, Hawaiian shirts, tight Kaki shorts, sandals and those sun glasses with the strings attached. Some go so far as to wear those beverage hats that hold beer cans so they can drink beer through a tube. Pretty crazy! It’s all pretty pathetic.
