Brr! Oh, well, I can take a cold “snap,” but those “long cold spells” are another thing. It’ll be warmer tomorrow, they say. I’m trying to warm everyone up with some Jimmy Buffett as winter starts. Getting close to top ten time…and here’s a song that would’ve made the “top 15.” Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season Linda? No. The “hurricane” in the title isn’t the drink, despite the line about needing a Bloody Mary “so I stumbled next door to the bar.” No, this is just “a day in the life of Jimmy Buffett with a hurricane warning.” If you’re wondering why he postponed that Paris trip for a week (“in a week I’ll be in gay Paree, that’s a mighty long airplane ride”), it’s because there weren’t any hurricanes that hit Florida in 1974. A depression, unnamed, got close in October 1974, but that was as “bad” as it got in Florida that year. So he could reason with it. Not me. I’ve been in or near three (four if you count Ike coming through Kentucky in 2008), and that’s six too many for me.
