One wealthy, fanatical Parrot Head will soon be able to say that they got seasick on the very same vessel that Jimmy Buffett once scooted around in when the late “Boat Drinks” singer and Florida-core lifestyle mogul’s former yacht goes up for auction.

"And I've never been west of New Orleans
Or east of Pensacola
My only contact with the outside world
Was an RCA Victrola
And Elvis would sing and then I'd dream about expensive cars
And who would've figured twenty years later
I'd be rubbing shoulders with the stars..."

I interviewed Jimmy Buffett in December 2020 and read this 1977 quote back to him, and asked if it's the most wrong he's ever been. He laughed uproariously.

The Margaritaville empire "started as a funky gift shop down at Lands End Village, across from the Half-Shell Raw Bar in 1984" -- a few yards from the Key West shrimp boats.
