Wastin' Away on the North Coast
Podcasting about Jimmy Buffett from the Great Lakes State
Just catching up on old shows on my DVR, and caught this oblique Buffett reference in Wednesday’s Late Show with David Letterman. Not one of his best, but it fits the criterion to be included here. I’ve included the whole ten for the sake of completion…and for the huge belly laughs, of course…

Since our soon-to-be released Episode 121 includes lengthy talk of trying to record this year’s radio ad, consider this a spoiler.
Recorded at quarter after 7 this morning, off 94.7 WCSX FM. It’s not the best quality (it’s in mono, for one thing), so hopefully I’ll be able to replace it soon.
Update: I was able to record a better version on Friday, at around 6:40 AM. I’ve replaced the above version with the new one, but, for the heck of it, the original can still be heard here. Incidentally, from the needless information department: the ending of the stereo one got a little clipped, but I was able to “restore” it by blending in the longer ending from the mono one.
Good thing Mike texted me. I almost forgot to check the Sunday paper — wherein, was this ad, confirming the rumors of a Pine Knob show this June…
Yesterday NBC aired NBC Sports coverage of the Detroit International Auto Show. At one point the host was demonstrating Sync voice command technology in a Lincoln MKX when he spoke the command, “Play song Margaritaville”, which promptly began playing and remained playing in the background for a little while. He then went on to demonstrate the new in-console blender technology. Okay, that part I made up, but it would be cool I think.
From Jimmy’s YouTube channel:
“Jimmy Buffett asks Parrotheads to help Haiti in this time of need. Simply text haiti to 90999 to make a $10 donation to the American Red Cross Relief for Haiti.”
The contest Scott began in Episode 115 is over. A name has been drawn (during halftime of tonight’s GMAC Bowl game — Fire Up Chips!). And that name is announced in the following video…

P.P.S.: and a few more, from Mickey:
Just back from Jake Shimabukuro’s amazing performance at The Ark in Ann Arbor. Technology hates me and I lost most of my photos, but here are a few that survived.
Here are some random shots, which turn out to be mainly the ends of songs. A medley of finales.
