What I read in the paper this morning was that Quayle said that Clinton's
economic views are closer to his (Quayle's) than they are to those of
the liberal Democrats in Congress. I suppose that means that he is trying
to position himself as a Republican who can win back those moderates
who went for Clinton this year.

Doonesbury from Nov 4, too early for a

-The scene, 4 panels, all showing the front of the
 white house.  The first panel has a note from Trudeau
 saying:

 "Mr. Editor:  Please check boxes before publishing.  Thanx!"

-Panel 1-
 Front of white house with those thought bubbles coming out. 

 "Can't believe

"Who could have predicted this

At this point, Bush is the official head of the Republican Party. But 
when he leaves office, essentially the head of the Party will be Phil 
Gramm, Chairman of the Republican National Committee.  However, that post 
is a post that also is elected by Republican party Activists, and this 
post is up for grabs in January.   Christian Coalition Members have 
stated that they may try to replace Gramm with one of their own.  I don't 
really think they can, Phil is to powerful and the mainstream will surely 
close ranks behind him, and there is no elemnt of surprise here.  Also 
Senator Phil Gramm is the top republican Money raiser and this gives him 
lots of leverage. He also controls the party purse strings.  But this may 
be fun anyway.  The Xian Coalition is bound to try just to see how strong 
they really are, and to put the country club Republicans on notice.
  I see that some Coalition Boosters such as columnist Cal Thomas are 
already putting the blame for the defeat on Bush's lukewarm support of 
their far right religous positions, and are already setting up a 
revisionist view of the election.  
Senator Phil Gramm will have his hands full January.  Remember, Gramm 
will be running for president in 96.
  Also remember Gramm was the 2nd greatest beneficient of the S & L and 
banking lobbyists and PACs.  Quite a pedigree there.
  The first greatest beneficient of the S & L and Banking lobbyists here 
inthe U.S. was Texas' other Senator, Lloyd Bentson.
Who may become a Clinton Cabinet member.
Dang, counting Perot who has made his group an official 3rd party, we're

Organization: Bell-Northern Research, Research Triangle Park, NC
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 1992 14:11:29 GMT

This is a picture, in GIF graphics format, of a harbor with 	
fish playing in the surf.  The picture comes in 5 parts and is 	
640 X 480 in 256 colors.  Also, this picture is just a cut-out	
portion of a picture previously posted to alt.pictures.binary.misc.
I know that this should probably be posted to that group, with only	
a notice in the buffett group, but hey, this group is dead.  Anybody	
else have any pictures that can take the mind to the islands? Volcanoe
album cover?

PS. The instructions for decode this type of file can be found in	
alt.pictures.binary.misc, but I will summarize them here:

1) Pull each part of the picture down, parts 1 - 5, to your	 
   account, using the picture part number as the file type.
   (eg. harbor.1, harbor.2, etc.) U Don't need part 0/5.

2) Concantenate the parts together in numerical order.  
   I use the Apollo/HP/Unix BSD command 'cat harbor.* > buffett.out',
   for example, to put all the files in numerical order into one file
   called buffett.out.
	
3) Edit the file buffett.out, removing everything except the stuff 
   BETWEEN the
 
   '----------- begin x/5 ----------------------------------' 

   and

   '----------- end x/5 ------------------------------------'

   lines.  This inlcudes the 'headers', and also remove these 'begin'
   and 'end' lines.

4) Decode the modified buffett.out file from ascii to binary. I use	 
   the Apollo/HP/Unix BSD command 'uudecode buffett.out'
 
5) This produces the file harbor.gif that you can view with any	
   graphics viewer program that handles GIF files, such as XVIEW ('XV')
   for XWindows systems. There are others that don't require XWindows.

  For me it was one of my fraternity brothers back in college.
He was a parrothead and listened to Buffett when doing
any serious drinking. So when we played "pong" (beer pong for
those who might never had heard of the game) we only listened
to Jimmy.  I got hooked fast!
  College being over I don't play pong anymore but I do
listen to JB.  Especially when sailing - seems most appropriate.

due to popular demand (thanks tim) the interview continues..........

"the short story book was successful.  i couldn't leave it there.  i didn't
try to write *war and peace*.  i tried to to write something you could take
to the beach.  i wanted it to read easy."

"in *where is joe merchant?*  buffett wrote about what he knows:  the rock
scene, the milieu for his title character, and piloting boats and flying 
planes around caribbean islands, which is protagonist frank bama's forte.

frank bama isn't me but we have the same musical taste.  he listens to 
james taylor and van morrison.

once i got the lead character and his girlfrind going, it was a matter of 
connecting old haunts and stories and changing a few names.  after all my
wild years, i realized that was research.
buffett worked on his novel during the last three years, writng every day,
even on tour.

my wife and i had been seperated almost seven years.  we reconciled and i was 
still touring.  and i was writing a book.  it was a pretty big menu.

the reunited buffetts have two duaghters, savannah jane, 13, and 6 month
old sarah delaney.

in the novel, buffett has fun with rock group names----cats in heat,
freddie and the fishsticks, missing milk carton children----and with 
chapter titles.

it was always the fun part of being in rock n roll, making up names of
bands and making up song titles.  as a songwriter, i feel if you get a good
title, you get a great song.

at that rate, *desdemona's building a rocket ship,* chapter 10, will 
probably be a song on buffetts's next record.  his song titles include
*please bypass this heart* and *cheeseburger in paradise*, and one album 
is titled *last mango in paris*.

a year ago, he started margaritaville records, which has released a
buffett 72 song compilation, *boats, beaches, bars &ballads*, distributed
by mca.  he's also signed new acts who don't fit niches.

i learned how to be a performer and relate to an audience by doing a song,
talking, feeling an audience.  you start learning that in a bar.

still, as a kid buffett thought he'd grow up and go to sea just as members
of his family did.

my grandfather was a sailing ship captain.  the caribbean and it's lure
were with me all my life.

i have sailed my guitar around the world."

	 I thought I would start this post out with a request. PLEASE, let there
be some Buffett gifs out there.   ( I could use the change of views)   I am not
going for the picture of Buffett (I'm sorry, but Jimmy ain't always so photo-
genic as all that), but rather for what he stands for.   Travel brochure from
Biscayne Bay, St. Thomas for Christmas, etc.   It'll keep me from putting six 
holes in my decstation.
	In other news, I heard that Buffett attended a Clinton celebration
in Tennessee.   I have thought about Buffett for president, but that'ld mean
he couldn't tour as often.   
	As for stories...   I actually liked Tales form Marguaritaville as a
collection of short stories.   I don't know about Joe Merchant, however, it 
almost autobiographical and to big to be real.   Who has read it and what are 
your thoughts?

This was from the August 8, 1990 concert in Cincinatti.  He was yelling becaus 
there was a very large inflatable shark being lowered form the roof of the

Yes, it is called "Jimmy Buffett - Live by the Bay" and was filmed in Miami at

In one of the self-declared autobiographical stories from "Tales from 
Margaritaville," J.B. quotes his friends as calling him Bubba, so I assume 
that this is his nickname which would fit  the lyrics.

jimmy buffett is too busy living the good life to rest

"jimmy buffett has the image of a guy so laid back he can scarcely bend his
elbow at the beach.

that's occasionaly true, says the singer-songwriter-guitarist, during an 
interview to promote his first novel, the breezy *where is joe merchant?*

but he says, i also love to work.
he loves preforming, too, and fans flock to his performances.

in the summer of 1991, grosses for his concerts put him third behind the 
grateful dead and guns n roses.  this summer he thinks he came in third again.
i'm more popular now than when margaritaville was a hit, he says.

so, although he hasn't had a huge hit since *margaritaville* 15 years ago,
buffett didn't have to write a book to feed his family or fill empty days.

i think i was driven to write  becausei wound up living in key west, which was 
a literary town when i went there.  i wrote travel pieces for the miami
herald and i was always writing short stories.  12 of these stories are part
of *tales from margaritaville*, published in 1989."
