Now i'm sure some of you 'in the know ppl' are going to rip my ass. But I don't care. I feel that both Gordon and Jimmy are two of the greatest songwriters of our time. Hey look past the damn cheesburger song and look at some of the ballads Mr Buffett has written. They are similiar in the fact that JB writes about the ocean and sailing and Gord has written about trains and lakes. As far as Mr Haggard tell me that he and Gord are not the ultimate poets of our or your generation?
Please,do not forget John Prine,he is a Wizard of Words!
