0:30

Hey, everyone, and welcome to Trashy

0:32

Divorces, everybody's favorite good podcast

0:35

about bad relationships.

0:37

I'm Stacey, and Alicia, we're pulling

0:39

one out from season eight today. This is a

0:42

tribute episode. Hey, friends,

0:44

Alicia here. And

0:46

this morning with the news of the passing

0:48

of Jimmy Buffett, it seemed like

0:50

the very best time to honor

0:53

him in the trashy way we do

0:55

with bringing this one out from November 2020

0:57

to you today. And

1:00

honestly, it's not as trashy as you might

1:02

expect. There's a bit of a love story

1:04

in this one and a tribute

1:06

to a talented man and consummate

1:09

performer.

1:10

Let's all raise a glass to Jimmy and go,

1:13

go, go.

1:14

["Wedding March"] Alicia,

1:26

you have The Neighbor of

1:28

Strongheart Manor, is that correct? I

1:30

do. Where you have a favorite

1:33

story in this ilk, I

1:35

have a favorite story in this ilk. And

1:39

I am a parrot head. I was

1:41

a parakeet. Buffett was one

1:43

of my very first shows. There's not a day

1:45

that has gone by in my going

1:47

on almost five decades of life

1:50

that

1:50

I have not heard Jimmy Buffett. It's

1:52

my happy place. The love

1:55

story of Jimmy Buffett and Jane

1:57

is a love letter to marriage and finding

2:00

person and working it out and it's an

2:02

example for all of us. There

2:05

is one trashy divorce included.

2:07

Wonderful. An early marriage with

2:09

a trashy divorce but it wasn't the one. And

2:12

then Jimmy finds the one and almost loses

2:14

the one. Oh it's a tale with everything.

2:17

I love this story.

2:19

You ready? Just digesting

2:21

my cheeseburger in paradise. So. Ben's

2:23

up. Let's do this. James William

2:25

Buffet. He's a Christmas Day baby born in 1946. Capricorn

2:30

man. So might

2:32

tell you all you need to know about this story but

2:35

wait there's more. Jimmy

2:37

from Pascagoula, Mississippi. He's

2:40

a Catholic kid raised around nuns.

2:42

He's in the band. He's also a cheerleader in

2:44

high school too because that's how you get the girls. Yeah.

2:47

But he's not getting the girls. Whoo. Oh really?

2:49

I'm surprised.

2:52

He graduates high school in 1964. We'll

2:55

head to Auburn University or

2:57

Eagle. Drops out, comes

2:59

home to Mississippi where

3:01

he will attend the University of Southern Mississippi

3:04

and when he gets back home to Mississippi all

3:06

through this time he's busking in New Orleans

3:09

and he starts to book some clubs. He's making it big

3:12

pulling in crowds of 75 people

3:14

a night. Hmm. At

3:17

the coolest places down on Bourbon Street. He

3:20

will graduate with a degree in journalism

3:22

that's gonna come in handy in a few years but

3:25

let's meet Jimmy's first bride in trashy

3:27

divorce numero uno.

3:30

After Jimmy graduates he's gonna propose to his

3:32

girlfriend. Her name is Margie Wojciech

3:36

and young love conquers all right? Not exactly.

3:40

I found this amazing article from the Mobile

3:42

Press Register from July 21st

3:45

of 1969. There's

3:47

a cute picture of Jimmy and Margie who

3:49

were married just the week before

3:53

in 1969 after college graduation and

3:55

Jimmy's like a hometown hero right?

3:58

He's played in Mobile, he's played in Biloxi,

4:00

he's played in New Orleans, he's played in Auburn, like he

4:03

is on the yeah like South Eastern

4:06

Regional Circuit musical powerhouse

4:09

or something. So this whole article, local boy

4:11

headed

4:11

to Nashville because he has a new recording

4:14

contract and a new pretty wife and

4:16

they're gonna set the world on fire. Now

4:19

Margie is a local

4:21

Mobile girl so they just got married

4:23

last week and before she was

4:25

the first Mrs. James William Buffett

4:28

Margie is pretty active in Mobile

4:30

Life. She is the Miss USS Alabama,

4:34

she is an Azalea trailmaid

4:36

as well as serving on

4:39

the Gaithers Teen,

4:41

she's a model for Gaithers

4:43

Teen Board. Gaithers was a really big department

4:46

store. Kind of remember yeah they were... Doubt

4:48

in Mobile. Yeah I think they may have had some

4:50

in Northern Alabama when it was very young. We had Wakefield's

4:52

and Martins and Aniston, like every

4:54

kind of regional area had its

4:57

own... yeah anyway Gaithers

4:59

is where you went in Mobile if you wanted the fancy

5:01

stuff. Margie

5:04

is also Jimmy's number one fan and

5:06

she is interviewed for his

5:10

local kids going to Nashville to make it big. Big spread

5:13

yeah. So she's gonna tell the Mobile Press

5:15

Register

5:16

about her role in her

5:18

new husband's career. End

5:20

I quote. I can't wait. I'm

5:23

fairly critical so Jimmy plays his songs for

5:25

me first and I tell him what I think of

5:27

them. But of course his word is final.

5:30

I also lend him moral support believing

5:32

that he is very talented and I have all

5:34

the confidence in the world that he will

5:37

be a great success in the field of music.

5:40

Wow. And he met a Capricorn man. Also

5:43

that just sounds... Yeah

5:46

I'm not sure if she's actually met her Capricorn

5:48

husband. It's a fair question. But the

5:51

young newlyweds do head up to Nashville to make

5:53

it big and

5:54

it turns out just getting

5:56

to Nashville does not a rock star

5:59

mate. It does not. It's just not. In fact, it

6:01

frequently will grind you to dust. Well,

6:03

and Jimmy, he's not country or folk or rock

6:05

and roll. He's not really anything right now.

6:07

He's

6:08

Jimmy and doing stuff that Nashville

6:10

doesn't really know how to market or package.

6:14

And like Jimmy just starting out doesn't really know

6:16

himself. He is trying to

6:18

be Gordon Lightfoot. His

6:20

first album, 324 copies

6:23

sell. That's

6:26

it. And then the tracks

6:28

are lost. I mean, it leaves a

6:30

lot of room to grow, I think

6:32

they would say. Well, he's not exactly setting

6:34

the world on fire. Sure. And

6:36

the strain of, well, in fact, we are

6:39

actually not making it big.

6:41

And marriage maybe isn't all

6:43

it's cracked up to be. Young love goes

6:46

bad.

6:47

And Jimmy's not raking in the dough with music, but

6:50

we'll answer an ad in a local paper.

6:53

There's

6:53

a journalism major needed and Jimmy's

6:55

like, I got this. He applies for

6:57

the gig. And now Jimmy has a job, which

7:00

unbelievably enough is writing music

7:02

reviews for Billboard magazine. Wow.

7:05

Jimmy's like, this is great. They send me free albums.

7:08

I get to get into shows. Jimmy

7:11

says he never writes a bad review

7:13

because he knew what it took to get

7:15

up on the stage and actually perform.

7:18

It's like, I never was mean to anybody.

7:21

Every show was great. That

7:23

is extremely commendable. Well,

7:25

the other benefit that this gig will

7:28

teach Jimmy is he learns

7:30

the music business.

7:32

He learns how to actually make money in

7:34

the biz, which is not as an artist. It's

7:37

as a promoter. How do you be the artist

7:39

and be your own promoter? So

7:41

there's a lot of lessons that he's filing away

7:44

here. I don't know if Capricorn men are kind of ambitious.

7:47

But he realizes that even

7:50

if you're the supply, you could

7:52

also be the supply chain.

7:55

Jimmy says it's up to you to figure out how to take

7:57

advantage or to manage whatever.

8:00

you're going to do. Like

8:02

for instance, here's a good example. Why

8:05

am I going to pay a promoter to rent

8:07

a piano in every town we tour when

8:10

I can buy a piano, pay

8:11

for it in 10 shows, and have

8:13

it for years and years, right?

8:16

It's just Jimmy wants rights to publishing

8:19

and his record company is like, nah

8:21

dude, you're the artist. You don't need to bother

8:23

your pretty head about that. And he's like, okay,

8:26

we're done. I'm done with this music thing. So

8:28

the kids are scraping by.

8:30

But even their love cannot save them.

8:32

As Jimmy will sing in his song, Migration,

8:35

one of my favorites, I got married

8:37

too early, cost me much more

8:39

than a ring. So Margie and

8:41

Jimmy fizzle out fairly quickly. They're

8:44

split. Ended in 1970, early 71. And even though

8:46

divorce will not be finalized until 1972, trashy

8:54

divorce one happens. But 1971

8:57

is kind of a big year for Jimmy.

8:59

When Nashville not exactly working out, it's

9:02

not the right fit. But Jimmy, personable

9:04

guys made some friends along the way

9:06

to

9:07

in particular that are about to change

9:09

his life. Number one, Jerry

9:12

Jeff Walker and Teresa

9:15

Murphy Clark. The two of them

9:17

with their young son are like, Hey,

9:20

Jimmy, you need to change his scenery, man. We're

9:22

going to Florida. They

9:24

land in Coconut Grove outside of

9:26

Miami for a few weeks. Acclimate

9:29

Jimmy to the culture, make

9:32

sure Jimmy's cool. And then it's time for

9:34

the real adventure to begin. So

9:37

they all pile into Jerry Jeff's silver

9:39

and maroon 1947 Packard

9:42

sedan. It's called the Flying Lady.

9:44

And they make the drive all the way down

9:46

a one a

9:48

through the keys and end up in key West

9:51

and Key West in November of 1971 beginning of 72 y'all fishermen,

9:53

hippies, pirates,

9:57

writers, gays, artists, military.

10:00

Key West is a town of charm and awesome

10:03

and quirky and weird and wonderful.

10:06

It is one of my favorite places on

10:08

earth. I just love it. But in the early

10:10

70s Key West is a whole

10:13

different... I'm sure... cacophony

10:18

of awesome. It was probably

10:20

kind of affordable at this

10:23

point, right? Yeah, much more affordable

10:25

than it is now. Well, and

10:27

Jimmy's like found a home. I found

10:30

me a home. Key West is gonna change Jimmy's

10:32

life.

10:33

He's still playing, but he's working

10:35

on a fishing boat and maybe smuggling

10:37

some grass while we're at it and scraping

10:40

by and learning a whole new language

10:42

of living on an island. And what's

10:45

island time? And he goes to see the sunset

10:47

every night on Mallory Point.

10:49

His song Ten Cup Chalice is about

10:51

that. Like, it is a time

10:53

of creative exploration

10:56

of let me figure out who I am as an artist.

10:58

He's gonna make some more albums and he's gonna

11:00

find wife number two.

11:02

His true and lasting love. And

11:04

although there are one or two false starts, I

11:06

do believe they found their stride. I love

11:08

this story. Okay, so Jimmy

11:11

gets to Key West and one of the places that he hangs

11:13

out at and plays at is this

11:15

place called the Chart Room Bar,

11:17

which is part of the Pier House Motel. Spring

11:20

of 1972, Jimmy's friend Groovy is like,

11:22

hey Jimmy, have you met my friend and roommate from

11:25

back when I was at University of South Carolina?

11:28

And Jimmy sets eyes on Jane

11:30

Slagsvall and our love story

11:33

begins. Let's talk a little bit about Jane,

11:35

Sally Jane. She's a Leo gal. She's

11:37

an August baby. Really,

11:39

really private, so I can't pin down the exact

11:42

day, but I can verify based on

11:44

a later star-studded birthday

11:46

party that we'll talk about in tidbits this week.

11:49

She's an August baby. Leah. From

11:51

Columbia, South Carolina, Jane's

11:54

dad is an insurance executive, her

11:56

grandpa is an oil executive,

11:58

Jane graduates high school.

11:59

in 1969, so she's

12:02

a few years younger than Jimmy. I don't

12:04

know if you heard, he goes for younger women. He's

12:06

lived with several a while. Jane

12:09

attends University of South Carolina, beginning

12:12

in 1969, stays through 72,

12:14

because there's a spring break trip

12:16

that she's taking down to Key West, where she's going

12:18

to hook up with her friend Groovy from back

12:21

home, and hey, have you met my friend Jimmy?

13:35

sometimes the best way to get a trashy divorce

13:37

story written is to take a little break

13:40

to get some perspective. When I need to

13:42

shift things up, I enjoy playing Lily's

13:44

Garden on my phone. Lily, in

13:46

a bad place after a big breakup,

13:48

has inherited her

13:49

great aunt's somewhat neglected home

13:52

and gardens, which Lily must restore

13:54

to their earlier greatness. It's

13:56

a match-two puzzle game with thousands

13:58

of relaxing puzzle levels. and more

14:00

added every week, where you match and collect flowers

14:03

in the puzzles to earn the stars you use

14:06

for the garden's renovations. As

14:08

the game unfolds, Lily's personal

14:10

story emerges.

14:12

Think of it as a telenovela with

14:14

twists, turns, and a hunky

14:16

banjo-playing neighbor. You'll meet

14:18

new characters along the way, spark

14:21

a romance or two, and laugh

14:23

with Lily's friends and neighbors. Lily's

14:25

garden is a fun way to calm down and refocus

14:28

for a few minutes and take some time

14:30

to really express yourself in designing

14:32

Lily's gardens and home. My first

14:34

day of playing, I got into day three

14:36

and level 36, so maybe I

14:39

spent more than a few minutes playing. Download

They're

as a precious resource. Most farmers

15:32

recycle water up to four times, from

15:35

chilling the milk to irrigating the crops.

15:38

15:50

It's a love affair. The pair is smitten,

15:53

but not without challenges. Jimmy's

15:56

trying to break through, and Jane is going to be his

15:58

rock in support. Kind of from the. time

16:00

on, although sometimes closer in

16:02

proximity than others. They

16:05

date. They fight. They date more.

16:07

They live together. They fight.

16:10

There is a time that there's this big blow

16:12

up, and Jimmy leaves

16:15

Jane to go play a show in San

16:17

Francisco in which he will

16:19

write Come Monday for

16:21

Jane.

16:23

She's even in the video for Come Monday. Check

16:25

the Trashy Divorce's website for that gem.

16:29

Come Monday is the first musical bookend

16:31

that I want you to know in

16:34

the bookends of their love story.

16:36

Jimmy will dedicate 1974's Living and Dying in three-quarter

16:40

time. Good album to her. Jane's

16:43

gonna sail with them. They lead a magical and charmed

16:45

life. Come Monday

16:47

apparently works. Write me a song.

16:50

It's kind of a baller move.

16:52

They reunite.

16:53

Jane and Jimmy get married August 27, 1977. The Eagles

16:55

is their reception band,

16:59

so that's kind of fun. It's

17:03

my friend Don Glenn. So

17:05

I guess he kind of broke through during their

17:07

courtship. Well Glenn Fry and Jimmy Buffett

17:09

I think were

17:11

neighbors in somewhere

17:13

forever and ever. They were big buddies. Like,

17:16

yeah Glenn, he played at my wedding. Okay. Honeymoon

17:20

in Paris. It's amazing. A

17:23

few sweet things here. Jimmy will call

17:25

Jane his soulmate. He is wowed

17:29

at everything that she

17:31

can do. She can cook peach cobbler

17:33

on a fishing boat in rough seas. She

17:36

can interact comfortably at high-profile

17:39

events. Like Jane

17:41

is a girl that apparently you can take anywhere.

17:43

She is impeccable, immaculate.

17:46

Like to hear, she's very private, but to hear

17:49

people describe her, she just is amazing.

17:53

Jimmy says she's like Mr.

17:55

Spock. She's logical. She's a

17:57

smart thinker. Smart woman in a real...

17:59

short skirt, right? I admire

18:02

Jane for a lot of reasons as well. Most

18:04

especially is when she hears Cheeseburger

18:06

in Paradise for the first time. She says

18:09

that is the stupidest song I have ever

18:11

heard. And I agree with you, Jane.

18:13

I'll still sing it every

18:15

time it comes on, but it's the stupidest

18:18

song ever. I can attest that when it comes

18:20

on you will sing it, but you will also say

18:22

this is the stupidest

18:24

song ever.

18:27

So Jimmy and Jane gonna make their

18:29

dreams happen. Jane is gonna travel with

18:31

Jimmy and the Coral Reefers from 1977

18:34

to the early 80s. They have

18:37

their first child in 1979, a

18:39

daughter Savannah,

18:41

and Jane's gonna stick with it for a few more years.

18:43

But by the early 80s,

18:45

Jane has kind of had enough of the rock and roll

18:47

lifestyle, the drugs,

18:49

the partying, and seeing the

18:51

damage that it's doing to her

18:54

husband. Like there

18:56

are some heady days that are happening in the early

18:59

1980s, right? And Jimmy,

19:02

I've been drunk now for over two weeks, passed out

19:04

on a rally, sprung a

19:05

few leaks, right? Down

19:07

to rock bottom again, it's not a good time for

19:09

Jimmy. And Jimmy and Jane,

19:12

even though they're gonna remain close friends,

19:15

will be separated from the

19:17

early 80s for

19:20

almost a decade, like eight years. Jimmy

19:23

says, I got eight years off for bad

19:25

behavior. Hmm. Because

19:27

Jane's a mom and there's a kid to care for

19:30

and

19:30

she's finding some kind of ground to stand

19:33

on when

19:33

you see someone you love making terrible

19:36

decisions night after night. Jane's

19:39

like, work it out, man. She's always

19:41

kind of staying behind the scene. She's not the

19:43

vaudevillian performer that her husband

19:46

is. She's a little bit more grounded. Jane's

19:49

keeping everything in line. There

19:52

is a divorce petition put

19:54

in in 1988. That

19:56

petition is withdrawn the following

19:58

year in 1989. Jimmy

20:01

and Jane fully reunite in 1991 and have been

20:03

happily ever after. So

20:08

like they just took the 80s off basically? Then. That's

20:12

really great because they got together in the early 70s. We're

20:15

coming back

20:15

around. Hold on. So there's another

20:17

baby born in 1992, Delaney. You

20:21

may have heard of her. She talks to statues. Delaney

20:24

actually has done the most magnificent thing

20:26

with dad during the quarantine. And Jimmy

20:29

is putting out November 27th,

20:33

the album that he's making with Delaney. It's called

20:35

Songs You Don't Know By Heart. So when

20:37

the quarantine happens, Jimmy quarantines

20:40

everybody in California. So

20:43

needing something to do. Like he never sits

20:46

around for very long. He puts

20:48

a call out to his parrot heads like, what

20:50

songs do you always wish

20:52

that I would play that I don't? You

20:55

have any idea how many responses he gets

20:57

in the first hour to that? Yeah,

21:02

that was not the number I was going to guess. So

21:05

these videos are charming and have been packaged

21:07

into a new release coming out with

21:09

some of the lesser known Buffett songs,

21:11

but beloved by true parrot

21:13

heads. Oh, BTW's I have mine

21:15

on order already. Not surprised.

21:18

Jimmy and Jane adopt a son in 1994. Is

21:21

this my Christmas gift to you? Maybe. Excellent.

21:24

Jimmy says he needs a man around the house. He's

21:26

got all girls between his wife

21:28

and his daughters and all the pets

21:30

are girls too. Cameron Marley

21:32

is that kid named after middle, the

21:35

Robert of the same name. Bob

21:37

Marley-o. So what causes

21:39

this change, right? We've

21:42

seen so many trashy divorces

21:44

split in that time where it

21:46

just all goes bad and there's no reconciliation.

21:49

There's no, it just, there's no getting

21:50

back together. How did these crazy

21:52

kids get back together? Yes. At

21:55

the end of the 1980s, mid mid to end of the 80s, Jimmy. Jimmy

22:00

in this time is in his early 40s and

22:03

he talks about playing a particular show

22:05

where he is hung over.

22:08

And he's like the audience didn't know.

22:10

My adrenaline got me through it,

22:12

but I was so ashamed of myself.

22:15

I disappointed myself. I

22:18

disappointed the audience.

22:19

And Jimmy in his 40s is really

22:22

having some moments of reckoning. Like I do

22:24

not want my family to be ashamed of me.

22:27

And my hangovers,

22:28

now that I'm getting a little older... I was gonna

22:30

say, yeah, you can do a lot in your 20s

22:33

that you just can't in your 40s. Well, it was fine when I was

22:35

hungover for a day, but now my

22:37

hangovers are taking just as long as

22:39

post-op recovery from surgery.

22:42

They're

22:42

two or three days.

22:44

Two weeks, right? He is really

22:46

reckoning with himself and will

22:48

put himself into therapy

22:50

to begin working all his... ish out

22:54

and does. Which is where Jimmy is

22:56

becoming pancake dad. He

22:58

wakes up now the time he used to go to bed.

23:01

He rarely drinks. He

23:03

doesn't smoke pot anymore. And it's quite

23:06

a dichotomy from the leader

23:08

and king of living the laid-back lifestyle.

23:13

Jimmy lays back in a whole different

23:15

way now with the joy of his wife and

23:17

family and travel and music and friends

23:20

and all of his businesses. He, at

23:23

latest estimate, is worth about $550 million. So

23:27

probably financially fine. Sounds

23:29

like he may be comfortable, yes. He really

23:32

did learn a lot about the business and how

23:34

important it is to retain control

23:36

over your creative output.

23:39

There's good lesson in that, folks. Jimmy

23:41

says the key to a happy marriage is to have low expectations.

23:46

And right, his summer job, he's

23:48

been traveling every year for...

23:52

Decades. ...40 years on tour, right? So

23:54

concert touring is

23:56

his income, so when

23:58

he's home he tries to make that

23:59

time count as much as he can. This

24:03

is back when the kids were growing up. When the kids were

24:05

off from school, everybody goes out and

24:07

travels with Jimmy and he says

24:09

they loved to see the circus,

24:12

which

24:12

if you've been to a Jimmy Buffett show it

24:14

is kind of a circus. Jimmy on

24:16

the other hand says he wants his kids to have a better

24:19

sense of the world in an earlier age than

24:21

I did, which is

24:24

fantastic. Self-admittedly,

24:27

Jimmy says he is not a good disciplinarian.

24:29

I am Peter Pan. Jane runs

24:31

the show and pays the rent. Hard

24:34

to see it otherwise. Yeah, like Jane pays the bills

24:36

and keeps us all very,

24:39

she's the general around the place

24:41

and

24:42

to me like Jane provides

24:45

the love and the safe space that keeps Jimmy

24:47

and his boundless energy and enthusiasm

24:51

focused and channeled into positive and

24:54

constructive

24:56

ways while still

24:59

encouraging the spirit that

25:01

he has. I love

25:04

Jane. She's provided a wonderful foundation.

25:07

I think that

25:10

Jimmy repays that to her, not only

25:12

with the love and happiness of their marriage,

25:14

but here's your other bookend from

25:17

Come Monday. It's a song called

25:19

Coast of Carolina and if you

25:21

look at them, oh gosh, it's written

25:23

as the other side of Come Monday and

25:25

after a whole lot of years and love

25:28

and this song is co-written by my

25:30

other favorite guy, Mag McAnally. You do

25:33

love Mag McAnally. He has written the best trashy divorces

25:35

ballot of all time, all these

25:36

years, but that's not the focus of this story

25:38

today. Anyway. All right, Coast

25:40

of Carolina. I can't see the

25:42

future but I know it's coming fast. It's

25:45

not hard to wind up knee-deep in the past.

25:47

It's come a lot of Mondays since the

25:50

phone booth that first night. Through

25:53

years and miles and tears and smiles, I want

25:55

to get it right. I love this

25:57

line. From the bottom of my heart off the Coast

25:59

of Carolina after one or two

26:02

false starts. I believe we

26:04

found our stride. And I

26:06

thought he was going to rhyme Carolina with like, I

26:08

wanna or something. I

26:11

believe we found our stride and the walls

26:13

that won't come down. We can decorate

26:16

or climb or find some

26:17

way to get around. Cause

26:19

I'm still on your side from

26:22

the bottom of my heart. I

26:24

love that as a sweetest little book into the best

26:26

love story that I ever

26:28

heard. I love it. I love it so hard. I

26:31

love this love story. It is one of my favorite ones.

26:33

Maybe a few deep breaths. You're very

26:36

cute. I mean, come on in the walls that won't

26:38

come down. Hell we can decorate

26:40

or climb or find some way to get around. Cause

26:44

I'm still by your side. Like

26:46

that is not shaking that off at all. That

26:48

is the love. So not a divorce, no trash

26:51

cans, just sunsets and coconut

26:53

bras and a blender loaded

26:55

up to spend some margaritas. There you go. Maybe

26:58

Virgin margaritas these days.

27:00

He does drink on Sunday. Okay.

27:02

Good. That's, you know, if you can

27:04

find a place of moderation. I

27:06

had more fun researching this

27:09

trashy divorces story than, Oh,

27:11

I know you've been popping into my office

27:13

for days with fun facts about

27:15

Jimmy and Jane and like, okay.

27:18

Well done Jimmy and Jane 43 years.

27:21

Absolutely. Not always bliss,

27:23

but a Testament to finding the one.

27:25

God, I

27:26

love it. Sometimes you find a way to work

27:28

it out and you hit your stride. I

27:30

mean the eighties were a weird decade. So maybe

27:33

taking the decade off was not terrible.

27:36

Got eight years off for bad behavior. I feel like things

27:38

picked up a lot in the nineties. That's

27:42

it. That's another week of trashy divorces.

27:45

Oh, Jimmy, it has been a lovely

27:48

cruise. You lived your life

27:50

like a song and we are all better

27:52

for it. Thank you, Mr. Buffett

27:55

for being part of my everyday for

27:57

so many decades now, sending.

28:00

all the love to Jane and Jimmy's

28:02

family and the Parrothead family worldwide.
