[00:00:00] Today's Message (Live/1990) - Jimmy Buffett

[00:00:08] "Oh yes Welcome welcome all

[00:00:19] In the middle of this parrothead

[00:00:21] Madness this evening we

[00:00:26] Thought it would be appropriate to take a few minutes

[00:00:28] Of your time to reflect on a little spiritual

[00:00:32] Spiritual healing

[00:00:40] Heal 'em up sister

[00:00:45] We have such a choir with us this evening

[00:00:49] We can't wait to hear all of you sing with us

[00:00:51] That's why we're here

[00:00:56] We heard you all on a couple of songs already

[00:01:00] The only thing is

[00:01:01] It's not nice to beat Jimmy

[00:01:03] To the words of his own song "

[00:01:09] "Yes we white people been working

[00:01:11] On rhythm for a while

[00:01:12] But we've got a long way to go

[00:01:18] So when we get to this next song

[00:01:20] We'd like for you to sing

[00:01:21] I know that some of you

[00:01:22] May be a little hesitant here

[00:01:27] The climate that's going around these days

[00:01:29] Because some pea-brained people think

[00:01:33] That some of my songs are obscene and nasty

[00:01:45] We know better don't we

[00:01:52] But I just feel sorry for the ones that don't

[00:01:54] It's just that the times have moved so far ahead of 'em

[00:01:58] They're back in the pea-brained past "

[00:02:03] "Time has moved so fast

[00:02:05] I will give you a couple of examples Today

[00:02:09] A pair of tennis shoes costs

[00:02:12] More than a lot of your first automobiles did

[00:02:18] I had a hundred dollar

[00:02:19] Pick-up truck back in those days

[00:02:21] I know Can I get an AMEN

[00:02:24] For a hundred dollar pick-up truck "

[00:02:31] "Today there are two Madonnas

[00:02:38] Our Lady of Fatima over here

[00:02:41] And that woman from Michigan runnin'

[00:02:42] Around Italy with Warren Beatty over here

[00:02:50] Looks like Helen of Troy

[00:02:56] Sue me baby sue me yeah "

[00:03:09] "And uh we don't want you to think of this song

[00:03:11] In those terms because this song

[00:03:12] That we're about to get you to help us

[00:03:14] With is not a nasty obscene song

[00:03:16] It is a love song

[00:03:24] From a slightly different point of view

[00:03:26] That's all

[00:03:31] And before we sing it we just want to bring you

[00:03:33] A little message of peace prosperity

[00:03:36] And hope in such a trouble world today

[00:03:40] But Reverened Jim has a few things he thinks

[00:03:43] Could work to solve our world problems

[00:03:47] And our world tensions "

[00:03:51] "First of all we send all the presidents of the savings

[00:03:55] And loans associations over to run the country of Iraq

[00:04:07] That would solve two problems right there

[00:04:12] And world peace

[00:04:13] I've got an answer for world peace

[00:04:15] We take the money

[00:04:16] That it'd cost us to build just one B-1 bomber

[00:04:21] That one that doesn't work

[00:04:23] We change it into five dollar bills

[00:04:26] We put all of this money into bags

[00:04:28] And we fly over the Atlantic Ocean

[00:04:30] Past Europe because

[00:04:31] They're getting their sh*t togehter anyway

[00:04:33] We drop this money on the Russian people

[00:04:39] All those little tiny pictures of Abraham Lincoln

[00:04:42] Come tumblin' down out of the sky

[00:04:47] I want them to feel those sawbucks in their hands

[00:04:52] You know how your money feels

[00:04:53] When you accidently leave it in your blue jeans

[00:04:56] And you take it out and it's all warm and soft

[00:04:58] Oooh Well we let those Russian people

[00:05:05] Hang on to that money for

[00:05:06] About a week and then we fly back over there

[00:05:09] We fill our airplanes

[00:05:10] Full of mail order catalogs from L L Bean

[00:05:21] From up in Columbus Sporty's Pilot Shop

[00:05:28] And Victoria's Secret

[00:05:36] The Russian people have this money in their hand

[00:05:39] The catalogs come down

[00:05:41] They look at those pictures

[00:05:42] On the opening pages of the Victoria's Secret catalog

[00:05:44] Not back in the outdoors section you know

[00:05:47] What I'm talking about right

[00:05:52] They got the money they got the catalogs

[00:05:54] They're going to get the idea

[00:05:55] They send all the money

[00:05:56] Back to us to buy the stuff

[00:05:58] We have full employment There's world peace

[00:06:00] And the Russians have crotch-less underwear

[00:06:02] Through the twenty-first century

[00:06:06] Thank you "

[00:06:15] "So I hope you have no hesitation

[00:06:18] About joining us in this song

[00:06:20] As I said it is just a love song

[00:06:23] From a different point of view "
