>>> DISCLAIMER!!! DISCLAIMER!!! DISCLAIMER!!!
I would NEVER inappropriately "DISH" a celebrity or anyone else, but in the 1970s and 80s, Jimmy Buffet got caught with SOME of his orifices STUFFED!!! To get OFF scot-free, he turned in TONS of Key West cocaine dealers (it hadn't caught on BIG in "The States" yet), and everyone who was ANYONE absolutely HATED and TRASH-MOUTHED him.
I KNOW because I visited Key West REGULARLY in the second half of the 1970s before moving there at the end of the decade. Hilary Russell, one of my THEN-PARTNERS in www.whalestalecapemay.com (with Chuck Pritchard -- the three of us all Denison University alums), and backed by OUR HARD labor packing fish at Cold Spring's Commercial Dock, pumping Gulf brand gasoline, and later, a HELL OF A LOT OF HOUSE PAINTING), and Hilary and I would drive her mis-painted Toyota Corolla down the OVERSEAS HIGHWAY (built by Henry Flagler whilest he was married to Mary Lily Kenan) -- sleeping in the car on the side of the road to save gas (and me, 6' 11"!!!).
The Irish Mafia (in the ENORMOUS KIND PERSON of William Earl Johnson, Jr. who was FED UP with the BAD TASTE of his WILDWOOD CREST family who spent all winter FLOCKING everything in sight -- including a HAMMER that I believe Chuck Pritchard STILL HAS POSSESSION OF), also guaranteed a $1,500.00 bank loan our first year -- how we started building credit, since we were all FINANCIAL SCOFFLAWS, ourselves.
Anyway, the restaurant that I managed late '80 - late '81 WITH GARY TUCKER AS A WAITER -- one of the people SEWANEE/Republicans/CIA/Episcopal Church BRIBED to overturn the codicil to Tennessee Williams' will, eventually, was ATTACHED to a VERY COOL STORE (still there, I believe), Fast Buck Freddie's in the Kresse Building (tres DECO!!!), and Gail Brockway, the FOOD WIZZARD OF KEY WEST since her early 1970s opening of LAS PALMAS DEL MUNDO, that was ACCLAIMED in all the NATIONAL PRESS as "the first restaurant ever to celebrate natural organic foods -- without serving them like MEDICINE, opened a DECO New York Restaurant, Bar, and Deli named TUX in the other half of the space.
Eventually, Gail went under (don't WE ALL at times???), later, resurrecting here, which is CURRENT: http://www.oldtownmexicancafe.com/ . Jimmy "Cocaine Makes Ya Queer" Buffet later opened his FLAGSHIP Margaritaville restaurant in the space we had occupied as TUX (and I believe THAT is still there, silicone BOOBS and all!!!
And to TOP IT ALL OFF, the person who WROTE the soon-to-be-posted review, dropped me an email stating that HE hung out QUITE A LOT in Fast Buck Freddies -- what a co-IN-cident!!! -- sure hoe he made some FAST BUCKS!!! (but he's PROBABLY not really Mr. Buffett who's eaten so much at the PUSSY BUFFET he looks OLD AND HAGGARD now. DEFINITLY a poster child for VIAGRA!!!

After I finished reading this book, Walking on Glass: A Memoir
of the Later Days of Tennessee Williams, I am very happy to say that the author,
Scott Kenan took me on quite a wonderful trip back through Key West and my days
there. I lived there from the beginning of the 80's thru the 90's.
If you have
been to Key West you know of its rich history and of Tennessee Williams . . .
While
reading this book you may just feel the sun's warmth while riding a bicycle or
smell the sweet blossoms that bloom year round in this wonderful paradise. The
author recreates the best and possibly the worst of Key West, and getting to know
Mr. Williams will be a great treat for anyone.
If you like to read about the
life of a great personality, some old Hollywood, and some wonderful name dropping
of celebrities, grab this book and escape.
It was a brilliant time in Key West
and on Broadway and stage. Mr. Kenan's writing rekindles the 1980's with ease.
Thanks for the great trip back, I wanted to stay.

Geithner Predicts GOP Will Cave On Taxes
www.huffingtonpost.com
By Aruna Viswanatha WASHINGTON, Dec 2 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner pressed Republicans to offer a plan to increase revenues and cut government spending, and predicted they would agree to raise tax rates on the wealthiest to secure a deal by year-end to avoid the "fiscal cliff...
This is the MOST FLATTERING picture MSNBC was able to take in a 2011 report.
(In the late 1970s, I promised "everyone" in Key West that I'd "get Jimmy Buffett-Buffet back" .)
