JimmyDOTcom : The Evolution of a Phan

By Jerry Gontang and Jackson Quigley

While quietly making noise in the early 70s, no one, least of all Jimmy Buffett, had the slightest inkling of the sub-culture his fans would become. His following didn't even have a name until 1985,... This description may be from another edition of this product.

JimmyDOTcom: The Evolution of a Phan by Jackson Quigley

A parrot-heads `Alice in Wonderland".I over paid for an autographed copy of this book at our club's annual charity event, and have loved every page - A must for your collection. -Beverly Metzger, Chicago, IL.

PAAROT HEAD MUST HAVE

I usally don't write reviews but i am making an exception. If you are a parrot head or wondering what one is. this book is a must have. It is well written and the information is great. Alll around fun book. And if you ever went to a concert watch out you might be in the book:-)

Jimmydotcom the never ending story !

Jackson has captured what no one else has been able to do by giving you the exact definition of a Parrot Head. It's not just the definition, but he shows you in pictures. And while Jimmy couldn't get it all on paper, Jackson sure has. Jackson not only got it on paper, it's on the web too.JimmyDotcom isn't just a great coffee table book, try leaving the book on the back of your throne, and when you have guests over count how many times someone walks out with it in their hands. I've had to put a note that reads: please wash hands before handling. I know that's more info than you should know, but I feel I can share anything with a phellow Parrothead. It is the best Jackson!

Mr. Quigley is a "Parrothead"head

Simply put, this book is the quintessential document of Jimmy Buffett's fans. Don't buy this book looking for Jimmy's biography, and don't even think about finding the lyrics to "Margaritaville" (although there are some hysterical alternate lyrics to a few songs within). No, this book is about the "phans" that "phlock" to the parking lots hours before Jimmy and the Coral Reefer band takes the stage, and it is VERY thorough. Chances are, if you came to see Jimmy on his "Beach House On The Moon" tour, your picture is in this book! Every detail about Parrotheadism is there, along with some of the craziest photos you've ever seen. Trust me, you may have thought your Jimmy Buffett concert experience was full, but it's not complete until you see how the rest of the country does it (and by the way, it's comforting to know that there's so many great minds thinking alike here).A "preferred reading" for anyone who's ever been curious about life as a Parrothead, and a MUST HAVE for anyone who's ever worn a grass skirt or a coconut bra to a concert. Thanks Jackson!

JimmyDOTCom captures the true parrothead experience

When I first met Jackson Quigley during his Jimmy Buffett Beach House On The Moon concert marathon he was doing "research" for this book. Now I'm not sure how he got this job, but it's one I'd love to have. It is definitely a parrothead's dream job, and Jackson did it supremely well. I have about all the parrothead books that have been published, but this book does by far the best job of capturing the whole parrothead experience. I have always struggled to answer people when they ask me what a parrothead is and why the heck do I need to go to sooo many Jimmy Buffett concerts every year. I got to the point where I just shook my head and didn't even try to explain parrotheadism (if that's even a word). I'd just tell them to go to a concert or two and maybe they'd get it then. Well now I can just tell them to buy this book and I think they'll definitely get it. Kudos to Jackson Quigley for doing all that hard research in getting this book together. I was glad to finally pick up my copy at Meeting of the Minds 2000. This book is entertaining not only for parrotheads, but I think just about anyone would thoroughly enjoy having it on their coffee table.
