True enough, but I'll bet that Buffett has moved beyond adolescence. He's a pretty darn shrewd businessman in addition to a talented performer. Look at what he's parlayed a few hit songs into...restaurants, bars, record labels. He's his own industry. And at least he looks like he's still having fun while doing it.
He played down here in Columbia a couple of months ago, some people that went to the show said it was pretty good.

I'm not a Buffett fan, so I should have kept my mouth shut. Somehow, his schtik just never appealed to me. The closest I ever got to that sort of thing was Commander Cody, who did kind of a country rock equivalent of what Buffett does ("Truckin', f***in', everyone's doing it now"). To each his own. :-)
The Barefoot Man down in the Caymans is a regional icon.
His politics includes giving money to Wesley Clark and Bob Graham. Ugh.
Hmmm, OK but you are going to have to submit very compelling evidence for me to believe your theory.
And so we can be very clear on the matter "compelling evidence" would have to be in the form of death or dismemberment resulting in the shunning of your philosophy.
It's basically a Christian philosophy that says there's more to life than getting drunk and smoking pot. I don't want to sound too moralistic because I've done plenty of both, but I think you eventually have to move on and grow up.
That is, until your kids move out.
Hmmm Assumptions... Who said adolescence is about those things?
Maybe your experience with adolescence was keggers and a beer bong with the boys but mine was traveling and learning an growing (both mentally and physically.)
Yea, I had a beer or two and even tried pot once but for me it was adventure; seeing what was over the horizon and experiencing everything I could.
You can have your adulthood and if you are insinuating I am not Christian enough because I shun growing old of the mind, so be it.
However, I guarantee I am one happy fella and lived a hell of a life. Few regrets and lots of great memories.
How about the chancellor. I heard he was a fan.
