"Some would say that anyone who listens to jimmy buffet should be dead."

And most would not. But, if the sumsabiches keep playing that one song over and over again like it's the only song Buffett ever recorded? Yeah, I'd probably have to put up a fight too.

Gives “Wasted Away Again in Margaritaville” a whole new meaning.

Jimmy Buffett's songs SUCK!! But not that bad.

He is way overrated. Maybe someone can buy him another chord. then he would know 3 chords.

At least it wasn't God's Own Drunk or Why Don't We Get Drunk?. Those two songs played too much just get obnoxious.

Couldn’t dissagree more. Buffett’s a troubadour and a poet. If you think he only knows just three chords, then you should take some time and study. http://www.berkleemusic.com/school/courses/music_arranging

Besides, Duke Ellington considered that you only needed to know II - V progressions

*** The SF guy seems to have had some issues. ***

SF? I must have missed that part.

(There's other outfits that call Bragg home besides the SF. Like the XVIII Airborne Corps and 82nd Airborne)

Reminds me of the Rev. Billy C. Wirtz’s hilarious Margarita Hell

Sorry.

From another article:
“A call to Fort Bragg indicated that Lopez was part of a special forces unit. More details were not available about his service.”

He already knows three. And in fact even uses four or more in his songs.

In any case there's nothing wrong with 3 Chord songs. Thousands of classic Blues and R&R songs are based on the I, IV, V chord progression theory.

The V chord 'typically' being a minor 7th. (but If my fingers hurt or are tired sometimes I say screw it and play a major 'V' instead. sounds just fine)

Class over.

Now that's a great song! First time I heard it I almost split my sides laughing.
