   Last update: Wednesday, 19-Dec-2001 15:31:54 EST

We've re-engineered the CoB,O to make it easier and more enjoyable for us (and hopefully you) to visit the site. For awhile, both the old and new pages will run simultaneously, however the "old style" CoB,O won't be updated. Eventually the "old style" will disappear...

You can visit the new CoB,O at http://www.cobo.org/index.php

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a small write up on how Parrotheads get their Buffett fix.

This was posted on the Buffett List from today's Congressional Quarterly:

Count one less parrothead in the Republican Party. Before copying songs to a compact disc recently, Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey, Texas,conscientiously wrote to songwriters asking for permission. Jimmy Buffett turned him down, Armey said, because of "my politics." Armey's reaction? "I'm taking the Buffett for President bumper sticker off my truck and closing down his Texas campaign," he told reporters.

A celebrity sheet music online auction was launched on Yahoo featuring items up for bid autographed by some of the world's most famous artists, songwriters, and composers, including Jimmy Buffett. Proceeds from the auction will benefit City of Hope, the venerable Southern California medical institution committed to battling cancer and a host of other life-threatening diseases. Jimmy's auction closes on November 9. The Songs of Hope Auction is located at: http://auctions.yahoo.com/booth/cityofhopecharity . The Jimmy Buffett songbook item is located at: http://pageuser.auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/auction/56685002?u=%3acityofhopecharity. Thanks to Drew Warren

The setlist from last night's Atlanta show has been posted.

Smiley Anders, a columnist for The Advocate (a Louisiana newspaper), borrowed a line from "I Don't Know and I Don't Care" for last Friday's Thought for the Day." A reader pointed this out and reminisced about the "good old days" when Buffett performed in small clubs around there.

USA Today mentions the forced evacuation of MOTM conventioneers due to Hurricane Michelle.

The second cut on Barry Manilow's new album Here at the Mayflower is titled "Come Monday." According to the album information on the website, this is the first of his albums in 15 years to feature all original Manilow tunes. Looks like his originality disappeared when choosing the title of this song!
