| Pop review: Jimmy Buffett brings musical happy hour to Pizza Hut Park 01:13 AM CDT on Sunday, April 29, 2007 By MICHAEL GRANBERRY / The Dallas Morning News FRISCO – The clock in the makeshift saloon that filled the stage at Jimmy Buffett's Saturday night concert said it all: It was stuck on 5 p.m. The time referred to the hit single he recorded in 2003 with country star Alan Jackson, recatapulting Mr. Buffett, now a spry 60, to the top of the charts. It's called "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," and it captures the Buffett ethos as much as it does an artist who remains so true to himself and his adoring fans that he sells out every venue that books his shows. As he has thousands of times in thousands of cities, Mr. Buffett wowed the crowd at Pizza Hut Park with a nearly three-hour show that made everyone feel they were well into happy hour. Mr. Buffett is a pro's pro – he can play and jam with the best – but this is not Bruce Springsteen raising the ghost of Woody Guthrie or Jackson Browne drawing eerie parallels to Iraq in "Lives in the Balance." This is spring-break music for adults. It is meant to be unadulterated fun, and it is. So annoying at baseball games, beach balls are anything but at a Buffett concert. They rain through the air by the hundreds, as grown-ups wearing parrot noses and parrot heads, flowered shirts, hula skirts and pirate suits sashay and dance with smiles on their faces as the graying, balding maestro sings of "Growing Older But Not Up." At such moments, those in the crowd are as far from the office as they can possibly be.. |
