| Music Review: Buffett knows how to throw a good party Monday, June 25, 2007 By Cody McDevitt, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Anyone driving west on Route 22 Saturday night realized one thing: Jimmy Buffett has some devoted fans. Cars and buses streamed banners like "Buffett or Bust," or "Fins on the Right." The right lane had a line of cars four miles long, waiting to get a parking spot at the Post-Gazette Pavilion. The rebels got in the left lane, drove past all the traffic, and cut off the rest of the line at the Burgettstown exit. My driver did the latter. After we parked, what I saw was not something I would see everyday. Parrotheads, the nickname given to Buffett's fans, are what make his concerts special. Some went shirtless; some went shoeless. But in all respects, they were ... carefree. There was a collection of 50-year-old men running around the parking lot dressed as Superman, Spiderman and other figures from the comic universe. They carried a sign that said, "Superheroes against Tequila." The superheroes walked past an RV that the owner called the "Steelers Tailgating Assault Vehicle." It was powered by "white trash," and declared that the owner's ex-wife was in the trunk. The owner sat on top of the RV with a good-looking blond. Once I got in, I heard a guy behind me say, "I love concerts. They're like mini-vacations." I went to my seat, which was three rows away from the stage. As my watch struck 8 p.m., Buffett rode a bicycle on stage. He gave a Corona to one of the fans in the front row. . |

| Cody McDevitt, In the interest of reporting accuracy, we would like to clarify what our Superheroes sign actually read. It read: "Jimmy's Superheroes - Fighting Crime for Tequila - One Shot at a Time." Also, we would like to go on record of not being against Tequila and responsible drinking! We are all for it!
