Taking my almost-60-year-old frat boy to see Jimmy next Saturday in Birmingham. Guess that makes me the other character in that statement.

Actually he flunked out of Auburn first, and wound up graduating from Southern Miss. I have no idea about the guitar part.

Buffett took it, looked at, said "Man I quit that s--t a long time ago, I'm a GDI!" Get over it frat rats, Buffett has dis-owned you!

I think he's reclaimed it. But I have not heard of any big donations to Kappa Sigma so far. Maybe when his son starts college.

Oh no, it was uncool at a certain time in the 1970s.

I haven't a clue either; however, I gotta set the record straight!
