A Pirate Looks at Fifty
Because of that, I have been excitingly reading his books in order. The first two, “Tales from Margaritaville” tells of Jimmy’s ‘Semi-True Story’ adventures, and his well-known first complete work of fiction, “Where Is Joe Merchant” were both very fun and enjoyable reads that I loved nearly as much as I do his music.
Soooo naturally, I was SUPER stoked to read his third book and autobiography, “A Pirate Looks at Fifty”. I read A LOT of autobiographies and memoirs and assumed that no one could have as exciting stories of adventures and other cultures, rock and roll and the meaning of truly living life to the fullest as much as Mr. Margaritaville han själv , right?! … Wrong. At least not that he was willing to write about at the end of the 90s.

Filled with interviews from friends, musicians, Coral Reefer Band members, and business partners who were there, this book is a top-down joyride with plenty of side trips and meanderings from Mobile and Pascagoula to New Orleans, Key West, down into the islands aboard the Euphoria and the Euphoria II, and into the studios and onto the stages where the foundation of Buffett’s reputation was laid.
