Description

The TMI gang are on summer vacation this week, so they dug through the vaults to present one of their favorite episodes — a story of life, love, and that frozen concoction that helps them hang on. Take a trip to Key West to explore one of the breeziest, booziest songs in existence — and uncover the secret darkness at its core. Jordan and Alex discuss the colorful cast of characters that helped inspire the track, the drug runners who saved Jimmy’s life, and how Elvis Presley nearly wound up recording the tune. They’ll also recount the time Jamaican police nearly killed Buffett and Bono, the unproduced Harrison Ford/Robert Redford buddy movie inspired by the lyrics, and how the song birthed a multi-billion-dollar empire that’s made Buffett one of the richest celebrities in the world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
