Negative Positive
Title: A tremendous opportunity, badly fumbled.
Review: As a serious (if that descriptor could possibly apply) Parrothead, I jumped at this title. Wow! More good stuff about a good guy. Wow! What a disappointment.What's truly ironic is that the author is a gold-card member of the Nashville establishment, the music community that Buffett rejected shortly after it rejected him. Which was for the better, I'd add. The author has done deep research, and reported every word of it. He rambles into mostly irrelevant and fairly menaingless anecdotes that do nothing to help us understand the inner Jimmy.This is a demanding book. You almost need a notepad to keep track of the awkward leaps forward and back through history, along with unpredictable changes in narrator, tense and setting. This is not a four-Margarita-in-the-hammock read.I enjoyed some of it, but I understand why Jimmy refused to cooperate. I'll wait for the autobiography he's promised in 36 years.
