7 Things I'd Rather Do Than Listen To Jimmy Buffett

Sorry Dad, I can't handle that man's singing.

7 Things I'd Rather Do Than Listen To Jimmy Buffett
Celebs 101

In a recent car ride with my dad I had the displeasure of listening to Radio Margaritaville for majority of the trip. It was over an hour and a half of one of Jimmy Buffett's concerts from 2002; I have never liked Jimmy Buffett or his music, and this car ride solidified my dislike. Below is a list of seven things, in no particular order, I would much rather do than listen to Jimmy Buffett:

1. Listen to a baby cry.

If you offer it food, you can probably getting the crying to cease.

2. Waiting for the doctor.

I'm not a fan of having to wait even half of an hour for the doctor, but at least they have fun things to play with.

3. Chatting with an Ex.

Sometimes it's unavoidable, but hey, at least you have something to make fun of later!

4. Clogging the toilet in your SO's home.

It sure is embarrassing, but it'll get flushed eventually and never mentioned again.

5. Sitting in traffic.

Unless you're exposed to Jimmy Buffett while sitting in traffic...

6. Hang out in a nursing home.

Some of the more testy elders race their wheelchairs down the halls.

7. Working on Black Friday.

In all reality, working in a grocery store on Black Friday isn't that bad. There's just a lot of questions about any sales customers think we should be having.

There is so much I would rather do than listen to Jimmy Buffett's off-key signing. If you like Jimmy Buffett that's fine, his fans seem to be having a great time, but please just don't ever make me listen to him (sorry, dad). He's not for me.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
