What Would Jimmy Buffet Do …

Winston is pontificating this morning on prayer and George Carlin’s demise earlier this week.
He writes:
Throughout my adult life, Carlin was my guiding light, my conscience, my benchmark. He had that laid back I don’t give a damn what you think I’m saying it anyway and if you don’t like it you can just f**k off attitude that drew me in like flies to horsesh*t.
He thought he might give Joe Pesci a shot like Carlin did.
But then he decided on this:
Not being a personal friend or a big fan of Joe, I continue my search. As of last night, I’ve settled on Jimmy Buffett.
As Ginger said in the comments, Winston wins the Internet today. And, former boss Johnny B., I thought of you, you old parrothead.
What’s weird is I absolutely hate that “laid back I don’t give a damn what you think I’m saying it anyway and if you don’t like it you can just f**k off” attitude like Democrats hate W and Republicans hate Hillary – it’s so diametrically opposed to my personal philosophy and personality to be laughable.
Yet I can’t possibly get enough of Jimmy Buffett, and always counted George Carlin as one of my favorite comedians. What gives?
