00:00Roll it!
00:04Are you ready to go to Margarita Hill?
00:08Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reafer Band
00:12This is a song that the whole Coral Reafer Band wrote.
00:16If you ever get the chance to go to Dallas
00:20The Coral Reafer Band took this music and gave it to the world in a way that nobody else could.
00:24Yeah, I'm leaving this town as soon as I can
00:28We were kind of a ragged band, but we undeniably influenced the sound at that time.
00:33Jimmy needed a sound that he could be identified with.
00:36They helped create what Jimmy would become.
00:41Buffett? Jimmy Buffett? I can't say I've ever heard of him.
00:46Jimmy Buffett was a force of nature.
00:49Honey, why don't we get drunk and screwed?
00:53But it didn't start out that way.
00:56In the beginning, it was an imaginary band.
00:59Every popular Marvin Garden was with us all the way.
01:02I said, hey Jimmy, you need a guitar player.
01:04He said, alright, come on up.
01:05Jimmy handpicked everybody in that band.
01:08And everybody here is a part of what I do.
01:11Greg was telling you everything in his life.
01:14And that was the way he had to talk to the world, was through that heart.
01:17The band's name came from the Coral Reef here in Key West.
01:23And Reefer was marijuana back then.
01:28Yeah.
01:31There was a rawness to that band.
01:34But it also became this thing that's iconic.
01:37Good evening. This is the beginning of the cocktail hour.
01:40We had more liquor on our rider than Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.
01:45Anybody here give a shit about going to work next week?
01:48We started to get a little loose this time, weren't we?
01:51There was lots of parties and drugs and girls backstage.
01:54The Rolling Stones and everybody's tearing up rooms.
01:57We were just as bad as them, but we were just flying in our own little bubble,
02:00the Coral Reef of Band and Jimmy Buffett.
02:10Thank you, Coral Reef of Band!
02:12Love ya!
