Thoughts from a Florida Parrothead….
We are not Parrot Heads because we are Jimmy Buffett fans.
We are Parrot Heads because:
- We love the ocean.
- We love our planet.
- We love to have fun.
We are Parrot Heads because:
- We are not afraid to be silly.
- We are not afraid to act foolish.
- We are not afraid of love.
We are Parrot Heads because:
- We like scantily clad members of our favorite sex.
- We like playing in the sun with those same members.
- We like singing songs that say all of these things.

We are Parrot Heads because:
- We believe the best things in life cannot be bought.
- We believe sharing the best things make them better.
- We believe in the innate goodness in all of us.
We are Parrot Heads because:
- We know shared joy is increased.
- We know shared pain is lessened.
- We know a good friend has value beyond measure.
It just so happens, that Jimmy Buffett sings about all these things.
So, we are not Parrot Heads because we are Jimmy Buffett fans, we are Jimmy Buffett fans because we are Parrot Heads

Where the magic began

The Hub at The University of Southern Mississippi.
This bronze marker is located where singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett met and first jammed with harmonica player Greg "Fingers" Taylor, who became a member of Buffet's first Coral Reefer Band. It was the early 1970's, and Buffet was a recent graduate of Southern Miss. He was on the steps of The Hub, playing for students between night classes. Taylor, then a Southern Miss student, asked if he could join in.
It was the first official gathering of Parrot Heads!

Are you a parrot head?

Hub City Parrotheads Dave Brandon and Andy Waites designed this meme several years ago. Since then, it has been shared on many pages, including many club pages across the Parrothead nation. Do you realize its truth? Are you a Parrothead?
