Another bittersweet memory - for me and I suspect for Jimmy Buffet, too. My Margaritaville was Key West - and Key West for both of us, doesn't really exist anymore. By the time you get to be my age, you'll find lots of places that just aren't there - they've changed too much - and we've changed too much. "My" Key West was a sleepy little fishing town, former home of Hemingway and Sloppy Joe's Bar that he hung out in, and was totally laid back - it was on "Island Time". I went back once - and it's nothing but a thriving tourist trap.
