It's a long, long way from Key West

I used to be a parrothead in that my wife and I were happy co-habitants with several avian companions over the years, but I'd never call myself a "Parrothead" in the capitalized sense. I do however, work in the great city of Boston and my regular parking spot is in fairly cloe proximity to the hallowed pasture that is Fenway Park - this allows me ample opportunity to witness the perpetual migration of Sox fans both to and from the park. Yesterday I was a bit, well let's say disturbed, by the apparent mass-infiltration of the Fenway / Back Bay area by countless minions of the man from the Keys who sings about cheese(burgers). The always superb (and recently renovated) blog crafted by that literary pundit of the technorati, Andy Ihnatko has a hi-larious take on the whole Buffett shebang:

There's just something about being wild and cutting loose and expressing your individuality -- but doing it in exactly the same way that 30,000 other people are doing it -- that I find highly suspicious. 30,000 similarly-attired people in a stadium doesn't say "rock concert." It says "cult mass-wedding." There's a hollow, desperate undercurrent to the proceedings. I just don't see these people as deep, abiding fans of Buffett...or of anything, really.

read Andy's whole spiel right here.
