Sunshine and cold liquor and oceans are the bartenders for Buffett's music, and Son of a Son of a Sailor has the same easy-sippin' mix as the Margaritaville music on his last album, Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.

If the security guard catches you in the stalls, however, you can mosey over to the Boston Garden to catch the Marshall Tucker Band. They are an excellent act, not that anyone can tell by the warped sound of the cavernous...
