In honky-tonk Branson, Mo., the heart of the Ozarks, $120,000 will buy you a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house.

He has become a spokesman for those of us who still enjoy being "the people our parents warned us about." For 364 days of the year, we deal with unadulterated crap, but on the 365th, Buffett comes to town and we slip away to Margaritaville. Being a Parrothead isn't without its responsibilities, however...
