Jesse Winchester is an American Hero. The world would be a much lesser place without him. If we'd had more leaders like Jesse, there'd be a lot more Americans alive today to celebrate his life. To those that do not know, Jesse has just won a battle with throat cancer. I for one am very grateful. His music has always been a sustaining force in my life. You go, Jesse!
Thank GOD Jimmy and Jesse were able to avoid Vietnam. I don't know where I'd be without JB's music or where his music would be without the influence of people like Mr. Winchester. What's more brave--avoiding a draft to avoid risking your life for something you don't believe in, or doing what your told and going to fight, even though you feel it's wrong?
@PrinceofCarolina Anyway--there's a place for all this political bullshit, but it ain't Margaritaville; Parrotheads are Dems and Reps, liberals and conservatives who come together dressed like idiots into one BIG PARTY.
fa382 and achris1212: fa382: sorry that you felt intimidated by the government to fight in a meaningless war. sorry your parents were too stupid to get you out of it. Don't blame Jessy, though, just because he was not as intimidated as you were , nor was he as stupid as your parents.
OMG, don't tell me you are one of those 20 somethings who lives with his parents. You seem to rely on your parents for your survival. They must get you out of a lot of mistakes you continue to make in your life, Sad. Well, enjoy the music.
Pay no attention to the bleating of of those who are used as pawns for the industrial military gangsters. The real hero's are those who stand by their 'own' beliefs I dont know jesse but wars long ago ceased to be fought to protect your own heart land. Many a songster has been persecuted by those who wear uniforms and have sold their soul and been recruited too young..
Jimmy Buffett introduces American songwriter and draft-dodging coward Canadian-American Jesse Winchester as his HERO. Holy Crap, I always liked Buffett but now that I know where his head is (up his a--) , I think I'll pass on any more JB anything. JB is no longer on my playlist. Incidently, the real heros died at LZ Xray and Khe Sahn while Jesse was crawling across the Canadian border. Jimmy Buffett you are joke and a clown and now everyone knows it, if they care to learn history.
Why get so worked up about a singer songwriter. He may of done thing you don't agree with, but that doesn't mean you can't put that aside and enjoy this for what it is.....Entertainment.
You are a pathetically ignorant shithead. Please do remove yourself from anything that has to do with JB or JW. They won't miss your sorry ass, and neither will anyone else. In fact, we all cheer your exit.
I don't like draft dodgers or those who consider them heros. I don't know you but I do know them. My advice is for you to get educated on those who you admire, have an open mind and you very well may find that they are not what you thought they were because they have spent a lifetime creating an image for all to admire.
I'll bet you like George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, and the dozens of other right-wing chicken-hawk draft dodgers just fine. They're probably heroes to you, just like Ted "I'll shit and piss my pants for weeks to avoid service" Nugent. So you can cram your ideology-driven likes and dislikes up your fat pimply ass, Adolph.
Yeah, that's what you are...negative. Please hurry up and die, and take your negative bullshit out of this world with you, so that we can better get on with healing the world that you and your kind have hurt so badly.

Let us not forget - Jesse Winchester is a draft dodger, a traitor, and a coward. He should be reviled, not celebrated.

My God, do you hear yourself? How do you sell your soul to die for a country of ungrateful strangers like you? You are the one who needs to wake up.

How the fuck do you know how old I am, and what does this have to do about age, Adolph?
It's about whether you're a Nazi or not. You obviously are one. And so the rest of us justifiably shit on you and the rest of you Nazi rat-fuckers.
