Jimmy Buffett to campaign for Kinky

Buffett will campaign, in moderation
By BILL ADAIR, Times Washington Bureau Chief

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Singer Jimmy Buffett says he will campaign for only two candidates in the 2006 election: Bill Nelson and Kinky Friedman.

[...]

Buffett said he was backing Friedman because "he's an old friend of mine and he wrote a great review of my book in the (New York) Times. "I like what he's doing."

[...]

Buffett told the students that countries are like rock 'n' roll bands, with three basic types:

democratic (with a small D) bands with four equal members who each want to kill each other;

benevolent dictatorships (he puts himself and his Coral Reefer Band in that category);

the ego-centric band, which has a leader "who doesn't give a damn about anybody else."
