Synopsis
Perhaps the world's most famous beach bum, and certainly one of the most financially well-set, Jimmy Buffett lives a life that's the envy of his many fans. His loveable everyman persona is displayed to good effect in A PIRATE LOOKS AT FIFTY, a combination of memoir, travel book, and mid-life crisis antidote that's as endearing and entertaining as the man himself. Buffett's combination of salty common sense, easygoing humor, phenomenal good luck, and the ability to turn all of these into palatable songwriting material have earned him the freedom to live, if not exactly as he pleases, at least with enough freedom to give himself the 50th birthday gift of loading up a plane and flying around the Caribbean with a full complement of family and friends. He writes about the resulting adventures and past events in his own life, both hilarious and poignant, in a dryly humorous, semi-rueful, head-shaking fashion, unsurprised by his own failings and constantly amazed after each escapade that he's gotten away with it yet again.

Publisher's Note
For the millions of fans of Jimmy Buffetts music as well as his bestselling books, Tales From Margaritaville and Where Is Joe Merchant?, here is the ultimate Jimmy Buffett philosophy on life and how to live it. As hard as it is to believe, the irrepressible Jimmy Buffett has hit the half-century mark and, in A PIRATE LOOKS AT 50, he brings us along on the remarkable journey which he took through the Southern hemisphere to celebrate this landmark birthday. Jimmy takes us from the legendary pirate coves of the Florida Keys to the ruins of ancient Cartegena. Along the way, we hear a tale or two of how he got his start in New Orleans, how he discovered his passion for flying planes, and how he almost died in a watery crash in Nantucket harbor. We follow Jimmy to jungle outposts in Costa Rica and on a meandering trip down the Amazon, through hair-raising negotiations with gun-toting customs officials and a 3-year-old aspiring co-pilot. And he is the inimitable Jimmy Buffett through it all. For Parrotheads, for armchair adventurers, and for anyone who appreciates a good yarn and a hearty laugh, here is the ultimate backstage pass -- youll read the kind of stories Jimmy usually reserves for his closest friends and youll see a wonderful, wacky life through eyes of the man who's lived it. A PIRATE LOOKS AT 50 is a breath of fresh air and a ingenious manual for getting to 50 . . . and beyond.

In this intensely personal book, popular singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett leaves his barstool in Margaritaville and does some soul-searching, recounting a life's odyssey that has been funnier and more adventurous than anything he has ever written.

Industry Reviews
"Entertaining...the whole volume is a tribute to Buffett's storytelling skills and his essentially sunny, manana-influenced worldview."
Bulow

"Buffett's material is as evocative as his music."
Bulow
