Jimmy Buffett Gets High And Mighty About Getting Mighty High

Last week, Page six reported that Jimmy Buffett had been busted with 100 Ecstacy pills at a French airport. Now, Buffett has posted an explanation of what happened on his website, www.margarita-themedshit.org:

I don’t know about you, but at a few months away from turning sixty, I carry a few prescriptions, including a B vitamin supplement, called Foltx…I have never taken [Ecstacy] and couldn’t tell you the difference between a hit of ecstasy and Excedrin PM. My vices these days consist of boat drinks, beer, wine and the occasional hot fudge sundae. I hadn’t even opened the bottle, because my secretary had made a mistake and had sent the wrong prescription. I don’t use Foltx any more…I paid the fine, gathered my bags and my friends and as soon as they opened that door, I walked, rather rapidly towards my plane and flew out.

In the end, I will just chalk it up as being something that will happen if you have an adventurous soul and live a nomad life..I will take my cue from Lord Buckley and keep on singing and laughing. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.

Hey, Jimmy? The next time you get pinched for drug posession overseas, you might not want to end your innocent plea by comparing yourself with a man who once performed for 36 hours while zonked on LSD.
