Like so many other Gulf-Coastal natives, I claim Jimmy Buffett as a native son. So much of his music was a constant for me growing up and still speaks to me today. The themes of his songs – care-free, tropical, adventorous, living life to the fullest – represented so much that I always thought was just beyond my grasp but oh so sought after. His ability to use lyrics, words and turn of phrases, I found inspiring, insightful and, yes, intelligent in its way. The song above, “Happily Ever After (Now and Then)” is one such song. It’s not about constant elation, it’s about reaching the peak just enough times to be content.
