Unless you've been around it, it's easy to not realize how huge the whole Parrothead thing is. Buffett realized that there's a million aging Boomers pining for some illusory lifestyle of leisure in the tropics and figured out how to get them to part with their money to buy a slice of that idea.
I put Buffett and Harley-Davidson in the exact same category: They exist primarily to sell a dream to Boomers.

Favorite memory: I've heard 'The Sauce Boss', a much smaller Florida institution, plays Margaritaville as a blues number (think 'Heartbreak Hotel') replacing the line 'smell of shrimp they're beginning to boil' with 'smell of shrimp they're beginning to spoil.'
