Question
I am doing a project on the philosophy of Jimmy Buffett, speciffically focusing on the ocean themes in his lyrics and stories.  Inside the double disk "Meet Me in Margaritaville," Buffet explains where Margaritaville is.  "It is a state of mind that is southeast of disorder....."  Can you tell me what and where Margaritaville is (if you could find that quote it would be fantastic)?  Also, please feel free to include tid bits on Mr. Buffett's easygoing philosophy.  Thanks for your help, this looks to be extremely helpful!

Answer
Jared,
I think what he means is when he wrote the song, his life was a little a little out of control and sailing around the islands he found some tranquility and peace of mind during this wild-life time.  So he's telling folks to make your own "Margaritaville" whenever you feel at peace, relaxed, in a partying mood....basically CHILL

For some interesting factoids and thing related to BUFFETT you should surf over to www.cobo.org GREAT site filled with really cool info....

Good luck with your project....
