Come Monday, Jimmy Buffet's Still Living Down His National Anthem Clown Act

Really? A mic-drop after botching the National Anthem? What was Jimmy Buffet thinkng?

Pardon me if I take this moment away from Sunshine State News to join the cascade of football fans who took to Twitter Sunday to express their disgust at "Margaritaville" legend Buffet for his offensive dramatics in New Orleans before the start of the Saints-Rams football playoff 

When you're a scratchy-voiced 72-year-old trying to hide that your vocal chords' glory days are 20 years in the rearview, and you're singing the world's most challenging national anthem without hitting the high notes, why on earth would you want to embarass yourself and insult patriotic fans with a comedy-show mic-drop?

If I were you, Jimmy, I'd slip on a Mardi Gras mask before I sailed out of town.
