Talk:Parrothead

Unsourced
I removed "The term "Parrotheads" originated at Timber Wolf amphitheater in Kings Island Cincinnati Ohio, in 1985." from the article for being unsourced. I'm suspicious of such specific claims of the origin of words. Friday (talk) 14:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

This is the first I have ever seen a reference to AZ as the origin of "parrothead", all previous tellings of the origin story mention Cincinnati. specifically the Timber Wolf, since the shows performed during in 1985 in Cincinnati were at that location.

"This is what Jimmy Buffett has to say about how the origin of Parrot Heads:

“Timothy B. Schmidt (Eagles bass player) was in the band, and we were playing a venue outside of Cincinnati called King’s Island. People had already started wearing Hawaiian shirts to our shows, but we looked out at this Cincinnati crowd, and they were glaringly brilliant to the point where it got our attention immediately. I said “Look at that!” Then Schmidt says to me, “They look like deadheads in tropical suits. They’re like PARROT HEADS!”, he yelled to me in the middle of a song. So I immediately took the term and threw it over the microphone – the people identified themselves with the term from the get-go.”" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.27.46 (talk) 22:01, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
