Songs

"Jamaica Mistaica" is about an incident in Jamaica on January 16, 1996 in which local authorities mistook Jimmy's seaplane, the Hemisphere Dancer, for a smuggling operation. The plane was shot at while carrying Buffett, U2's Bono, and Island Records producer Chris Blackwell. No one was injured, though there were several bullet holes in the plane.[2] (The plane itself is now on display at Universal CityWalk, across from Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant.) "Desdemona's Building a Rocketship" concerns the character Desdemona from Buffett's 1992 novel Where Is Joe Merchant? The song "False Echoes" (Havana 1921) references the ship captained by Jimmy's grandfather, the five masted barkentine, Chickamauga, named after the civil war vessel the CSS Chickamauga.[3]
