Jimmy Buffett Wins Jazz Fest, Comes Out as Blind NFL Referee
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival wrapped up at the fairgrounds yesterday and as always there were many memorable moments over the two weeks of performances.
But there was one moment that was the most social media buzz-worthy. And that distinction went to New Orleans favorite Jimmy Buffett.
Buffett strutted on to the Acura Stage yesterday in a bit of a costume while being escorted by a couple of pretty ladies.
Yep, that's how you do it if you're a big New Orleans Saints fan!
As you can see in the video, Buffett strolled onto the stage dressed as a blind referee with a walking stick while being escorted by a couple of Saintsations.
He threw a flag and then shed his get-up for his custom beach-like attire.
Well played Jimmy, well played.
