I despise the line "I blew out a flip flop" in Margarita Ville runs. I don't know why. I think about a lot.

Yeah but it’s not some big mystery why Margaritaville sucks. The lyrics are asinine and empty. What’s worse: it’s catchy.

Exactly what you want in a beach bar song. Not everything needs to show off how deep and complicated the songwriter is emotionally.

Oh, I agree. I don't know why it bothers me so much. It's just a stupid song. It's happy. I like happy. It's even relatable to me. I've put an unhealthy amount of thought thought into into it.

Having grown up around so many aging parrotheads, I feel your pain here. I was never a fan either. I should have never stepped into this thread because I have found it much more fulfilling to mostly try to reframe my POV about pop culture things I don’t enjoy: it’s my failing to be unable to appreciate it, not the artist’s or the fans. Mix that with a healthy dose of letting people like what they like (as long as it doesn’t hurt others) and the world around you is a much less vexing place. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
