WHERE DID THE TERM "PARROTHEAD" COME FROM?
The term "Parrothead" began in 1985 at a Jimmy Buffett concert at the Timberwolf Amphitheater at King's Island amusement park outside of Cincinnati, OH. Buffett has said numerous times that he attributes much of his fame to this area. This term essentially means that one is a fan. At the show, Jimmy commented about everyone wearing Hawaiian shirts and parrot hats and how they kept coming back to see his shows, just like Deadheads. Timothy B. Schmit, then a member of the Coral Reefer Band (now with the Eagles), coined the term "Parrothead", to describe each of those fans. |
