30 years ago today … June 28, 1985 in Cincinnati, Ohio during the “Sleepless Knights Tour” at the Timberwolf Amphitheater (Kings Island). Jimmy Buffett commented that the fans who were returning each year in costumes were reminiscent of Deadheads. Timothy B. Schmit (who also played bass for the Eagles) replied, “yea Jimmy, Parrotheads”. Jimmy repeated it to the crowd… and the rest is history.
