Bizarre: Katie Couric Sings Backup for Jimmy Buffett (Yes, Really!)
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (TheBlaze/AP) — Television host and former CBS News anchor Katie Couric is no brown-eyed girl, but she can hold her own singing backup for Jimmy Buffett.

The ABC newswoman and TV personality joined Buffett on stage for several songs Tuesday during a concert in Noblesville, Ind., about 20 miles northeast of Indianapolis.
Couric told WRTV-TV in Indianapolis that she thought it would be a fun, visual “little fling.”
Buffett, who covered and often performs the Van Morrison classic “Brown-eyed Girl” at his shows, says Couric can sing and thinks her performance could be the start of a new career for her.
“She can sing. So, it could be a career starting move for her,” Buffett said. “I don’t think it’s going to be a career-ending move for me.”
Couric has other plans. She’ll launch a new daytime talk show titled “Katie” on Sept. 10. Footage from the event will be featured in the new show.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 6:29amAren’t “parrot heads” part of the “unwashed masses” that Couric looks down her elitist nose and sniffs. Next she’ll be pulling a Madonna for attention….omg, more soggy wompties fighting the good fight….and losing. Was there a line about lipstick on a pig? It applies.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 6:01amI sometimes can’t figure if white people are making a sincere effort to sing or dance or making fun of the handicapped…..either way it’s not entertainment. Maybe Kath should stick to what she knows best…keeping the public ignorant of what Obama’s administration has done to the country.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 5:38amJimmy Buffet is a POS. His lawyer’s basically put a small burger joint out of business in Frederick Maryland several years back………….How you ask? They called their business “Cheeseburger’s in Paradise”……………….lawyers said Buffet has the legal right to that name and were going to take them to court. This was a retired couple that opened up during the warm months in Maryland and closed in the winter and went to Florida. And they were Buffet fans. They sold and moved to Florida permanently. Hey Jimmy, ef you and Bruce, you liberal morons. And to the my state,,,,Maryland, you suck as well.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 2:58amA used-up anti-American liberal hag wandering from one failure to another in the media entertainment kingdom. Unconvincing as a real journalist and a willing fool for progressive political entertainment – she continues to embarrass herself before audiences around the country…

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 12:54amKaty could start a lounge act in the men’s restroom at a Holiday Inn. Listening to her is guaranteed to give just about anyone the schitz. Listeners would be glad to throw her dimes, quarters maybe even some paper money to have her shut up.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 12:06amOh, sure, when a blonde jerks her hips, opens her mouth and emanates a few sounds slightly better than a crow, it’s immediately said: “She can sing…”
Sure, screaming and croaking are called singing in our country last 40 years

Posted on August 1, 2012 at 11:36pmYou won’t find a greater group of people than Parrotheads! Conservatives and liberals, they are some of the best people I’ve ever met and had the great pleasure to be around. They can put all the garbage aside for a few hours and throw the best party you can imagine. They got a ton of donations and put together a huge party for the troop, I believe it was $1000 just for the lights alone. Jimmy had one of the greatest shows I ever heard, it was in Noblesville in 2001. The first show after 9/11 There are copies of that show online, I still get chills thinking about it. The emotions from the fans, Jimmy and the band were incredible. Jimmy could barely hold himself together through Tin Cup Chalice, amazing moment. If I was so close minded about everything I ever enjoyed at one point I would never have anything left in my life to enjoy.

Posted on August 1, 2012 at 11:28pmJust a little near flashback to the good old days in the ’90s when at least one of Jimmy’s backup singers was doing Ted Kennedy.
