"Come Monday" was at #30 in '74 and Margaritaville hit #8 in '77. Only other chart toppers in '74 that are still around:
- Elton John
- Eric Clapton
- Chicago (are they still recording ???)
- Paul McCartney
Love him or hate him, you can't deny the man is a dynamo shrugged off by the industry. His album sale history alone should get him into the R&R Hall of fame, but also consider:
- NYT BestSelling Author on multiple occasions
- Consistently ranked Top-10 money-making tours
- Owns a national chain of restaurants
- Has the best lawyers in the business on retainer (just try using the words "cheeseburger" and "paradise" in a business slogan....)
If only I could turn my drunken debauchery into a multi-million-dollar-a-year industry ! I admit it, I'm just jealous....
