While being interviewed about the book in 1971, she told the New York Times that she had been a "supergroupie." "Supergroupies don't have to hang around hotel corridors," she said. "When you are one, as I have been, you get invited backstage. I think groupies are important because they demystify sex; they accept it as physical, and they aren't possessive about their conquests."
Just because there are a number of re ed idiots out there that think he was some sort of selfish self-promoter doesn't mean it is true. He did more for the earth in one week than most of those worthless complainers do in a lifetime. them and ty outlook on life, bitter people can't step back and look at the big picture because they are too busy looking for the little things to gripe about.
Hopefully she dies in an equally fitting way for a media , perhaps being hit by a news van or trampled by reporters attempting to cover a bigger dip complaining about something. Perhaps that will bring an end this era where the media is exploited by people who look for things to be indignant about so they can see their names in print in order to feel self important.
Ms. Greer has a number of opinions I disagree with, but she's probably right about this. Regardless of his efforts for conservation, his public "Crocodile Hunter" persona was essentially as she describes (nsfw ads).
Wow...so much for joking with you.
What the did I ever do to you?
Nobody gets his posts, remember? His posts are enigmas wrapped inside of riddle, then topped off with a puzzle. May need a secret decoder ring to catch the gist of his posts.
Actually, I've never had a problem with CC.
I'm used to being called a dumbass and an asshole, but only when it's warranted.
I don't feel this is one of those times, but that's just me. I guess he feels differently.
And according to Jimmy Buffett's usage of "snuff queen," you can't equate it to her not getting laid in awhile since the term is meant (by his admission) as a hooker and maybe even a C&W groupie.
But you know, don't let facts get in the way or anything.
OMG! A radical with a long history of saying things to get a rise out of people, says something radical and y and gets a rise out of people!
Don't give the the attention she craves.
She's just a stupid . That's all. What a bunch of bull calling out Irwin for the way he treated some of those reptiles! Who the cares?! They're reptiles! With reptilian brains! Incapable of cognitive thought!
He brought a lot of attention to the need to protect apex predators. A healthy ecosystem needs its apex predators.
OK, JB...I retract the insults but you are totally wrong about the snuff queen thing. It doesn't mean she is a hooker. It doesn't mean she is a groupie. It doesn't mean she dips copenhagen. It means she is gay and goes snuff snuff snuffin at the Y. And the lyric is actually a poke at guys that hit on hot waitresses and then when they get rejected say"oh well...she must be gay"...
And that is why God invented deer season.
There is always going to be misinformation circulating when unfortunate accidents happen to people as famous as Steve Irwin...
Fisherman will now be quick to kill & collect the stingers of the docile Stingrays out of frustration for taking away one of televisions most likeable personalities...Who can blame them...Those poisonous, serrated edges, make wonderful letter openers and souvenirs....

Why Don't We Get Drunk
(Marvin Gardens 1973)
****1/2
This is another JB Classic that I can remember my dad playing on his guitar when I was a little kid(and interestingly enough this was the first song I memorized when I started learning the guitar last Spring('97)~7 chords...Whoa!). This is a very simple straight-forward song that is often surrounded by contraversy. First off, it's written by Marvin Gardens...for more info on Marvin, check out his web page at the Church of Buffett, Orthodox...Marvin Garden's Homepage.
Another bit of contraversy surrounds a seemingly simple lyric:
"They say you are a snuff queen"
I myself thought it was "snow queen" for the longest time--until I finally read the lyrics on the back of the album cover. Then there's the debate on what is a "snuff queen"? I've heard everything from an "easy girl" or "hooker" to a "girl who won't put out" to a "girl who chews snuff". I always thought it was closer to the middle one, but ¿quien sabe? Over-analyzing isn't always a good thing.
This song has been much maligned lately, at least on the JB listserv. And I can agree that I'm not a big fan of the joke performance this song has become in recent years at the concerts...everything from Little Bo Peep to Why Don't We Get Lunch At School(which I actually thought was kinda cute at first). I now pretty much refer to the song as Why Don't We Get Drunk At School. I know that if he played it straight, at least I would like it more...but the gimmicks definitely don't do much for me.
JB - "This song was written as a piece of total satire when I did my first album in Nashville. I was hearing a lot of very suggestive country songs-in particular, Conway Twitty's Let's Go All The Way. I figured I would write a song that would leave no doubt in anybody's mind. I thought back to a late night in an Atlanta diner where I was eatingand watching this out-of-focus businessman trying to pick up a hooker. That's all the inspiration I needed."
Sorry JB, but I heard it straight from Jimmy Buffet. I was at an outdoor concert at Ft. Bend county fairgrounds in 1976 and Jimmy Buffet was one of the headliners...It started raining and everyone ran for their cars with the exception of a few hardcores...myself and my girlfriend at the time included...Buffet called the concert when it started lightning and announced to the remaining people he was moving the concert inside the little community center there...there were only about a hundred people left by then...he just put a cafeteria chair up on a table and proceeded to do a three hour acoustic set...he talked about writing that song before he sang it and joked about how drunk guys egos make them automatically assume that hot girls that refuse their advances are gay...I was only about 20' away from him at the time and prefer to believe him over your message board sources.
BTW...apologies again for blasting you earlier. I caught a lot of in here at one time for sharing some past escapades and a few posters started insinuating I was making them up and writing parodies of my posts...I related your joke to those times and came out swinging.

Irwin Was a Self-Made 'Wildlife Warrior'
Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News
Sept. 5, 2006 — Steve Irwin may have been best known for his wildly popular Crocodile Hunter series on Animal Planet, but he also dedicated a great deal of time and earnings to wildlife conservation efforts that many people — including some of his closest colleagues and friends — were unaware of.
"Until his death, when we began to go over his work, I hadn't fully appreciated his commitment to conservation," Ginette Hemley, vice president for species conservation at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), told Discovery News.
"Steve Irwin put his money where his mouth was at, and he often did this quietly and effectively with little or no promotion."
She explained that Irwin partnered with the WWF to fund endangered species conservation in Africa and Asia, where he provided "critical support" in Manas National Park, India. That funding was used, in part, to buy field equipment for workers patrolling the forests there against poachers.
Irwin took a special interest in saving tigers, since they remain one of the world's most endangered species.
In Africa, he also assisted the WWF with funding for projects to save cheetahs and other wildlife.
"His efforts got money to the ground level where it was most needed," Hemley said.
Irwin and his wife used money from their Crocodile Hunter earnings to buy wilderness lands in Fiji, Tasmania, the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu and the United States.
In particular, Irwin was devoted to purchasing, and then salvaging, wilderness tracts in his homeland of Australia. There he bought a large region west of Brisbane near the Murray-Darling Basin.
He also purchased land near his Australia Zoo in Beerwah to save the habitats of tree-dwelling marsupials known as gliders, as well as wallabies, snakes, platypuses and other creatures, many native to Australia.
The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service said Irwin expressed an interest in helping its population recovery efforts for the northern hairy-nosed wombat.
rwin also took on smaller projects, such as working with farmers to save an endangered species of python called the woma. His zoo actually paid farmers to report information about the snakes rather than kill them, as was once widely done.
Irwin described himself as "a man in a hurry" who wanted to accomplish as much as he could in his lifetime to save wildlife and support environmental causes.
During a 2003 interview with The Age in Australia, he said, "I consider myself a wildlife warrior. My mission is to save the world's endangered species."
Although his life was cut short by Monday's tragic accident, Irwin's work will continue, according to an announcement today by Michael Hornby, executive director of the Australia Zoo.
"We have an obligation now to do more, and through his legacy we hope more Australians and more people around the world will get into conservation," Hornby said on Australia's Channel 9 Today program.
He added, "Things like the culling of wildlife, which Steve was very passionate (against). That has to stop. We've got to create safer habitats. We've got to carry on the mantle."
This needs a bullet in the head...I hope people boycott her books and threaten to boycott the paper she writes for.
Not only because she is dead wrong, but also because she is an incredibly insensitive piece of to make those comments the day after he died in the manner in which she made them.
I value the opinion of LakerGod and Wolves 009 more than I do this piece of excrement that needs to be scraped off the world's shoe.
All in favor of irony say aye.
Steve Irwin turned animals into rock stars and put conservation on people's minds. ... I salute him.
