PROGRAM: Jimmy Buffett Uncut: 60 Minutes Special (Edit) INTERVIEWER: Steve Kroft NETWORK: CMT / CBS DATE: Saturday, Feb. 19, 2004 With never-before-seen footage from a recent in-depth interview with '60 Minutes' correspondent Steve Kroft. Buffett discusses his life and career including growing up in Mobile, Ala.; the inspiration that drew him to music; his early days in Key West; and of course Parrotheads.
