While in Jamaica a few years ago, Jimmy Buffett's plane was shot at by Jamaican police on January 16, 1996. The plane, named the "Hemisphere Dancer", had been carrying Buffett, U2's Bono, and Island Records producer Chris Blackwell. Police suspected it was smuggling drugs. No one was hurt although there were a few bullet holes in the plane. This event was memorialized in a song by Buffett called "Jamaica Mistaica". Jimmy now owns several restaurants in Jamaica, in Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril, where the "Jamaica Mistaica" incident took place.
