John Prine, Steve Goodman and Yes Jimmy Buffett were close friends. Jimmy Buffett's 1973 album A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean had the infamous song " why don't we get drunk and screw". Pretty edgy for the times and that's where the forbidden comes in. Jimmy is none other that Jimmy Buffett a.k.a Marvin Gardens. Just Google Steve Goodman's album "Someone Else's Trouble" and look at the cover photo. John Prine and Marvin Gardens a.k.a Jimmy Buffett standing side by side. That's also why you hear the more tropical background tune in the song. Without a doubt it's Jimmy Buffett.
