Sad day for Parrot Heads the world over. I'm not a member but know quite a few and they do much for the communities that they live in. Jimmy was one of the good guys. I'm sure there will be more than a few Monster Margaritas lifted in his memory today.
Rest in peace Mr. Buffett. Condolences to your family.
I saw Jimmy Buffet in concert as a student at UGA in the late ‘70’s…..had never been “high” before or since, but the cloud of “smoke” in Stegeman was intoxicating!
Rest in Peace, sir, you will be well-remembered!
His music has always been a "fit" for me - I think because it so relaxed and I ain't. My favorite is A Pirate Looks At 40. Before I turned 40 it had special meaning. Now, I hear it and think what in the world is going on.
Wore out the B side of A1A album on my old girard turntable back in the day. If you haven't heard, I still highly recommend.
agree.
That song and "He Went to Paris" are my favorites, as they match with my penchant for introspection, though I am not nearly as interesting as either of those songs' subjects. 😂
Jimmy's been a part of my life for 38 years.
Heard the news 1st thing this morning and had a good cry. Sure to have another good cry tonight after the rum starts flowing and BuffettTunes are cranking after the game!
RiP Jimmy
I bet those cheeseburgers are good in paradise. RIP
And, yet, you are the most likely to write a book on unwritten rules. Don't be so hard on yourself!!
I saw Jimmy play at the Great Southeast music hall and Lakewood long ago, but my favorite memory was in Athens. I was going on my first deer hunt the next day with a guy I tended bar with in Atlanta. We stopped at I think Smokes ?? where his brother tended bar to pick him up and head to their property. I'm sitting at the table with the 4 other guys in our party and I hear this voice that seems familiar right behind me at the next table. I turned around and lo and behold it's Jimmy Buffett! He was very gracious, wish we had cell phones then! RIP Jimmy I will be having a margarita later in your honor.
Me too…saw him in Dallas for the first time in 1981, been hooked since. I rarely cry, but will say I shed a tear this AM when I heard; it seems I’ve pursued the Margaritaville lifestyle ever since that concert, and now the ultimate example has passed!
I love the songs both @donniem and @CigarDawg mentioned, but immediately went to “Growing Older but Not Up” and the line “I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead” when I heard the news. JB certainly personified that premise, I hope I can do the same.
RIP Jimmy Buffet…my prayers and condolences are with the Buffet family and Parrothead Nation.
Jimmy Buffett was one of my favorite musicians and celebrities of all time. Rest in peace, Jimmy… I will miss you. 🥲
We saw him a few years back in Miami. He and the Coral Reefer Band led off for the Eagles......great show!
Buffet looked like he was still having a lot of fun!
