JIMMY BUFFETT IS GONE

[Household6]

Our family is numb.

Jimmy Buffett, 'Margaritaville' Singer Who Turned Island Escapism Into an Empire, Dead at 76

The singer-songwriter behind “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise” became a shrewd businessman while always radiating beach-friendly cool

Play his songs and he will be with you for eternity.

Play his songs and he will be with you for eternity.

That’s a given.
It’s a rare day he doesn’t come up on our play lists.

Fins up!

His XM channel is one of the first 5 presets in my car. For good reason.

We’re lifting a glass to him right now (I know, it’s raspberry, but it’s delicious).

Has anybody checked on @woodyp ? He probably shouldn't be alone right now.

Just need to add a date to the Pirate Parrot sipping a margarita. As a matter of fact, I was drinking one as I got that! Thanks Jimmy.

Big sad at our house.

 

[woodyp]

I predict booze in the blender

 

[Newdude]

Another round of brew, please.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I watched a video on YT of some guy visiting each and every one of the Margaritavilles.

Paradise gained another cheeseburger.

Best one I "remember" was on Grand Cayman. Did the original in Key West.

I’ll give him kudos for a long-spanning career in an industry that usually corrupts people and destroys their abilities and I won’t speak ill of the dead, but, being honest, never had much taste for his brand of music. It just elicits faded memories of me working in a sleepy bar late with smell of spilled beer on a Saturday night ….

Rest In Peace Mr. Buffet and I hope you have finally found your lost salt shaker

Should have been more careful drinking beer@ Down to Xmas Island cd today.

That’s hard-core. You win.
I’ve thought of doing a small but fitting tribute in our sunroom to him. He provided many good memories at concerts (well, actually the tailgating prior to concerts where we did a fair amount of fundraising for breast cancer in parking lots), Any Thing, Any Time, Any Where was our first dance at our wedding, many friends acquired in his company, even have a cruise planned in Oct ‘24 with Jim Asbell. Still doesn’t seem real, but life continues.
