Out of respect I will mix a pitcher of margaritas, grab my pellet gun and go hold up a fillin’ station. But come Monday I’ll be alright. RIP Jimmy

I remember him from my days at southern miss. He would sit outside the dorm room and never go to class and some people said he would never make it in this world
Funny how people give their opinion just based on their own life. He was a nice easy going care free individual and I’m sorry he’s gone.

... and Keith Richards is still alive (and making babies).

Sounds like a good reason to have a big cheeseburger and a margarita this weekend. I’ve got some legal hemp flower to smoke too.

Some of its magic, some of its tragic
But I had a good life all the way.

This one hurts. I’m not but 40 and grew up listening to Buffett with my father.

Fair winds and following seas Last Mango.

Jimmy Buffet? Nooooooooo, not Jimmmmmmmy. Nooooooooooooo.

Burp.

Cheeseburger medium well.

He was a stand up guy. After the terrible crash (230 souls lost) of TWA 800 off Long Island, he, without prompting, set up a free concert for the folks recovering remains and diving and bringing up that plane. All free, food, everything. Even brought in guest acts. He was well thought of by the rich and the poor.

He had one of his many homes down the beach, but the guy was genuinely decent soul. A billionaire who deserved every cent. And he has many millions, not just parrotheads, mourning him today.

Rest in Cheeseburger Paradise.

He loved manatees and he loved weed.

He was my favorite in the 70s and 80s. Pretty sure I had every album he did in that time frame. Probably saw him in concert more often than any other artist.

Keith Richards may still be makin babies, but they’ll reap what he’s seen. Keith Richards LMAO

Coupla my favorites come to mind: Son of a Son of a Sailor & Biloxi.

I have a great memory of going to see him at what is now Thalia Mara, I guess in the mid-70s. Half full at most. He had one album out, and one hit: "Come Monday." He was by himself, and asked us to imagine the Coral Reefer Band playing back-up, so Fingers Taylor wasn't there. Boston Blackie; stolen TV and getting caught at the Krystal; LA haze. It is a wonderful memory of an amazing young star-to-be.

It is the rare dude who is special enough not to get ripped apart by JJ posters, even in death. Not a single jack ass post. Says loads about the man.

He was more popular later on than he was in his first run. Same can be said for other acts.

Still can't get over what Depeche Mode is charging for NOLA concert.

I'm sitting here in my living room wasting away again in Jimmy Buffettville.

Ate a huge cheeseburger for dinner, about to roll a J and blast a Pirate Looks at 40. RIP Jimmy. Legend!

Saw Buffett in late 90’s was a great show. Planning on going to see DM in Vegas Dec 1 for their second time thru this year at T-Mobile. U2 will be at the Sphere that same night so town ought be extra rocking

"I have a great memory of going to see him at what is now Thalia Mara, I guess in the mid-70s. Half full at most."

That sounds like Dan Fogleberg at Millsaps in their auditorium. 500 folks maybe. Buffett, Dan, Eagles and Jackson Brown could fill up a whole day for me. If feeling really edgy, might go with a little Mountain with Leslie West and Felix Pappalardi. Nantucket Sleighride ring a bell?

Folks, stay out of the sun. The sun's rays are undefeated.

It’s 5 o’clock in…Heaven!

The link provided in the first post doesn't mention that he graduated with a history degree from University of Southern Mississippi. Only mentions he attended university.

Article also mentions his being a Grammy Nominee. Is it possible he never won a Grammy? That would be unbelievable.

Jimmy was one of a kind. Pilot, sailor, writer, and one great entertainer. I saw him several times at the coliseum, had every one of his early albums. It hit me especially hard since we were, are, the same age.

The one thing I learned from him, is don't dream or wish you did something, just do it. Risk makes life more fun. Most of all keep close to your family. And 11:00 PM, I don't know if he died of melanoma, but as a patient undergoing immunotherapy it's not the death sentence it used to be. IF you catch it early.

J B, God Speed and fair winds.

Buffett was always in tune with his audiences. I saw him at the Star Lake Amphitheater in Burgettstown, PA. It was right after local Kurt Angle won Olympic gold in wrestling. He brought him up on stage and let him play congas for a couple of songs.

Living and dying in 3/4 time…. RIP Jimmy!!
Strong winds and trailing tides!!!

His few television appearances on SNL, Letterman, and Carson are trending on YouTube. I’m amused with how he handled Letterman trying to get him to admit to using drugs on TV during the Reagan administration.

I'm wondering if Leach-The Pirate ever met Buffett-The Pirate. Both were heavy into Florida sand, bar stools and flip flops.

They definitely had met.

Highly probable that their paths crossed, most likely at Captain Tony's. https://therebelwalk.com/2022/12/remembering-the-pirate-legendary-coach-mike-leach-passes-away/
