Very sad. He brought joy to a lot of people. The mark of a wonderful life. My wife and I made the annual pilgrimage to his concert in Texas for several years until his tour here I believe in 21.
Haven't' seen him in concert since the 70's. Eagles/Jimmy Buffet - Tampa Stadium. So much pot the cops gave up...
He was a hero of mine. He was who he was and turned it into a lifestyle and turn billion dollar business. He was a huge supporter of the Florida environment.
RIP Jimmy Buffet. The oldest surfer on the beach is gone... (One of my favorite songs of his).
Years ago I heard a story about a group of Cuban refugees on a raft that washed ashore at Jimmy's home. Imagine landing in America and seeing Jimmy Buffett heading down to the beach with a tray of margaritas.
Bubbles Up is a great song. Written recently and just released this past Friday, it is taken as final message to Parrot Heads. Paul McCartney, who I did not know was close friends with JB and his wife, called it the best song Jimmy ever wrote.
