Jimmy Buffet has died

Wow. That hits different.
Like you have no idea. I'm so glad I got to see him in Austin last summer.

So many songs, so many memories. The trips to Alpine Valley with the fellas, the tailgating, the debauchery, the good vibes.

Can't think of any "celeb" deaths that felt the same.

We could tell stories for hours, but I guess you had to be there.
Wife got me Buffett: Backstories for Fathers Day...just finished it a few weeks ago.

Like hockey, soccer and country music, I gave Jimmy Buffet music a few tries, wanting to like it because it felt like everyone else did. Just never did it for me, but I respected him as an entertainer who seemed to make a lot of people happy. RIP
 
I’ll be listening to his channel on Sirius for a few weeks. Loved his music. I was hoping to get to see one more concert.
I had just said about a month ago….”I want to see Jimmy at Alpine one more time before he hangs it up…”

Guess I waited one year too long…

One of my favorites!
Same. I also have these on vinyl:

Coconut Telegraph
Songs You Know By Heart
Changes in Latitudes
Floridays
Living and Dying....
Son of Sailor
Life on the Flipside
Last Mango
Volcano
One Particular Harbor

My CD collection has more to include Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads, but I want everything on vinyl.
 
He and Steve go cubs go Goodman were friends and Steve made Jimmy a Cub fan. Work at night, spend day at Wrigley.

I actually saw JB play a short set in support of candidate John Kerry 2004.
 
Supposedly, “we are the people (our parents warned us about” was dedicated to Podolak.

Not sure if that has ever been proven or not.

“Alone on a midnight passage
I can count the falling stars
While the Southern Cross and the satellites
They remind me of where we are
Spinning around in circles
Living it day to day
And still 24 hours may be 60 good years
It's really not that long a stay”

He was pretty damn accurate in that prediction.
