R.I.P. Jimmy Buffett. Thanks for years of music.

Jimmy Buffett died 9/1/2023. Few musicians/songwriters have effected my life like Buffett did. I saw him 4 times. I was hoping for a 5th.

Just saw this myself. Wasn't a huge fan, but definitely an impactful musician. He had been in and out of the hospital for a few months now. A sad loss to the world of music, that's for sure.

I built a bunch custom rattan furniture for him when he moved to Palm Beach years ago. Didn't get to meet him.

Only one big hit but it was a good one

I think there were a few more, but maybe they didn't chart as well.

Margaritaville was his biggest hit. But there were so many great songs.

I suppose I am just not a big Buffett fan because none of the songs on your list ring my bell

But I do like Margaritaville

Dozens of big hits.

As he said many times, he never won any awards for his music but millions turned out to attend his concerts and buy his music. I saw him first here in Tallahassee in 1972. A gymnasium on the Florida State University campus. Many, many times since. I will miss him.

And that legendary love song!

"Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw"!

Margaritaville was beyond a powerhouse hit. It was like a blowtorch. When you have a hit like that you don't need many others. But he did keep pumping out albums and had a fanbase that kept buying them for sure.

His "Parrotheads" were as dedicated as those that followed the Grateful Dead. He claimed Mobile, Al as his hometown and since it's mine as well, I always watched his career. I had no idea he'd been such a successful businessman as well as a touring musician.
He's leaving behind a legacy few can boast of. He'll be missed.

I’m not criticizing anyone who likes Buffett

But other than one song he’s not on my radar

Holy crap, I love Jimmy. "One Particular Harbour" is my favorite song. They'll play it at my funeral.

Wow.

That'd be Gordon Lightfoot, not Jimmy Buffett.

Everybody likes what they like.

I listened to Buffett a lot back in the late 1970s. The soundtrack to my youth. And dancing with my 4 year old daughter to Chason Pour Les, with her standing on my feet.

I saw him in concert in 2018 in New Orleans. It was sweltering hot that day, but worth it. A great entertainer.

Two great musicians who passed this year.

Sucks. RIP!

I never liked him because the sonofabitch was a big Democrat supporter. Especially the Clintons and Obamas.

Kinda like that Bruce Springsteen asshole.
