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

[Jimmy_Chitwood]

That'd be Gordon Lightfoot, not Jimmy Buffett.

I must be thinking of Taxi Driver

 

[Concerned American]

Love this and "God's Own Drunk".

And a FEARLESS MAN! I have a number of favorites--A Pirate Looks at Forty, He Went to Paris are among them.

I’m not criticizing anyone who likes Buffett

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

Your loss.

 

[Mac-7]

You might want to listen to his stuff, he was good. Not just as a performer, but a songwriter as well. It's rare to be both, Dylan was a great songwriter, but a horrible performer, I can't listen to that nasal voice of his, it takes all the enjoyment out of his songs and lyrics.

20 or 30 years from now Buffett will only be remembered for one song

 

[Mac-7]

Your loss.

Could be

But its my choice

Which one? Cheeseburger in Paradise? Margaritaville? Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants? Floridays? A Pirate Looks at 40? Let's Get Drunk and Screw? ---

R.I.P.

Loved your song.

I tend to doubt that unless something erases all digital music. People are still listening to stuff from the fifties. Jimmie wasn’t a one hit wonder.

I think he will be remembered for more than one. "A Pirate Looks at 40" is one that has lasted.

The Parrotheads will keep the songs alive.

Margaritaville

By people like you, sure. But for people (and their children, and their grandchildren) who looked beyond that mediocre hit and learned what else was there in the catalogue, he will be remembered for many more...

Actually, when his fans who appreciated his in-person concerts die its all over for buffett except for his one big hit

It will take longer than that. His fan base tended to be generational. Parents took the kids, those kids took their kids, and so on. I also imagine they will continue to pass on their love for his music without the live shows. And it wasn't just the live shows, I got my kids hooked long before I took them to a live show.

Then you have the restaurants, the resorts, the cruise ship (which I hear could be much better than it is), the campgrounds, the casinos, and even the retirement villages... that one, mediocre song built quite a little empire...

Of course only time will tell, and I doubt either one of us will be around to see which of us is right.

Have they? Have rare forms of cancer exploded since the shots were administered? Got a link showing that to be a fact and not just paranoia?

Researchers report dramatic rise in cancer in people under 50

Altered microbiome, lack of sleep seen as possible culprits in 30-year global increase among under-50 adults.

Other stories regarding higher cancer rates have been suppressed by our masters, just as stories of the high efficacy of Ivermectin were suppressed, but you would rather look the other way on that topic.

I'd rather look at actual evidence instead of just wild claims.

You can't because your eyes are wide shut. Your mind won't let you examine facts that contradict your worldview.

My eyes are wild open. My worldview is open.

But when asked for evidence of a claim, saying "...stories regarding higher cancer rates have been suppressed by our masters" is just conspiracy theory nonsense.

Margaritaville

In my opinion

Your opinion is myopic and based on limited exposure.
