For the last thirty years, Jimmy Buffett had more in common with Warren Buffett than some pirate troubadour myth he sold.
Correct. He quit being Jimmy Buffett (NOT Buffet which is food) and became a soulless corporate whore the minute he moved from key west. Highly overrated musician.

He should have kept making country, the soundtrack to Rancho Delux is awesome.

The problem with Jimmy Buffet was that his songs which were actually good (like spider John) were not the popular ones
That was a very good one, but it is actually a cover of a Willis Alan Ramsey song. (I like JB's version better by the way).
I agree that his best songwriting was on his early records. They are full of great stories that no one ever hears because they never saw the radio.
A lot of people dismiss Jimmy Buffett as just having a few beach/party songs and a name brand, but he was actually a great songwriter/story teller, and extremely intelligent.

Bob Dylan is on record stating that Jimmy Buffett was his favorite American songwriter.

And Jerry Jeff Walker was the one who drove him to Key West.
Jerry Jeff was a mentor to Jimmy in the early years. Buffet ended up in Nashville as a singer-songwriter at one point primarily because he was following Jerry Jeff.
Then Jerry Jeff moved to Cocoa Beach, and Jimmy made a trip to Florida to hang out. That’s when they made the trip to Key West.
They both bounced around on the Gulf Coast touring circuit playing college towns and cities. Jerry Jeff ended up settling in Austin and helped establish the Outlaw Country movement there, while Buffet settled in Key West and built his own movement.

This is the dream.

I think that’s called being a good capitalist.

I'm from Key West. I spent a good bit of my childhood (70's) riding my bike up and down Caroline Street.

There’s a lot of myth and legend spun in with the true stories that most certainly could be intertwined into an enjoyable documentary or bio pic.
The struggling young artist of the 60s and 70s, who turned into a corporate mogul himself, could be a bitter, sweet spin on a story. I get that, but they could always wrap it up with the look back toward the nostalgia that connected so many people at his concerts.
They really were fun times.
