Well said.
He was always great at Jazz Fest. Esp in 2019 when he came out dressed as a blind ref following the Nola no-call game.

Some of you people are miserable, terrible people. He had some silly songs. But he could write serious stuff too. Pirate looks at 40 is great. This one too.

Love Jimmy and glad I got to see him at Jazzfest before he passed.
Some people let politics drive them over the edge. They used to stay off the OT for the most part, but now they’ve infiltrated all the boards.

Waylon Jennings included a cover of He Went to Paris on one of his albums.
Jimmy wrote voraciously. Songs, books, plays, screenplays… anything.

Awoke to this news on my phone this morning. So much of my youth was listening to and appreciating his tropical vibe. Still have the album I won from a teacher in HS over the '82 Iron Bowl bet. (I would have had to give her a Bob Dylan album if I lost)
Thanks for the fun times, Jimmy.

“Mr. Buffett was also an accomplished author, one of only six writers, along with the likes of Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck and William Styron, to top both The Times’s fiction and nonfiction best-seller lists. By the time he wrote “Tales from Margaritaville” (1989), the first of his three No. 1 best sellers, he had abandoned the hedonistic lifestyle he had previously embraced.
“I could wind up like a lot of my friends did, burned out or dead, or redirect the energy,” he told The Washington Post in 1989. “I’m not old, but I’m getting older. That period of my life is over. It was fun — all that hard drinking, hard drugging. No apologies.”
“I still have a very happy life,” he went on. “I just don’t do the things I used to do.”

Good story.
In Jimmy Buffet’s book “A Pirate Looks at 50” he mentions sailing into a Caribbean port somewhere years ago and seeing a huge sailboat docked in a bay. It was Dylan.
Jimmy hopped on and they started playing some tunes. Dylan had a great influence on Jimmy from a lyrical perspective and he acknowledges it in his book.

Some songs were great and some were awful.
This is where I stand as well .
Some of his lyrics were some of the most atrocious ever set to music.. but no one can say his songs didnt set an entire vibe that brought people much joy over the decades, and as a young guy his music really spoke to me .. also seemed like a genuinely good guy, despite what the PoliBoard hacks want you to believe .

“ Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's
And drinks his green label each day
He's writing his memoirs and losing his hearing
But he don't care what most people say
Through 86 years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile then he'll say
Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I had a good life all the way”

That was a great book. The story about being at his lowest point wondering if he was going to make it in the music industry. He’s laying on his bed pondering his fate and suddenly the ceiling collapses on him. I always admired him for following his heart and living life on his terms.

He was in three films I know of.
Hook as one of the Pirates. Congo as a pilot. Rancho Deluxe (Jeff Bridges movie) as himself on mountains of cocaine singing in a bar, and he wrote the music for that film, including Livingston Saturday Night.

As the son of a son of a sailor
I went out on the sea for adventure
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
Like a man just released from indenture
As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man
I have chalked up many a mile
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
And I learned much from both of their styles
Rest easy, sailor.

This was always one of my favorite lines
"Where it all ends I can't fathom my friends. If I knew I'd just toss out my anchor"
I guess he's anchored up in that one particular harbor in the sky

RIP Jimmy.
Still listen to your music on weekends at the pool.

Son of a son of a Sailor one of my favorites.
Live versions of songs such as Havana Daydreaming are always great.
I liked how he changes verses when performing live. I play Pirate Looks at 40 on piano but use the revised lyric ‘Made enough money to buy Mamou but I pissed it away so fast.’
As others said, he was one of the greatest businessmen and marketing geniuses ever.

Damn did not want my day to start this way. Big Jimmy fan, I attended the first annual parrot head convention in New Orleans back in the 90's.
