One thing I didn't realize until this year is that Steve Goodman and Jimmy Buffet were pretty good friends. The photo of Jimmy Buffet and John Prine (Goodman's best friend) is from a larger photo on the cover of a Steve Goodman album. Goodman wrote Banana Republics (surprised me to learn that) and California Promises; and co-wrote Frank and Lola and Woman Going Crazy on Caroline Street with Buffet. After Steve Goodman died of Leukemia Jimmy Buffet sang the national anthem for the Cubs first playoff game. Goodman was famous for being a huge fan and wrote the Cubs anthem that they still use.

I'll take Sir Paul's for it. Pretty fast company for a jingle writer

It seems that so many wonderful people are leaving this world, and now Jimmy Buffett is one of them. I’ve known Jimmy for some time and found him to be one of the kindest and most generous people.
I remember once on holiday when I had forgotten to bring my guitar and was itching to play. He said he would get me one of his, but I said, ‘I’m left-handed’. So, Jimmy had his roadie restring one of his guitars which he loaned me for the duration of the holiday. He then followed this act of generosity by giving me my own beautiful left-handed guitar that had been made by one of his guitar-making pals. It’s a beautiful instrument, and every time I play it now it’ll remind me of what a great man Jimmy was.
He had a most amazing lust for life and a beautiful sense of humour. When we swapped tales about the past his were so exotic and lush and involved sailing trips and surfing and so many exciting stories that it was hard for me to keep up with him.
Right up to the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humour that said, ‘I love this world and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it’.
So many of us will miss Jimmy and his tremendous personality. His love for us all, and for mankind as a whole.
Last, but not least, is his songwriting and vocal ability. If someone made an interesting remark he repeated it in his gorgeous Louisiana drawl and said, ‘That’s a good idea for a song’. Most times it didn’t take too long for that song to appear. I was very happy to have played on one of his latest songs called ‘My Gummy Just Kicked In’. We had a real fun session and he played me some of his new songs. One, in particular, I loved was the song, ‘Bubbles Up’. And I told him that not only was the song great but the vocal was probably the best I’ve heard him sing ever. He turned a diving phrase that is used to train people underwater into a metaphor for life when you’re confused and don’t know where you are just follow the bubbles - they’ll take you up to the surface and straighten you out right away.
So long, Jim. You are a very special man and friend and it was a great privilege to get to know you and love you. Bubbles up, my friend.
Love, Paul

Awesome story. The world is less bright when a guy like Buffett passes on.

God I love that man.
All hail the king.
We need to enjoy Paul while we still have him, b/c like I've long maintained, the day that Sir James Paul McCartney leaves this realm will be the day that the music truly dies.

I saw Jimmy Buffet about a dozen times in my life. Other bands made more of an impression at the time but I enjoyed his music. Tonight I've been doing a retrospective for a few hours and realize how badly I sold him short. One Particular Harbor in particular, but many, many great songs.
"a jingle writer like Jimmy!" - you, sir, are a complete clown.

He was probably trying to buy JB song catalog

Thanks for the laugh. I despise Dave Matthews.

And not surprised that an imbecile such as you would not grasp the irony of the fact that SirPaul McCartney,OBE is an actual knight. I'd wager that Jimmy could write a jingle with your dumb arse as the point of the joke.

If she’s anything like my wife Jimmy probably put it somewhere he thought it belonged and then she decided it needed to be somewhere else and then moved it but forgot where she put it and denied vehemently that she moved it when Jimmy couldn’t find it.
“Some people claim that they’re a woman to blame…” yep.
“AndI know it’s my own damn fault”. We feel you, pirate.
