Sad, some of my favorite concerts memories were from his shows/tailgates.
Wow. Sad news to read this morning. I'll sit this one out. RIP Jimmy! Go have a cheeseburger and margarita in paradise.
Just, damn….. His music had a way turning a bad day into a good one.

Sad for me to hear this. Apparently had been coming for a while.
I attended ~25 of his concerts, all but one in Cincy, first at Timber Wolf at Kings island before he really got big and then at Riverbend. Went to four (of five) there one year. He made a live album between those concerts and ones in Atlanta the same year.

He was something! And lived life his way. Rest in peace Jimmy
Tonight's dinner will be cheeseburgers and margaritas, in his honor.
RIP. It just doesn't feel right that Warren Buffett gets to outlive Jimmy Buffett.
Stopped here today for one of these in Jimmy’s memory
"Jimmy Buffett’s official website has revealed the musician and mogul’s cause of death.
Buffett, 76, died at home Friday in Sag Harbor on Long Island, New York, from skin cancer, according to an obituary posted to the site.
He had been battling Merkel cell skin cancer for four years, which the National Cancer Institute describes as a rare carcinoma which usually appears as a single painless lump on sun-exposed skin and tends to metastasize quickly. It is second to melanoma as the most common cause of skin cancer death."

Hate to hear but his music was never my cup of tea. RIP. Had a lot of loyal fans so good for him. Just never 'got' him.
I’d argue it makes perfect sense.
RIP, always a kind person who tried to do right by his fans.
Where was the bar that inspired 'Margaritaville'?
Various stories in the Statesman archives say "a Mexican restaurant on Anderson Lane." More than one source online says it was Lung's Cocina del Sur, at 2700 W. Anderson Lane, now home to High 5 Austin, a bowling alley.That's Cadiz, not Paradise.

I see a pepper shaker but not salt shaker in that picture. Nice subtle touch.

They've been doing some great tributes on the Sirius/XM Margaritaville station. I had forgotten about a few of these songs my buddy in HS used to play a lot when we'd be swimming at his pool in the summertime. He was the only Buffett fan I knew at the time, an older soul whose dad kinda led this idealized Buffett lifestyle. I was a fan of a couple deep cuts like "Wonder Why We Ever Go Home" and "Something Feminine About A Mandolin." He had a bunch of really well-crafted songs outside of the goofier numbers.
