The man who lived for summer, dies as summer is coming to a close. Sad.
Sad news indeed. A legendary man in music and business, building an empire through his endeavors.
RIP.
Incredible empire he built for an average musician, but he found a niche on a visit to Key West as a 23 year old

He cancelled his tour around this time last year due to illness. I got to see him in Key West this past February, then he did another show or 2 before going back to the hospital. I never knew what his illness was but I'd assume cancer since he's been battling for at least a year. RIP to a great entertainer.... And yes, average musician but a pretty good songwriter.
My senior year we had four guys in a 4 bedroom apartment. One of the guys had a BIG DATE on a Saturday night. He spent all day Friday cleaning the bathroom, kitchen and living room.
The trophy girlfriend shows up and they are hanging with beers on the LR couch. All according to plan, so far. About a half hour in, my roommate, who I still keep in contact with, starts the turntable with "Why Don't We Get Drunk." Last time we all saw the girl. I will never forget it.

I hope to hear a lot of Jimmy's songs in the tailgate lots tomorrow as a tribute.
RIP
I hope his paradise really is filled with a beach & cheeseburgers

RIP. Summer always meant Buffet at the Garden State Arts Center. I met him in Hong Kong. He yelled at me for interrupting his dinner.
Scott Ian from Anthrax had a podcast called never meet your heroes. My interactions with musicians I have been a fan of fit that podcast name, and I did not interrupt anybody's meal. Buffet seemed like a very happy guy, but everyone has their moments.
This one hurts,
Soundtrack of many summers at my parents pool surrounded by family, friends, food and drinks.

The son of a son of a sailor. A brilliant song writer. Iāve been to several shows and always had a great time. I will be playing JB all weekend.
Great story teller who connected with so many people. One entertainer I am sorry I never saw live in person. RIP on your forever beach paradise Jimmy
I apologized and he said "that's okay. I was just hungry".
Somehow this guy got Buffet to come to HK and do a concert in a gym. Jimmy wanted to sell his tequila at the show, but they told him he needed a license, so he just made it free. Hung out at his show by the drinks table and made margueritas. Great time.
Fun fact, Elvis was offered the chance to record Margaritaville first. Jimmy probably thanked his lucky stars that never transpired.
Hah, had Steve Tyler interrupt our dinner once in Bermuda while on our honeymoon lol. He had shown up without a tie and they made him put one on.
I had a light colored tie. He said that guys isnāt wearing one. He was behind me, had no idea who it was. So I turned around and showed my tie and said maybe say it a little louder.
Then I realized who it was. He laughed, we chatted for a few seconds and then back to our respective dinners.
The next couple in was seated next to them and the girl totally lost it. Not cool.
RIP jimmy
I never got him - sang pretty much typical country songs about alcohol and getting knackered.
Reminded me of a singer in a divorcee bar.

Yep. Not a fan.
Sad that he's gone....but never enjoyed his tune.
Actually ate at one of his places in the Montego Bay airport. The food wasn't bad.

Facing the Battle From Skin Cancer to Lymphoma
Jimmy Buffettās diagnosis in 2019 revealed skin cancer. Over time, this escalated to lymphoma. Whatās deeply touching is Buffettās decision to keep this battle largely private, sharing only snippets with the media. His approach towards the ailment was optimistic, revealed in a 2021 interview where he mentioned he was ādoing wellā and living āone day at a time.āhttps://coopwb.in/info/jimmy-buffett-died-from-lymphoma/
Nice tribute by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jules last nightNo more Labor Day weekend shows for Jimmy.
