I honestly thought he had died years ago.
This honestly strikes me as odd. I understand you may not have liked his music, but he released a new album in 2020 and was actively touring earlier this year. What made you think he had died? Or do you just assume everyone you haven’t heard from lately is dead?
shrug He was old and barely on my radar, so I think it’s not so much as I thought he was dead as I had never thought about it one way or another and was kinda surprised he wasn’t already dead.
I only thought he had the one song from a billion years ago. Shrug. Never listened to anything else.
Same.
Nope. He was alive that whole time and you both squandered it.
Eh, never was much of a fan of his anyway 🤷
Blew out a flip flop stepped on a pop top
u ok?
I think he cut his heel and had to cruise back home
Sadly, no
I didn’t really listen to his music, but by all accounts he was an amazing and kindhearted person. Rest in Peace, king.
Hopefully he is having a cheeseburger in paradise now
RIP Jimmy Buffet.
Year’s ago I was at a Margaritaville with my dad in Orlando when Jimmy walked into the bar and played a set for everyone. It was truly an awesome experience and I’m glad I got to see him.
I was introduced to Jimmy Buffett through Margaritaville and Come Monday playing on the radio; I don’t think I’d ever even heard Cheeseburger in Paradise. When I started collecting music, Songs You Know By Heart was one of the first albums I ever bought - and I was hooked. I bought Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads on cassette and it was on constant rotation; I listened to Bars so much the cassette broke, and I had to move the magnetic tape inside to another shell so I could keep listening to it. Then I went to my first concert in Irvine, where he sang “I Love the Now”, and knew there was so much more to experience. His music kept me going through some of the darkest parts of my life; when I was thrown out of the house at 15, Jimmy’s music was there. Through depression, anxiety, stress, his music was a light in the darkness. I will mourn that I never got to take my daughter and sons to one of his concerts, and help connect them to that part of my life; I will mourn that I never got to think him personally for everything he’s done for me. But I will celebrate his life and his music, because even if I never got to meet him in person, never got to shake his hand and say “Thank you”, my life wouldn’t be what it is without Jimmy Buffett.
Thank you, Jimmy.
Come Monday, it won’t be alright
It’s hard to realize I’ll never go to another one of his concerts
I hope he plays the Piña Colada song!
