I know it’s not technically pop, but there’s been a lot of comparisons between Taylor Swift’s Eras tour and Jimmy Buffett’s career trajectory. A huge impact on the music industry.

I hope he finally found his missing salt shaker.
No pop tops to step on in the afterlife!
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.
Buffett was like a vanilla Grateful Dead. He sold a lifestyle that people wanted.
Tooling around the Caribbean in a flying boat sounds pretty awesome
It was pop at one point.

Sad day! nothing better than being at the beach or on a boat blaring Jimmy Buffett. I saw him once in an arena, and had always hoped to see him at a outdoor performance some day.
There’s literally THOUSANDS of things better
Nope. Maybe you need a bigger boat?
Ok Boomer
every single one of his fans is an ignorant Trump supporting moron

Facts!
orange man bad. And his fans are called “Parrot Heads” actually.
saying “orange man bad” in response to that is something a childish Trump voter would do. i don’t give a fuck about that turd… his moron supporters are morons forever, and they show it in everything they do and care about…
Buffet was lazy and selfish, his music was lazy and selfish, it suits Trumpers perfectly
R u ok
it’s funny, when you say things like this that hurt their feelings, Trumpers immediately try to project their pain and sadness on you… they’re hilarious little chimps…
I’m here for you friend, we will make it through this together.
and i’ll bet you’re just as good a friend as Trump… there in every kind of fair weather… listening to Buffet…
Bobby… did he you know…touch you in your no-no square??
