passed away he was 76.

Lived life like a song to the very end.

R.I.P although I thought his music was absolutely awful.

All around good guy. Probably made more from a single song than any other artist. RIP Jimmy

Damn! I knew he'd had a health issue or two lately, but I wasn't expecting him to go already. RIP, Jimmy...

The white yuppie cult that followed him was way worse.

This reminds me, I haven't had a margarita in years.

Wow. I wasn't a Parrothead, never saw a concert, and hated how uncool Margaritaville had become. But, growing up in Florida in the 70s, all the shit he wrote about took me back to that carefree childhood, so I dug the tunes for the minds-eye it gave me.

Gene, Paul, Pete, and Ace could be next.

haha good one.

I just remember around 2010 opening up for Rob Schneider in Tallahassee and when the SUV came to pick us up it WREAKED of what the kids call marijuana and apparently Jimmy Buffet had the car the previous 2 days!

He lived longer than most rappers... he won in life.

The Tommy Bahama rich, as I call them. Old dudes wearing $170 Hawaiian shirts and a Rolex, trying to act like they're really just laid back beach bums.

Plus he was responsible for making Kenny Wayne Chesney happen.

I know this is Sludge, but do you two go through real life this bitter?

Cheeseburger In Paradise had great food. Loved the sliders. Margaritaville, I ate at the one at Navy Pier in Chicago when it first opened. Burger was extremely undercooked, couldn't get the damn waitresses attention to send it back because of how busy they were. Spent the Magnificent Mile walk back to the hotel hoping I wouldn't shit my pants, or later that night at the White Sox stadium.

RIP, I am among those who casually tolerated him and even went to see him at the old Irvine Meadows with some friends who are diehards (wearing a $200 Hawaiian shirt and a Rolex naturally )

I absolutely love the Margaritaville living concept though. I would NEVER EVER move to Florida, but to live with like minded people is a great idea.

Inspired by this I came up with 'Paradise City', which will be up in the mountains somewhere. Haven't decided which state but AZ, CO, CA or MT come to mind. If you are an old fucker who likes the outdoors and loves to RAWK it's for you!!

I just have to get Axl to sign off on it now (he can have 95% of the goodies, I can easily get by on 5%)

Agreed. When in Rome...

Sad day. His run of albums from early 70s to early 80s is pretty awesome. Dozens and dozens of great songs. And what a fun concert

Yeah. It was a really scathing thing I said. I must be just ate the fuck up.

Enjoy your Tommy Bahama shirts, Man. Some of them are very nice.

I thought he was 76 10 or 12 years ago.

Reports are he was diagnosed with skin cancer a few years ago. Stupid sun.

Sun of a sun of a sailor

I bet they're not drinking margaritas or wine coolers.

Or watered-down Bud with a fin on the can.
