So it’s been 8 days since #JimmyBuffet sailed on to his one particular harbor. In that time, I have been listening to his music a lot and actually found much needed positivity online-a community of mourners-people who understand. For me, raised on Jimmy, this has been as hard as Jerry’s passing. Whether you liked him or not, he truly was a national treasure (much like our beloved Dolly Parton-very successful and doing good works wherever there was a need). As Jimmy sang, legends never die.
Tonight's dinner: a Jimmy Buffett memorial cheeseburger.

Didn't know that #PaulMcCarney & #JimmyBuffet were close friends. Paul has a touching tribute to him on Insta. Paul plays on a new Jimmy song coming out the 8th. He mentioned another new song he particularly likes: "Bubbles Up" Paul told Jimmy it was the best his vocals had ever sounded.
Paul played for Jimmy & family at his home last week. He writes: "Right up until the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humor that said "I love this world & I'm going to enjoy every minute of it."
In honor of #JimmyBuffet, I present you with this outstanding #YachtRock homage :

Sh!t. Updated with hashtags thinking it would boost visibility, and it reset the poll. Apologies to #science. Revote, if you like!

Buffett was reportedly first diagnosed with skin cancer four years ago.
A friend of Buffett told the outlet that the cause of the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" crooner's illness wasn't exactly surprising to those who knew and loved him, explaining,
"He lived his life in the sun, literally and figuratively."
“A poet of paradise, Jimmy Buffett was an American music icon who inspired generations to step back and find the joy in life and in one another,” said President Joe Biden in a statement.

was the song great but the vocal was probably the best I’ve heard him sing ever. He turned a diving phrase that is used to train people underwater into a metaphor for life when you’re confused and don’t know where you are just follow the bubbles - they’ll take you up to the surface and straighten you out right away.
So long, Jim. You are a very special man and friend and it was a great privilege to get to know you and love you. Bubbles up, my friend. Love, Paul #jimmybuffet #Margaritaville
Damn, just like Neil Peart this one hurts!!! I'll be jamming to Buffett all day today.... 😢💔
I know it’s a bit of a faux pas, but Paul’s words on Buffett are worth the transgression #PaulMcCartney #JimmyBuffet
I'm pained...
There aren't many who remember / were there for the filming of Rancho Deluxe. I was a kid, driving shuttles for fishing guides on the Yellowstone out of Livingston and Bozeman in 1974-77. God I miss those days.Jimmy captured the raucousness especially. Others captured the scene. David Quamnen, Steve Bodio, Russel Chatham. The Fondas and Redford ruined it.
Here's to old hats, shotguns and fly fishing...

I'm not a Parrothead, but I got sad just now as I switched our radio to #JimmyBuffet Sirius station. #rip
"If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.....if we weren't all crazy, we. would. go. insane."-Jimmy Buffett
Thank you for it all, Jimmy....the songs, the stories, the concerts....
I don't have the words for this one. So many memories. I hope there is a #cheeseburger waiting for you.💔

"Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's
And drinks his green label each day
He's writing his memoirs and losing his hearing
But he don't care what most people say
Through 86 years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile then he'll say
Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I had a good life all the way"
Thanks for the memories, Jimmy.
Oh, no! The soundtrack of so much of my adventures was #JimmyBuffet. I'm literally shaken.
Years ago in Key West our snorkle boat captain told us he'd be playing that night at his place, Margaritaville, & it wasn't going to be announced. We took blankets & cards early & 4 of us waited as the line grew down the block. Doors opened about 10:30 & we got a table right in front of the stage. Jimmy played past midnight...wow. He'll be so missed. 💔 🎶

Sad news about Jimmy Buffet.
"'Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,' a statement released on his social page reads.
'He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many,' the statement continued."

I will happily have Jimmy Buffet songs in my head all day. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.
"Nibbling on spongecake, watching the sun bake all of the tourists covered with oil … Wasted away again in Margaritaville, searching for my lost shaker of salt … Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame, but I know, it’s my own damn fault."

Given the news about #JimmyBuffet's death enjoy these two perspectives of an absolutely daft idea - to drive around the USA visiting every #Margaritaville restaurant.
