I have nothing for or against his music, however it will always be weird when long-time icons during my lifetime die. He was an icon before I was even born, so he's been well-known my entire life, even if he didn't strike it big because of my generation it still feels like this weird loss. Not just for him, for a lot of these older musicians who even if I never really listened to their music, I still knew about them cause they made it.

Even though I don't personally care for Buffett's music, not many musicians can say they had the cult following he did.

Shame, decent beach music, RIP.

Ive actually been to some of the places he used to play drunk/broke and sung about in a few songs before they were hit by the cruise ships then wiped out by a hurricane.

Aww fuck. Margaritaville was a karaoke staple. Dude just liked making stupid-ass songs about being white and trashy on the beach, it was goofy and I liked it.

He managed to leverage his stupid novelty vacation songs into a minor restaurant empire, there's a fucking Margaritaville casino and a couple of hotels. Dude did extremely well for himself, and I imagine he lived the last years of his life in comfort and peace.

This isn't a David Bowie event for me. That was the first celebrity death to really have personal stakes. But I'm certainly upset that the OG beach bum has keeled over after so long. Dude is the patron saint of Bermuda shirts and sandals, either in the heavy heat of a hot summer day or the frostiest peaks of winter. I'm sad that Jimmy Buffett is dead, and I hope if nothing else that his suffering was minimised.

Dude made a video a couple months ago about eating at every Margaritaville ind the country. It's pretty funny, check it out:

I was in bed after drinking all morning, as Jimmy Buffett fans are wont to do. I'm gonna get up, finish this half bottle of bourbon and hammer out Margaritaville at karaoke next door.

Ill join you.

Not because I was ever familiar with Jimmy Buffett (though my mother was), its just that any excuse to drink is good with me.

That actually was pretty funny, never heard of him. So far the things I liked:

1) I frequently see that sign for The Thing but have never gone to see it, I'm glad he gave me that without having to go out of my way myself

2) Bieber accidentially blasting the smoke machine so directly on the crowd was fucking hilarious.

3) Deep Eddy vodka comes from Austin, TX, and it's some of my favorite vodka for a very good price.

4) I like the way he's been traumatized by the Rainforest Cafe and makes note of it every time they run across one.

5) I like that he keeps blurring out his feet because you've got pay for them.

6) Really enjoyed how Ted got into it as Eddy was over it. The convo when they both felt sick from the fish & chips and Ted reveals that his change of heart on Margaritaville came the same day he had diarrhea lol

I basically grew up with his music since my parents liked him and I grew to like him too. We always had Songs You Know By Heart in the car and played it on family trips, especially to the beach. RIP

His small appearance in Beach Bum was great, too.

there's a fucking Margaritaville casino
Minor point of clarification, the Margaritaville casino is only one piece of the River Spirit Casino and it's completely owned and operated by Muscogee Creek Nation. They just use the licensing for that one piece of the casino. The Margaritaville restraunt in the casino is owned by the Margaritaville Holdings Corporation though.

I've I used to audit that casino and have spent literal months of my life inside of it.

RIP Jimmy.

Oddly, Im a huge 90s hip-hop and alt rock guy, but Ive seen Jimmy Buffett in concert more times than any other musician.

My wife and her best friend were obsessed with his music, and would drag me and the BFFs husband to his show every year here at Jones Beach. Wed tailgate the entire day at the beach then go to the show that night.

Seen him about 8 times, yet still only know like 5 songs. Still some of the more fun concerts Ive ever been to.
