American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, best known for his “Margaritaville” escapist tribute to the tropical life, has died at the age of 76, according to his website on Saturday.
“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs. He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many,” a statement on the website said. More
LA Times has a nice overview of Buffett’s life. Here
He will continue to vote democrat.
Damn. Have a margarita in paradise on me, Mr. Buffett.
RIP.
blew out his flip-flop
I warned him about the SALT!
Alcohol, women, and capitalism = The American Way. RIP
Wasting Away Again At Margaritaville Cemetery
He died with his HUSH PUPPIES ON!
…I still remember being at a Margaritaville once 20 odd years ago and looking in the gift shop at his book, “A Pirate Looks At 50”, a riff on a song by him about being 40, and thinking, “That’s pretty old for still doing all those shows”. Living in the Cincinnati area, it was impossible to NOT be aware of him.
I didn’t buy it, or think much of his prices or his politics, but I did enjoy the venue, the food, and his mellow sountrack underneath it all.
RIP Jimmy B.
May you finally find out how that tattoo got there.
A pirate looked at 76. That son of a sailor stayed one step ahead if the jailer, but not so with the reaper. He lived his life like a song. Well played Jimmy. RIP
I wrote his music.
Just goes to show you being a good loyal Democrat will kill you.
Loved his all-you-can-eat but never tried his salad bars.
He has finally become a good communist.
I think it was the article in the NYPost where I read that he made a LOT of money with his music, restaurants, etc. and kept investing it well enough that Forbes recently put him on their Billionaires list.
It’s a good thing he figured out early that he truly wasn’t meant for glitter rock and roll.
And to think I had a frozen Margarita just last night 😜
RIP Jimmy and prayers for the family 🙏❤️🕊️
God Speed Dude, always enjoyed your riffs.
i lived in the fl keys when buffet was still a street bum, his music went hand-n-hand with island living
however, his politics were sadly more in line with the biteme regime
Come Monday it’ll be alright… RIP head Parrot Head.
I was a huge fan of his for a few years in the mid-1980s. His music never changed, I did. Enjoy the cheeseburgers, Jimmy.
Now I know how my Mother felt when Elvis died.
She cried.
Rest in peace on a wonderful beach in Heaven, Jimmy
You will be missed.

So he’s a de3asd billionaire who will never see the light of day again, never sip another margarita, put on another concert, or enjoy sitting under a palm tree. What good is his billion to him now? I’m sure his estate will continue to support liberals. He was a died in the wool Catholic.

Screw you Jimmy, maybe you died from stiff man disease – Celine is right behind you. DH outlived you and didn’t get the jab. 🙂
Enjoy every sandwich – Warren Zevon
Take the jab dammit !! – David Crosby
I think I’ll stick to sammiches. RIP
I heard it on the coconut telegraph. 😥 We had so many good times with his music in the background. Many concerts and one memorable Meeting of the Minds Convention in Key West 1999–okay, I mostly remember it.
Fair winds and following seas, Jimmy. 🍹🍹
I’m happy it wasn’t Barry Gibb this time. The only “celebrities” that ever bothered me were Mo and Robin Gibb and Meat Loaf. So much great music.
Lymphoma developed from skin cancer.
He lived in the sun and died by it.
Use your sun screen.
R.I.P.
The people were right, Jimmy, when they claimed I was to blame. It really was all my fault
Jimmy Buffett was HUGE back in the day and the place I work at would have big Jimmy Buffett Parrothead Parties. They were well attended and it was just a fun time for all. Plus, there was another outdoor venue that hosted the man himself, and all my friends and I would attend. We had a LOT of fun.
RIP Jimmy.
Woody, the sun doesn’t cause cancer. But sunscreen does. God wouldn’t do that to us. Just like there is no such thing as “bad” cholesterol.
He’s finally moved into his beach house on the moon
Jimmy is royalty where I’m from. His home is my home. Hell, my dad was runnin’ buddies with him back in their high school days. He used to regail me with stories of beach parties with him and all their friends and listening to Jimmy sing (dad never cared for his singing BTW…even then). Dad would always have a cryptic smile when telling those stories.
Anyway, Jimmy’s music was always an anchor to my home for me. In my mind, it painted a perfect picture of what life is like in this area (Baldwin/Mobile Counties in AL)…albeit somewhat idealistic. Think of it as your favorite comfort food. I only got to see him one time, but I think it was the coolest setting. It was a surprise performance. He showed up in town and decided/agreed to play at his sister’s restaurant down on Fish River. It was him, another guitarist, a conga/bongo player and a keyboardist. Their backdrop was a sunset over Week’s Bay. A perfect memory of him as an artist.
RIP, Jimmy. You will be missed.
Aunt Liz…that’s a side of you we never saw!!!
LOL, Doc! Heck, I was young once! 😀
