He has become the salt shaker. RIP.
I still don’t know what they are. I tend to dismiss entertainers political views until they think they should run my lifeRIP Didnt know his politics. Sometimes you gotta overlook those things.
lt's a shame man, everyone is passing away! Jerry Lee Lewis, all/most the remaining members form Skynyrd, just to name a few.Jimmy Buffett Dies: ‘Margaritaville’ & ‘Come Monday’ Singer Was 76
Update on Jimmy Buffett death at age 76deadline.com
"Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” a statement said late Friday on the musician’s official website and social media feeds."
"The consistently touring singer-songwriter, whose other hits include “Come Monday” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” had been hospitalized earlier this year for an unspecified illness. In the process, the island escapism performer cancelled or postponed a number of concerts — a rare feat for Buffet."
That sounds like he was sick and knew it was coming, and whatever it was, it came fast.
RIP
I'm so bloody rich. I own apartment buildings and shopping centers. And I only know three chordsThree chords...maybe the Ramones lol
I agree. His music did nothing for me. It was contrived, simplistic and unoriginal. But he was a shrewd entrepreneur and his entire scheme of the laid back, shorts, flip-flops a T-shirt and sunglasses and booze, hawking a beach or island lifestyle to millions that could never actually live it or afford it but were willing to pay him to pretend they were living it, if only for an hour or two...well it made him a billionaire.Sorry to hear about Jimmy Buffett's passing.
JB was a master marketer. Give me your money so I can live a lifestyle you dream of. I have heard many of his concerts on SIRIUS radio and have seen a handful of his interviews. He laughed at his fanbase, maybe have even had contempt his fans. JB would have been wildly successful in any endeavor that involved psychology and sales.
JB might have been the greatest marketing mind in modern day music. Musicians like Kenny Cheensey are a handful of others have all been waiting for today and take over Jimmy's schitok and ring the register.
Yeah, or Frank Zappa or The Doors.If you don’t like Jimmy Buffet just plug in Lawrence Welk.
OK, I'll bite. Complexity is interesting. It's like asking, what's wrong with a photograph where every single one has the subject perfectly centered, and perfectly in focus. This is often the least interesting photograph, from a photography standpoint. That's all. But I can see he was certainly a master at what he did. One cannot have followers without talent of some kind. Showmanship. Presence. We throw the term "billionaire" around today like we did once with millionaire. Being a billionaire is no joke. He will be missed.There are comments that Jimmy wasn’t a good musician. What is a good musician? How about when your newly released song spends 22 weeks in the top 100 and is and inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

What's interesting is it would seem Lawrence Welk and Roy Clark are made fun of based on TV shows and maybe even their audiences, yet they were masterful musicians. Heck even Jerry Reed was excellent. I personally was a full grown adult before I was aware how good Glen Campbell was on guitar.Yeah, or Frank Zappa or The Doors.
