    His fans were usually a massive pack of assholes but Jimmy was a great guy. Like I actually got to meet him multiple times outside of him doing a show and he was just one of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with.

    I know about Jimmy Buffet because of the Mcelroy Brothers and because someone on the forums once said he was on Epstein's Island list or something

    Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be, maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby. If I only had a pencil thin mustache, then I could do some cruisin' too.

    Awesome for the op because that picture is the perfect testament to his life.

    I prefer his retirement communities to his books.

    Damn. I was always a big fan of his music.

    Too bad his fans were mostly assholes but Buffett always seemed cool.

    Just like a guy living his life

    My aunt is a massive fan of Jimmy Buffet.. and thankfully not an asshole.

    I called her this morning to make sure she was okay. She found out about 30 minutes ago. According to her, he was in the hospital last year, seemed to be doing better, went out for a couple shows in the spring, then canceled later ones and has barely been heard from since. She suspects cancer.

    She commented on how he never really got the recognition he deserved for being a great songwriter, never getting Kennedy center honors or into the Rock and Roll hall of fame. I wonder if his fans being the way they are influenced that.

    Personally? I've barely listened to his stuff... but I will always associate him with her. And that means something.

    I think he doesn't get recognition for being a skilled songwriter because his biggest hits sound like novelty songs compared to a lot of the rest of his stuff.

    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 76 years of perpetual motion
    If he likes you he'll smile then he'll say
    Everyone, some of it's magic, and some of it's tragic
    But I had a good life all the way

    Fuck I need to call my dad.

    He's a huge fan. When I moved out, his going away gift to me was his record collection (he had just gotten rid of his record player), including his six buffett albums.

    Guess I know what I'm doing today.m7tfhvj2irgv.jpg

    I believe he had melanoma that developed into lymphoma so let this be a lesson.

    Always wear sunscreen!
