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.

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

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.

I prefer his retirement communities to his books.

E: My most and least appropriate glass was chosen to honor Jimmy
It was Portobello and Swiss and it was the first good homemade one I've had in a while
Thank you, Jimmy
