Jimmy Buffett

Was never a huge fan but am finding myself sadder than expected about this.

Cheeseburger in Eternity.

something about wasting away again in that Margaritaville in the sky.

Hopefully, there isn't a woman to blame for this...

I had no idea that Jimmy Buffet turned his one and only top ten hit into a resort hotel chain that made him a billionaire.

Like a quarter of the US state of Florida is a Margaritaville. It's insane the extent to which he appealed to alcoholic, white baby boomers. Steve Miller ain't got shit on JB.

Oh, to have the stats on how many times boomers have gotten drunk to "Magaritaville" vs. "Piano Man" vs. "American Pie."

Around here I feel like Jimmy Buffett sits somewhere below The Captain and Tenille in the public consciousness. I heard Piano Man playing in a game store a few weeks ago and it felt anachronistic and gross, like smoking inside. I thought, "man, what are YOU doing here?"

American Pie persists like the Beatles.
