He lived a great life. Saw him about 10 times. There are going to be many sad people out there today.
RIP Mr Buffett

Sailing back from a day of snorkeling in the Caribbean and the captain pops in Songs You Know By Heart.
Absolute Perfection. This Buffett could set the mood or soundtrack it like a motherfucker.
A Pirate Looks at 50 was an entertaining autobiography, too. Godspeed Jimmy.

Being from the opposing party isn't a valid reason to dislike someone if you aren't a fkn weirdo
I used to cut dems some slack. But in 2023 they are just evil or morons. They might be nice, but to actively ignore what the democratic party stands for after 8 years of barry and near 3 years of the dementia patient and then compare that to Trump's 4 years, dems are voting and supporting the destruction of America and it's freedom and liberty. When abortion in the 9th month is your political lodestar I just don't have the patience. Not one leftard here even tries to defend the dems support for open borders and the US as the world's welfare magnet, our failed national public education system, our criminal justice system, our woke military, our energy policy and our out of control spending and printing money.

I never really cared for his music. Sad he died though.
Try this one. Pretty thoughtful for the leader of the Parrot Heads.
Down to the Banana Republics
Down to the tropical sun
Go the expatriated American
Hopin' to find some fun
Some of them go for the sailing
Brought by the lure of the sea
Tryin' to find what is ailing
Living in the land of the free
Some of them are running to lovers
Leaving no forward address
Some of them are running tons of ganja
Some are running from the IRS
Late at night you will find them
In the cheap hotels and bars
Hustling the senoritas
While they dance beneath the stars
Spending those renegade pesos
On a bottle of rum and a lime
Singin' give me some words I can dance to
Or a melody that rhymes
First you learn the native custom
Soon a word of Spanish or two
You know that you cannot trust them
Cause they know they can't trust you
Expatriated American feelin' so all alone
Telling themselves the same lies
That they told themselves back home
Down to the Banana Republics
Things aren't as warm as they seem
None of the natives are buying
Any second hand American dreams
Late at night you will find them
In the cheap hotels and bars
Hustling the senoritas
While they dance beneath the stars
Spending those renegade pesos
On a bottle of rum and a lime
Singing give me some words I can dance to
Or a melody that rhymes
Down to the Banana Republics
Down to the tropical sun
Go the expatriated Americans
Hopin' to find some fun

I never minded Buffets music, but listening to people try to sing Margaritaville at karaoke night became one of the most annoying things in the history of mankind.
It's a challenging song to sing, not one I would recommend to an amateur, yet despite there being thousands of other songs to choose, every night some fucker would pick Margaritaville and just butcher it. You have to be able to keep your range tight and comfortably hit subsequently lower notes.
Some people did okay in this regard, but were still way off rhythm. It's like they think there's no rhythm in the vocals because Jimmy sings it so loosely. But there is, and it's very specific. Especially the line "some people say that there's a woman to blame". Never heard one person sing that line correctly.
Anyway, just thought this was a good opportunity to complain about this. RIP Jimmy Buffet.
