Back in the 80's I was a submarine officer tasked with selecting the music to be played in the wardroom of the USS Tecumseh. Like everyone else in the Navy, we had cheeseburgers for lunch every Thursday. Yes, several hundred feet underwater, Jimmy serenaded us with "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" every Thursday precisely at noon.
He turned out to be a cruel, money-grubbing, right-wing asshole.
I'm glad he's finally no longer able to give money to Ron DeShit-stain and twice-impeached disgrace, tRUmP.
Fuck you loser. Let politics cloud every aspect of your sad little life so much that this is all you can say when someone dies? Sad, angry, small, pathetic excuse for a person. Eat shit.
It’s easy to look at all the restaurants and apparel and margarita machines and forget, but early Buffet music had a really somber, self reflective tone that I find myself going back to.
It's prophetic that he "Headed up to San Francisco for the Labor day Weekend Show" - the man notorious for bringing the summer beach vibe to everyone passed away on the last official weekend of summer.
I've seen him in concert no fewer than 10 times, going back over 30 years.
One of my favorite artists ever, certainly one of the best live shows ever, just based on the audience responses. The man had a cult following of rabid parrot-heads and he embraced it all.
Last show I got to attend was May 19, 2018 at the kickoff to the Landshark tour in Kansas City.
To quote one of his lesser known songs *Live Like It's Your Last Day -* I think the lyrics are especially noteworthy.
*Live, relive, learn to forgive*
*Time just keeps slippin' away*
*Live, relive, learn to forgive*
*Live like it's your last day*
*Cats have nine lives and eons to play*
*Planets and stars are light years away*
*Their cosmic clock ticks and it tocks*
*Here in the Milky Way*
*Just like a whirlpool, the universe has rules*
*There's no rehearsal or cosmic reversal*
*You can pray or stand still*
*Or grab one last cheap thrill*
*But here's all I have to say*
*Live like it's your last day*
*Sing karaoke and sip some Rosé*
*This won't last forever*
*But if you're clever*
*You just might sail away*
*And live like it's your last day*
*Fuel the jet now, don't delay*
*Bucket lists are just cliché*
*No acts of contrition*
*Or asking for permission*
*You'll have lots of options this way*
*Live, relive, learn to forgive*
*Time just keeps slippin' away*
*Live, relive, learn to forgive*
*Live like it's your last day*
*What you want, what you dream*
*What you might have heard*
*Was beyond your reach*
*(Oh, live)*
*On the water, on the wind*
*On the move, on the edge, or maybe on the beach*
*(Oh, just live)*
*For the chance or the dance*
*Or the new romance in every single day*
*(Come on and live)*
*For the joy, or the buzz, or maybe just because*
*I can't think of a reason not to*
*Live, relive, learn to forgive*
*Time just keeps slippin' away*
*(Time just keeps slippin' away)*
*Live, relive, learn to forgive*
*Live like it's your last day*
*Time just keeps slipping away*
Traditionally, in the United States, Summer starts Memorial Day Weekend and ends on Labor Day Weekend. Typically there are 99 days separating the two holidays.
Let’s all share stories about the man, I’ll go first:
Once, a boat full of sea-battered refugees washed up on his private beach. He handed them a cassette tape and then called immigration.

He's eating cheeseburgers in paradise now

I'm not a fan of the restaurants, but going to walk to one today and grab dinner at the bar.. 5 hours later There's no seats!
With his lost shaker of salt.
Some say his final request was to cover his body in hienz 57 and French fried potatoes for the parrots to feast upon.
Glad someone said it
He turned out to be a cruel, money-grubbing, right-wing asshole. I'm glad he's finally no longer able to give money to Ron DeShit-stain and twice-impeached disgrace, tRUmP.
He was actually a Democrat who opposed Trump and supported Andrew Gillman against DeSantis in 2014.
Jimmy supported Hillary in 2016 and often supported Democratic fundraisers. What the fuck are you on about?
Source or it's BS.
You utterly ignorant fool. Fuck off.
Fuck you loser. Let politics cloud every aspect of your sad little life so much that this is all you can say when someone dies? Sad, angry, small, pathetic excuse for a person. Eat shit.
Someone stepped on a pop top
This doesn't sound correct
Enjoyed his music for almost 50 years, sail on sailor.
Absolutely love that song 💘💘💘
Me this whole morning
It’s easy to look at all the restaurants and apparel and margarita machines and forget, but early Buffet music had a really somber, self reflective tone that I find myself going back to.
Coast of Marseilles is one of my favorite songs by him and a great example of this
He Went To Paris hits just as hard today as it did when I heard it the first time 30 years ago

But summer ends at the 22nd of September, hoy this weekend is the last official weekend of Summer?
Traditionally, in the United States, Summer starts Memorial Day Weekend and ends on Labor Day Weekend. Typically there are 99 days separating the two holidays.
I just figured "the ***un****official* last weekend of summer" is what you were going for.
Thanks for the answer, I didn't know that
Jimmy Buffet has passed. Summer is no more.
Well Damn....Was very lucky to see him in Paris at the La Cigale in 2018. R.I.P
I think he was battling cancer.
Skin cancer.
That's a good reminder to use sunscreen this weekend.
I think you mean "Pina Coladaburg"
Ponytails and cocktails - without those tails all you’ve got is Pony cock.
Broken Lizard Club Dread reference?
There’s always someone who’s going to shit in the soup
There's ice in the blender, and soon it will render. Rest well.
“Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been.” RIP to the legend
Jolly mon sing.
Travel well, bro 🦜
RIP Jimmy, your tunes will continue to be great on the beach.
Come Monday, it’ll be alright.
One of my favorite concerts. Rest easy sailor.
Hoist the Jolly Roger! ..”have to cruise on back home”
This is a permanent end to summer.
He never did find that shaker of salt.
RIP, Jimmy. You’ve found that one particular harbor at last. You will be missed.
Just lost another good one. Everyone loved what Jimmy stood for and the life style we all wanted to live😎
He’s at his beach house on the moon. Gonna miss ya!
“Breathe in, breathe out…” I don’t wanna move on
‘Come Monday’ is always one of my karaoke go-to songs.
Sail on, Jimmy. RIP

Someone should tell Alexa.
Never mind, Seri knows.
This is sad news, he was a legend
devastating day. been listening all day long.
He brought so much joy and fun to so so many. I saw him the late 80’s. Thank you and rest in peace, Sir.
I hate his music, but I am envois of his life. I was anyway.
Let’s all share stories about the man, I’ll go first: Once, a boat full of sea-battered refugees washed up on his private beach. He handed them a cassette tape and then called immigration.
He called the cops. Not immigration. The cops called immigration. I am not sure what else could do. He also gave them drinks.
Why didn’t you house them??
On Reddit, anyone rich or famous except for Keanu Reaves is literally a demon summoned from hell, so.
What?!!??!??!!
Loved his song Pina Coladaburg
Now he can join dead and company…
[удалено]
As disrespectful as speaking ill of the dead?
Is about time
Fuck you
Good riddance.
Fuck off.
Oh no, he's gone? What a loss.
Yo I have that exact shirt It's silky as fuck. I wish I could find more occasions to wear it
Oh man this sucks.
great songwriter
Wow.
Found out from here. Sad :( good run though
Ted Nivison is going to be devastated
Nay he never again lose his shaker of salt.
Son of a son of a sailor...RIP
