I know, don't speak ill of the dead, but where does it say don't speak facts about the dead.

Buffett was a big democrat.

RIP otherwise.

Mods pull at your discretion.

Buffett had a long friendship with Teddy K. I didn’t hold that against him. RIP Jimmy. Enjoyed your music.

There are at least three ongoing Jimmy Buffett threads that you could post this screech to. Why you feel the need to post a new thread from 2018 is beyond me.

I choose to remember his music and smile.

Guy was a capitalist through and through - sold his brand on merchandise, alcohol, hotels, housing developments, theater, books, music, restaurants, clothes. Like many artists, his politics were misguided.

Buffett was big on having his concertgoers vaxxed or tested before attending his concerts.

He probably got vaxxed himself.

Well, what a coincidence. Speaking of the ill. There is an old article out there about Jimmy requiring fans to show proof of vaccination or show proof of a negative COVID test to attend his concerts. So - I wonder what the death count is up to of fans who died because they got vaccinated to go to his concerts.

Big Money makes Big DemonRatz.

It's just the price of admission.

Just hope they don't get to Oliver Anthony.

On a side note think about all the influence and culture around one song Margaritaville. What does that say about our culture- most people want to be lazy, unambitious, carefree and drunk with a warm beach setting thrown in?
Maybe I’m just reading more into it than just a light hearted song but he sprung up a whole industry out of it so it seems.

He seemed to have about as much respect for his voters as DeSantis does.

Buffett required the vaxx to attend his concerts, and was a lib.

Had some good music
Was a good businessman.

People who followed Jimmy Buffet should have their parrot head examined.
