They just need to plant Keith Richards on the Notre Dame Cathedral as some kind of permanent gargoyle.

Fully waxxxxxxinated Buffett was a big supporter of the DimWITS having done concerts to raise money for the traitors.

He’s earned it.

I saw when he was the warm up Band for the Eagles. I remember telling my friend after he played Margaretville.

This guy’s pretty good, I wonder if he’ll make it.

I still like “Son of a Son of a Sailor”. I bought the album that first had it in 1978. I like the original lyrics.

His life was just a tire swing:

I can’t imagine what it must feel like to sing that good. RIP Jimmy.

It was yet another post-vax cancer death, I hear. Way too many of those these days.

Hated his politics but loved his music. He was one of the few entertainers where I could forgive him for his politics because his music made me feel so good.

Buffett’s music and business empire was worth $1 billion when he died.

I wonder how much The Eagles are worth today?

“ . He was one of the few entertainers where I could forgive him for his politics because his music made me feel so good.”

Yes. His shows were fun too. Great music and even great lyrics too.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Friend told me earlier today that he was worth a $$billion$$.

Not bad for a musician who only had one Top 10 hit.

I loved his love for seaplanes, especially his Grumman SA-16.
