A Fort Bragg soldier was killed after a bar fight triggered by an argument over a Jimmy Buffet song playing on a jukebox.

Steamboat Springs police said 37-year-old Richard Lopez and two of his friends played the song at the Tap House bar and two other people started arguing with them over it. Lopez's family told The Denver Post the song was "Margaritaville."

Maybe the requested song was "A Love Song -From A Different Ppoint Of View"

Nevertheless, fighting over a Buffett song? The SF guy seems to have had some issues.

[Impy]

Silly pointless death.

Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame.

[AppyPappy]

But I know, it’s nobody’s fault.

Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame.

But I say, it's Budweiser's fault.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Some would say that anyone who listens to jimmy buffet should be dead.

[Iscool]

Willie Nelson, maybe...But Jimmy Buffet??? Naw...

Claim, i meant, not say. DUH.

[CrazyIvan]

I'd have soon expected a fight over Pachelbel Canon.

[Joe Boucher]

How much drinking was involved?

[uncbob]

Too bad they were not smoking POT instead of drinking their drugs

Some would say that anyone who listens to jimmy buffet should be dead.

Some would be accused of having bitter, hardened hearts that would wish death on others over a song choice.

Well played.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

I listen to Buffett, you want me dead - come get some.

Didn’t Michael Yon write about something similar?

[secret garden]

Oooh, you’re good.

[theDentist]

Just waiting for the next explosion, I guess.

"Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame."

She's a real beauty. A Mexican cutie.

At a wedding a few years ago, the DJ got delayed. His sound system was there but in the entire audience, only one person had a CD...Jimmy Buffett. We listened to the crap for about 4 solid hours till the DJ showed up. Of course, the first song he played was Margaritaville.

I could be convinced that a Jimmy Buffett song could be grounds for fighting.
