A Pirate looks at Forty is a favorite. And a lyric, “Changes in Attitude, changes in Latitude, nothing remains quite the same, …..if we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane”.

In the old days he had a strong following here

Hope folks aren’t too cruel

I lived on of his songs and yes art inspires life

It’s inevitable

I met him once

Went on his Lockheed jet star

His backup girls were adorable and very sweet to 19 year old me

Home boy we inhabited simlar spaces

Mobile
Fairhope
Key west
Bozeman
The Caribbean

RIP

RE: Your posts about Come Monday


JB spent a lot of time in Montana — Missoula is mentioned in Come Monday, also Ringling, Ringling (Ringling is a town in Montana)...

His sister has been married to a writer for years and they have several Montana homes, I have met them both on several occasions.

Never met JB but have always been a fan of his music.

RIP

Ironic that Cheeseburger in Paradise died in Lahaina less than a month ago.

The son of a son of a sailor has finally put in to port, wherever that may be.

I was living in Miami during the 70s. In those days Jimmy used to show up at several places in the Keys and up into South Dade county. Under the radar. Eventually he would be sailing in the Bahamas and would call The Gussman Music Hall in Miami and ask them what nights were open in the next week, and would book a couple nites which would immediately sell out, and he would sail into town, do the concerts, take the money, and head back to the islands. Nice work if you can get it!

Yep

Seen him my own eyes

Blow and booze and Valium to sleep

Then do it again next night

Toured as living back then in mid 70s

He had a sharp wit

Epitomized north gulf coast Deep South Guy

Accent and look

All his family in Mississippi I ever saw were blonde too

Cousins

I’m not a Jimmy Buffett fan, but “A Pirate Looks at 40” is one of the most underrated tunes of all time.

Bit of trivia here … I believe Jimmy Buffett is the only person to have all three of these accomplishments to his name:

- a #1 hit on the Billboard charts
- a #1 New York Times bestselling book for fiction
- a #1 NYT bestseller for non-fiction

He certainly had a lot of talent and lived a colorful life.

Can't you feel them circling, honey?
Can't you feel them swimming around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only bait in town.

20+ years ago he owned an Albatross airplane. I used to see him fly it up and down the coast of Palm Beach. It was very, very cool. There is a story that he was with either Sting or Bono flying in the Caribbean/Jamacia, and they got shot-up by the local islanders!

Jimmy Buffet and Allan Jackson doing “Must be 5 o’clock Somewhere” That’s my favorite. Most of his tubes were just silly drinking tunes and getting high on marijuana. It did Jimmy good. My guess >> He died worth at least 400 million dollars.

BUT!!!!!!>>>>>

However, according to Forbes magazine, as of August 28, 2023, Jimmy Buffett had a real-time net worth of $1 billion 3. His net worth was primarily derived from his music catalog, touring and recording, and his stake in Margaritaville Holdings 3. Margaritaville Holdings is a lifestyle brand that includes resorts, restaurants, housing, apparel, home decor, pool floats, pickleball sets as well as tequila and margarita mix 3. Buffett founded Margaritaville in 1985 and holds a 28% stake worth an estimated $180 million 3.

Please note that the information provided is accurate as of August 28, 2023 and may not reflect the current state of affairs.
