He lived a great life. Saw him about 10 times. There are going to be many sad people out there today.

    Sailing back from a day of snorkeling in the Caribbean and the captain pops in Songs You Know By Heart.

    Absolute Perfection. This Buffett could set the mood or soundtrack it like a motherfucker.

    A Pirate Looks at 50 was an entertaining autobiography, too. Godspeed Jimmy.

    Being from the opposing party isn't a valid reason to dislike someone if you aren't a fkn weirdo

    I used to cut dems some slack. But in 2023 they are just evil or morons. They might be nice, but to actively ignore what the democratic party stands for after 8 years of barry and near 3 years of the dementia patient and then compare that to Trump's 4 years, dems are voting and supporting the destruction of America and it's freedom and liberty. When abortion in the 9th month is your political lodestar I just don't have the patience. Not one leftard here even tries to defend the dems support for open borders and the US as the world's welfare magnet, our failed national public education system, our criminal justice system, our woke military, our energy policy and our out of control spending and printing money.

    I never really cared for his music. Sad he died though.

    Try this one. Pretty thoughtful for the leader of the Parrot Heads.

    Down to the Banana Republics
    Down to the tropical sun
    Go the expatriated American
    Hopin' to find some fun
    Some of them go for the sailing
    Brought by the lure of the sea
    Tryin' to find what is ailing
    Living in the land of the free
    Some of them are running to lovers
    Leaving no forward address
    Some of them are running tons of ganja
    Some are running from the IRS
    Late at night you will find them
    In the cheap hotels and bars
    Hustling the senoritas
    While they dance beneath the stars
    Spending those renegade pesos
    On a bottle of rum and a lime
    Singin' give me some words I can dance to
    Or a melody that rhymes
    First you learn the native custom
    Soon a word of Spanish or two
    You know that you cannot trust them
    Cause they know they can't trust you
    Expatriated American feelin' so all alone
    Telling themselves the same lies
    That they told themselves back home
    Down to the Banana Republics
    Things aren't as warm as they seem
    None of the natives are buying
    Any second hand American dreams
    Late at night you will find them
    In the cheap hotels and bars
    Hustling the senoritas
    While they dance beneath the stars
    Spending those renegade pesos
    On a bottle of rum and a lime
    Singing give me some words I can dance to
    Or a melody that rhymes
    Down to the Banana Republics
    Down to the tropical sun
    Go the expatriated Americans
    Hopin' to find some fun

    I never minded Buffets music, but listening to people try to sing Margaritaville at karaoke night became one of the most annoying things in the history of mankind.

    It's a challenging song to sing, not one I would recommend to an amateur, yet despite there being thousands of other songs to choose, every night some fucker would pick Margaritaville and just butcher it. You have to be able to keep your range tight and comfortably hit subsequently lower notes.

    Some people did okay in this regard, but were still way off rhythm. It's like they think there's no rhythm in the vocals because Jimmy sings it so loosely. But there is, and it's very specific. Especially the line "some people say that there's a woman to blame". Never heard one person sing that line correctly.

    Anyway, just thought this was a good opportunity to complain about this. RIP Jimmy Buffet.
