I have a conflicted relationship with this. I loved him before he became an oligarch, and still listen to a lot his deep cuts…RIP

    I had one of the great nights of my life at his Sausalito bar and grill in 2001

    Think of all the musicians actors in their 80s who are going to be dropping like flies soon.

    Dead Pool Tournament?

    Hollywood bracket:

    Deniro, Pacino, Hackman, Eastwood, Willis (probably early 70s still but has some dementia thing going on), Duvall.

    Sunset Records bracket:

    Willie, the remaining Stones, Dylan, David Allen Coe, Kris Kristofersen

    You could probably throw in brackets for both politics and sports as well.

    Agreed. Blasphemy, I'm sure but the Throbber finds Buffet tunes way up there on the m'eh scale.

    It's not a terrible analogy. It's one with which you disagree.

    Never understood the Buffet cult either. Same as the Dead.

    Like @IrishDawg22 digging fat chicks. Just not my thing. Doesn't make it wrong.

    From someone not on the cult side but with a healthy appreciation of both, I understand what you mean. Neither Jerry nor Jimmy had world-class vocals but there was just something about them along with their representation of appreciating the simple things in life. It helped that, as electronica and other tech came along and grew more prevalent, their music still wasn't overproduced and retained a feeling closer to the 60's and 70's.

    I love being able to identify with the lyrics of the songs and know what they were feeling when they wrote the songs, such as Buffett's "A Pirate Looks At Forty" and the Dead's "Hell In A Bucket" for a few examples.

    I never saw Buffett live but was lucky to see Jerry and the Dead at Memorial Stadium in late May of 1995, just a few months before Jerry passed away.

    It is as much about culture and style as music, for me. Both artists in question appear to have done their defining work in 1977. It's not that they are virtuosos (Jerry close, if not actually one, "noodling" aside), or powerful, grand singing voices. It is a vibe, and that connects people. Jimmy wrote songs that people relate to, everyday people who just want a little slice of beach. For all intents and purposes, Buffett has always spoken about how lucky he was, and having a gift for making the mundane relatable.

    Jimmy was a tremendous writer and story-teller...Dylan has mentioned him as a favorite. He had great foresight and feel, saw how people responded, and became a billionaire from it. He was an average guitar player with a below average voice, and he knew it, and was a brilliant and savvy businessman.

    I saw him six times, and never saw a bad show, or a show where people weren't having fun, or that he wasn't having fun.

    His lyrics are what roped me in. I'm not talking about Margaritaville, or Cheeseburger, but about He Went to Paris, The Captain and the Kid, Come Monday, Livingston Saturday Night...the old stuff, when people wore jeans and cowboy boots to see him, and not grass skirts and leis. I'm not a Parrot head, nor am I trying to change minds here. To each his own...

    I don't get why people would drop a mortgage payment to see Taylor Swift...

    Let me keep it simple for you, both have fun music, and good live shows

    Then you also have
    Buffet - drinking
    Dead - LSD

    There you go.

    Every single guitar god you loved from the 60s and 70s will be dead within the next 10 years.
