Other than his hit song, I never thought about him much until I sailed into Margaritaville Montego Bay after a day of snorkeling on a tourist catamaran. That made me wonder what sort of a person created a place like that.
His legend lives on. Thank you for the videos. I loved the Letterman interview. Jimmy had such a kind essence and disposition. He will be missed. His memory lives on and on…
We used to listen to Jimmy Buffet when we would head out on the four hour drive down to Rocky Point, Mexico for a weekend of R and R camping on Arizona’s beach. Good memories! “I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top”...words a child of the 60s who came of age in the 70s could fully understand.😂 “Fins to the right, fins to the left...”
I’m so sad after learning of Jimmy’s passing. I’ve had the pleasure to see him in concert in Irvine Meadows & Blockbuster Pavilion in CA, Virginia Beach, VA and Portland, OR I cherish each moment and every time I went to Margaritaville in Honolulu I always felt his presence. Sail on Captain and RIP.
Thank you for this. I listened to the words to “Come Monday” on the Letterman tape. I always thought they said “I spent four lonely days with my mind in a haze” but they really said “ brown LA haze”. Music can be timeless or evoke a time or mood. Jimmy Buffet’s songs did all that but this song also was written before government regulations helped clean up the brown haze in LA. A reminder of what was, what is, and what could be.
A reason to smile. We were given the gift of Jimmy Buffett's life and music!
An authentic, courageous and caring musician, who made multiple generations smile and dance. Our 15-year-old granddaughter mentioned him just the other day as one of her favorites! So deeply sad to lose such a treasure of a human being. We know for sure that his music will always be alive and ... remain a joy for future generations. Thank you, Jimmy Buffett, for your songs and ...for your light.
Jimmy Buffett's song is a feel good, foot stomping, hand clapping, just plain great song that makes one smile and have a good time without naked women and cussing. He will be missed.
Margaritaville
I was a Buffett fan until he incorporated his image. Spent hours singing along to his albums* when I was younger.
*round plastic disk that old folks listened to before CDs were born.
I don't know where I'm going to go when the volcano blows. R I P Jimmy your already missed. Thank you for years of music 🎶 that will live on.
Though not a Parrothead myself, nor even a fan of his music, nonetheless he had - and inspired in others - a wonderful, nostalgic laid back "vibe".
I'm actually a Deadhead, so Buffet's music never resonated with me.

“He’s somewhere out on the ocean now,
The place he ought to be.
With one hand on the starboard rail, and he’s waving back at me.”
