Jimmy Buffet headed to a Labor Day weekend show in heaven

[12th Man]

Just read where Jimmy Buffet passed away from a year long illness. Seen him many times in concert. He'll be missed for sure, though his music will live on! He was 76 RIP!

One of the best concerts I ever attended and a staple of my boating life. Thanks for the good times and see you in Margaritaville…. RIP

Most of his songs aren't my first choice, but any all around good dude lost from this earth is a loss for us all.

Living in Florida you hear A LOT of his music. His more popular stuff borders on cliche, but when you consider he invented the cliche, it's actually impressive.

I haven't heard anything other than his death was announced on Instatwat - hardly a reputable source.

I haven't heard anything other than his death was announced on Instatwat - hardly a reputable source.

I'm fairly certain his own website SHOULD be a reliable source.

Now THAT I would believe - but the MSM (which I don't trust as far as I can throw my Jeep) quotes a useless 3rd party poop website.
