Rest In Peace Jimmy Buffett.
"Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic. But I had a good life all the way"
We miss you Jimmy
I love that song “he went to Paris.“ May be his best song, but I also like Margaritaville.
It is amazing if someone can write even one good song in a lifetime. Jimmy did more than that.
I remember going down to Marathon Key and hearing a house band play jimmy buffet for the first time, when I was a teen. I was in love with his music from that day on. In 1994, I purchased a 4wk old macaw, whom I have til this day, (He's 29 now), because I fell in love with parrots, being a true Parrothead. Much love and respect to Jimmy's family, extended family and fans. RIP Jimmy Buffet, Margaritaville will never be the same.
I gotta 2 year old African grey Back in my 20’s - Ricoman❤ . He’s 29 in September ! Parrothead here too !!🥰🤘🏼rip Jimmy Buffett 😭
Having a parrot is a lifetime responsibility.
Beautiful sentiments! RIP Jimmy ❤
Key west hardly mentions Buffitt.
I’m just an old Parrothead. Started listening in the late 70’s. Buffett was always a Lyrical Poet. So glad he gave us his music to live on.
Jimmy, who else’s music could make everyone from introverts to frat boys dance together like friends? You’ve left such a space here. Thank you for all the joy.
No mention of Come Monday? After all it was his 1st. Top 40 hit.
Come Monday love miss ya Jimmy always in my heart
I’m very happy that I shared times on Gods green earth with this amazing man. 😢
I listen to Jimmy Buffett music ever since I was a Young girl and I always loved his music he passed away on September1st, 2023
I am very same age as Jimmy Buffett when he passed away I am 76 years old right and that's the age that Jimmy Buffett die 76 years old.
My Son and I both enjoy his music
We especially liked his Songs .
3 of his songs we both really loved were Come Monday and another favorite song was Waisted Away in Margaritaville and another favorite song was Somewhere it's five o'clock
I even still have a cassette tape I play against and I just really enjoy it he was definitely one-of-a-kind and I often wonder if I would have grown up differently if I'd been more like him but I
was more traditional
He helped so many people financially. A true caring Man who never made an enemy, never got political-just made us all happy and relaxed. Enjoy Heaven Mr Buffett, your music gave us a form of heaven on earth all these years you entertained us. R.I.P.
My son who is now 33 years old grew up listening to Jimmy. When he first learned to walk and talk he would run circles around the living room coffee table singing “where ya going to go when the volcano blows” I miss those days. Rip Jimmy, your music and books will be treasured for years to come.
I was lucky to be raised listening to buffett. I'm 38 and I saw him 62 times all across the United States and I actually saw the play he put out a few years back. We had a crew of about 15 people that would go. We have already planned and scheduled an annual Buffett bash at my buddies farm.
I lived in Key West for over 20 years. Jimmy bought his 1st VHS VCR from me back in 1982. He used to live all over. ne time on a boat off Half-Shell Raw bar. He replaced that spot with a Tee -shirt place having the names of his songs on it. That was really the 1st Margaritaville. He moved next door to Louie's Back Yard. He had a chute throw beers down from that restaurant to where he was sitting watching the game. Many times he'd come over and join people at Louie's with drinks. He gave many free concerts in Key West. My favorite was the 2.5 hour show he gave for about 150 parrotheads at Casa Marina. Jimmy was glorious
What a great story! We just got back from Key West with our son over Easter break, I try and go as often as I can but sometimes life and responsibilities gets in the way. I took my son with me for the first time, he’s 9. He lit up the entire time, I showed him all the classic spots. I’m happy to be creating memories with him like my dad did for me with Jimmy’s music with us the whole time just enjoying life like it should be….RIP Jimmy.
My dad is a big ol parrothead so I grew up listening to Jimmy. Sad he's gone for sure!! R.I.P. Jimmy❤
I’ve seen Jimmy many times but my most memorable concert was at the Concord Pavilion in 1984. After spending three years living in Puerto Rico I had just moved to the Bay Area in California. Will never forget when he sang A Pirate Looks at Forty. Wish someone had videoed that concert. RIP Jimmy. Heaven just welcomed the best musician

Jimmie buffet will be missed dearly
May you rest in peace
I actually met Jimmy Buffet in a little strip mall in Key West in 85. It was Jimmy Buffet's Save the Manatees shop that had all kinds of gifty things and many stuffed manatees. Having just come from Germany I noticed the cashier was speaking German, so I approached her and asked...what's all the Manatee stuff about. A man putting merchandise away said..." it's important that we all preserve the Manatees". I said..."is that what Jimmy Buffet thinks?" He said yes, that's what I think! Holy Shit balls! It was him! He was this down to earth guy that was just passionate about his cause. He then invited my friend and I to Sloppy Joes where he was performing. We sat up front and during the show, he spoke to us between songs and thanked us for buying a stuffed Manatee. He also thanked us for our service was we were both Air Force Active Duty. He was awesome!
RIP Jimmy 💔 your spirit will never die ❤🎶🥀🕊️🕯️🙏 and may you always have fair winds and following seas 💨🌬️🌊🌪️
Jimmy was one of a kind..FINS UP JIMMY YOU WILL BE VERY MUCH MISSED
Ah so sad to hear of Jimmy,s passing.Everybody had a good time when he took the stage. RIP Jimmy fins up and God speed
It will never be the same!!!! Growing up in the 70s I hitchhike to Key West hung out and then a bunch of us would go to Ocean City, MD for the summer and work. Then back to the Keys in the winter. WHEN Jimmy was there everybody new everybody. We would get drunk everynight . Like the old saying goes more women than a passenger train cold haul. That was Jimmy at closing time. The Country sucks now and I was so lucky to grow up in the 70s. Never will forget it.
Saw him 4 times in concert. I was looking forward to seeing him one more time.
Thanks JB for providing the soundtrack for a lot of good times over my past 46 years!
Just like you said in your song…
“It’s Been A Lovely Cruise”
Condolences to ALL that love you🥰
RIP
It’s Jimmy Buffet NOT “JB” that’s an insult.
I'm 68, while living like a Parrothead I was in NC where I started listening to his first albums in 74. We had 3 guys and a girl sharing an old beach house. The police knew us well for the keg parties, cookouts and such that got out of control. Buffet , Loggins & Messina, Steely Dan, Deep Purple and Three Dog NIght supplied the music for all the bikers, surfers, beach bums, frats and such that were all welcome at our home. It became a place where we all dropped any fakeness and became genuine people to one another. One roomie had lived in Panama and frequently cooked island style foods for all to enjoy. I think that Jimmy Buffett would have loved to hang out with that crew, who in his spirit, most still live that lifestyle. RIP JB , you will be missed
It's sad that Jimmy Buffett passed away from rare skin cancer and there will never be another one like him but he does still have good music to listen too as well 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Starting hotels and retirement communities have been a huge success. RIP Jimmy, Feels like I lost a true friend.
I wasn't just huge fan but I'd sing along with his music since I was a kid. The fact he died a billionaire blew my mind.
You might be surprised what his non-mainstream music catalog has to offer. If you have the time, listen to the Fruitcakes album cover to cover.
Just goes to show no amount of money can prolong life. RIP JB.
His uncle was a guy named Warren Buffett. I can promise you he helped Jimmy invest that cash.
To the guy that thought Jimmy had no talent, Jimmy was one of Bob Dylan's favorite songwriters. Jimmy was humble & unpretentious, explaining to Ed Bradley on 60 Minutes "I'm a saloon singer, that got lucky. RIP
I miss Jimmy every single day. 💗💗💗
RIP Jimmy ❤
Keep Jimmy in your heart for a while. He'll always love everybody, when all is said and done. Hold him in your thoughts. Take him to your dreams. When the winter comes, keep the fires lit. Keep him in your heart for a while.
Just spent a month in the keys while mourning Jimmy! Can’t believe I’m living without him! Rip my friend!
We saw Jimmy twice in California a few years back. Such a great time at both concerts. Jimmy you will be missed. RIP and Fins up.
Come Monday is actually his best song.
Nope...so many others
fond memories growing up in Miami playing jimmy buffet songs for tourists on the beach then few years later to watch my boss jim Mazzotta create jimmy buffet tee shirt art on his easel at work.
I didn't come across Jimmy until I was well over the hill but there's something in his music for all ages. Mother mother ocean ...... a most beautiful truth
Only got to see him once in Cincinnati. So much fun
R.I.P.P Jimmy Buffett you will be missed forever. I love all of your songs and I listen to you on Siri's radio
R.I.P.P.??
Rest in Perpetual Paradise (or Peace) 💖🙏🏼🥰😎🌴
Always a gentleman .
This man and his music was liberally everything to me. I've been a parrothead since childhood. My family where parrotheads... so I feel like I came out of the womb a full-blown parrothead. When I was 7 years old... I attended my first Jimmy buffett concert. ( the banana wind tour 1996) and went on to attend many more of his concerts. His shows we're such an incredible experience... I'm grateful that I got to experience the magic of a Jimmy Buffett concert so many times! Honestly... it makes me really sad that I will never again attend a Jimmy Buffett concert
Rest in peace Jimmy Buffett... we parrotheads will truly miss you! You will live on through your music.❤
One of the best summaries I’ve watched on Buffett. Great job. 👍
Condolences to his family and friends. I recall "Pencil-thin mustache" being very popular for quite a while, as well. Mr Buffett was also an accomplished pilot. He flew and owned several airplanes over the years. I spoke frequently with him in the late 80s and early 90s at Kendall Executive (then known as Tamiami) airport where he flew his Beech Bonanza up from the Keys and would drive a car that he left parked there to his office, I believe, and then back home again in the evening. Very pleasant and easy to talk to guy. Rest in peace, we'll miss you Mr. Buffett.
If it was me Id be greatful he is no longer suffering, having had two fam members die of cancer, I mourned their daily torture and suffering of living with it, when they finally passed I was elated and joyous. Living with uncurable cancer and in hospice is NOT LIVING at all.🍻✌🏻
Indeed.@@buzz5969
Lymphoma is the last line of defense for the body 😪🙏🏼✝️
I saw him live in Colorado he was great !! As a singer songwriter myself I can really appreciate his style and the way he played his style !!
Jimmy Buffett's song lines from his joyous yet introspective "Jimmy Dreams" song crystallizes the essence of his core.
Jimmy, dear "endless summer" friend and poetic visionary, rest in peace now on the eternal, "deep blue" ethereal waves of a higher realm.
He's a child to the end
What a joy
When you are you're best friend
And the world's such a toy
If you just stay a boy
You can spin it again and again
Jimmy flies
With no use for disguise
Just escapes
Using mirrors and capes
And the words do the trick
There is no bigger kick
Than just rhyming again and again.....
"The states in which we infuse a transfiguration and a fullness into things and poetize about them until they reflect back our fullness and joy in life...three elements principally: sexuality, intoxication and cruelty - all belonging to the oldest festal joys."
The Will to Power (1888). Sec. 801
We want to be poets of our life - first of all in the smallest most everyday matters.
Nietzsche
Really nice guy… we need more people like him
They don't make them like that, annny more.😢
@@kenperkins7921 his smile is like sunshine
Awesome guy and talented musician.
Most mornings, I wake up with a song running around my brain, which often becomes the soundtrack for my day. Lucky for me, for more than 30 years, that song is usually one of Jimmy's. As an English teacher, I've always loved the creativity of his lyrics. After all, who else could "juggle verbs, adverbs, and nouns" so well?
RIP, Jimmy, and condolences to all your family, friends, and Parrothead fans. May we all continue to see you standing with one hand on the starboard bow, waving back at us.
We R all connected by 2 degrees thru Jimmy 💖💕🥰🌴😎
The thing he loved most took him out. The Sun.
My son and daughter’s first concert was Jimmy Buffett! When volcano came on, my 5 year old daughter would sing “mr. ugly”. She was quickly corrected!😅
Buffett was obviously a really smart guy, with all the ventures he had going.. A man of many talents...
Jimmy A CO fav 80/90s! Thanks for sharing God given gifts shared Rest easy in Paradise Condolences to all friends Loved ones especially your Jane & beautiful kids. ❤
I will forever miss Jimmy Buffett. RIP Jimmy Buffett.
Blue skies Jimmy
I’m 61 I’ve been a lifetime parrot head. However, I am a conservative, so Jimmy’s politics and my politics, didn’t match. There was a moment when I let that get between us as far as his music is concerned, but there comes a time when you have to give the man credit. Being a sailor, you can’t escape Jimmy Buffett music, he was an amazing person I am still numb from hearing of his passing.
Sorry to hear that you're a conservative, thoughts and prayers. Hope you get better soon.
😅😂🤣
I’ll get back to you as soon as we fix the mess your boy Biden screwed up. @@reversefulfillment9189
@@reversefulfillment9189 Sorry you are a war-mongerer, killing women and children for profit. As a Constitutionalist, I don't support any of this modern propaganda from any side whatsoever. How do you not see past the BS and death caused by your favorite leaders? Indirectly you have blood on your hands as their lackey.
Honestly, politics and excessive wealth was Jimmy's greatest weakness... his best strength was his advocacy to protect animals and nature.
BTW, early Buffett was best- he used to play around here for free sometimes. - RIP Jimmy, farewell.
Same here I've know Jimmy for years he was raised in my Hometown Mobile AL.
I've sang and played his songs on the Gulf Coast for many years.
He made a huge impact on my music career, even though I don't agree with any of his politics.
I listen to a few of his songs
Truly was an amazing artest.
One of my sisters introduced me to both Jimmy Buffett and Charlie Daniels in the 70s. Only decent things she ever did.
Now thats merchandising
You’re wrong, come Monday, and changes in attitude changes in latitudes are just as popular as cheeseburger in Paradise
Glad I got to see him years ago and been to several of the bars and restaurants! Never seen him wear anything much more then a regular shirt and pants or shorts! Seemed like a awesome guy to know and be friends with! Definitely will be missed by millions!
RIP Jimmy B. 🙏
I saw him at a concert outdoors at USF in Tampa Not sure the year, maybe late 70's I guess. There was a bundle of electric cables running from the stage down, right through the middle of the audience..He kept asking everyone to stand away from it but everyone seemed oblivious. So he quit singing walked off stage and left. Saw him again for Coconut Telegraph in Atlanta in the 80's. P.S. I think it was raining🧐
My favorite song by Jimmy Buffet is trip around the sun.
I wasn’t a fun and only know one or few songs. He was still a legend. Never really heard much of any controversy stories from him either so, he seems like a cool guy. RIP
Fins up!!
Bubbles up!🐳
I really liked going to Margaritaville Restaurants when there was one somewhere close to where I was at the time. Prayers🙏 go out to the Buffet family.
I never knew he died. I was a fan of his since the early 2000s. My top favourites of his are: Margaritaville, The Night I Painted The Sky, Oldest Surfer on the Beach, Barometer Soup, Banana Wind, A Pirate Looks at 40, Lone Palm and his album "Don't Stop The Carnival" I know there are a few others, but I can't think of what they are off the top of my head.
The entire Barometer Soup CD is such a joy & so underrated. Love those songs. One of my all-time favorite songs, though, is One Particular Harbor. My favorite lyrics are "Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been". Always bringing the sunny side out on any subject was what Jimmy excelled at to the very end.
Finally got to see Jimmy in concert in June of 2022 in The Woodlands after yrs of trying & being unable each time. It's a bucket list concert & trip I will never forget with a dear friend of mine. We almost went to Margaritaville in Conroe, TX afterwards upon hearing Jimmy would be there later that night, but we were exhausted after a long drive & concert. Sure wish we could have gone now. RIP Jimmy Buffet.
I just saw it today.
He just passed away on 9/1/23.
Every entertainer has a back story most people never know about.
Sup
He and Hemingway were so different. Yet both loved the ocean. I love Hemingways love of the Gulf stream. More important than Floridas Everglades.
Who would have thought Jimmy Buffett was also a BILLIONAIRE?! Wow.
And that he hated capitalism go figure!
@@JR-uc5oz Blame those early year Nashville Music Corp Capitalists who kicked Jimmy like a three legged dog,... they made him go off to make his living by Entertaining on tour, not record deals. In the end, he beat them, cuz the Internet allowed artist/musicians to go direct to sell and that forced the Execs to follow Jimmy's lead to put their hired talent on tours. He was my neighbor as a kid in an Ultra Conservative town, Pascagoula,... and was never a Commie then. Thank Nashville's corp crony elites for Jimmy widely successful career.
RIP.
My grandfather lives by the words to Margaritaville.
🧠 brain as well as talent 😊
I live in his hometown of Mobile, Alabama. We are just numb.
Met him in Key West in 1977 at Captain Tony's bar. Had a beer with him. Just him and I spent an hour together. Empty bar
I knew JB from St Barts (1982 to 1984) do not KID yourself, the song smith imbibed a wide variety of evils. That was his time off. On tour, I heard he partied too, but tapered off(as he got older) much quicker than most in his business.
He became an avid pilot, and was always a family man, so drugs and alcohol became so little of his life by the late 1980's. So, I have been told.
So, in general, once he approached 36-40 he was very much distancing himself from that whole scene. As any sane person should.
The man was many things, but never wild and crazy. Just cool as shit, and one of the world's best people EVER with words (music lyrics, books, and in general conversation). Never met anyone like him before, or since. RIP Jimmy, RIP
All that about a couple of football teams and you make no mention of his relationship with the Chicago Cubs???? Playing dozens of concerts at Wrigley Field, including the first. When he was playing in the Midwest, he also "dropped in" on games and sat with the announcers. He was financially tied to them also, owning a Cubs farm team. He had a HUGE connection with the Cubs. Typical media, ignore the "fly over" state.
Parrothead forever! RIP Jimmy!
Sorry I never saw him live. I only knew a few songs mostly Margaritaville. I love the song. He was very carefree & taught people to leave their troubles behind & just enjoy life. I only recently moved near the beach. Wish I had years ago. I know the sun is not healthy. And so true what Jimmy loved took him away, the sun. I had no idea he was a Democrat & thinks Republicans are nazis. That is so untrue. It's the opposite. He talks badly about Trump & DeSantis who are actually saving our country. So he makes no sense with that. Hard to believe since he's so brilliant as a writer & a businessman. I'm sure it's the Republicans who mostly supported his lyrics & music. Nevertheless we can't help but love him. His political views are upside down & he just doesn't get it. I mean we had a scamdemic & if he thought different as other people who were fooled that's too bad. Nobody needed to distance or stay home. You just get sick. He wishes we keep the party going & we will. If we are told to stay inside again we won't because us we never did. Went out everyday everywhere & went to bars to socialize normally. Surprised at Jimmy since he lived a lot in a red state the keys. Only.the people in the blue states were crazy & many just moved away to red states. I am blessed to have always been in red states where we had our freedom.
I’ve always wanted to go to Margaritaville
Been there… 😊 HIGHLY recommend it 🍔🍹. It’s a great state of mind!
RIP
PUT A SONG OF HIM SINGING WHILE EATING BUFFET IN A BUFFET LINE !!!

The cheeseburger in paradise was actually horsemeat. JB said he ate anyway after limping into the port and was extremely hungry. He went on to say that he helped change the meat culture of that island by hooking them up with a hamburger exporter from Puerto Rico. This video ends kinda abruptly. I wanted more.
Glad I never paid to see him but had the recipe for life: Joy, seaside good times, and great business sense. RIP Jimmy.
You'll never know what you missed
❤ He was worth paying to see. What a rude comment.
@@kathleenh4656
I know that. I went to at least 20 shows. And only had one bad experience. And that had nothing to do with Jimmy
Fruitcakes, best JB album ever.
He co-owned the Miricle? That i never knew.
At 4:14………that’s Jimmy from the Mickey Mouse Club!
Dipsomaniacs made him a billionaire. He was a country-rock musician and can be seen performing in the 1975 movie "Rancho Deluxe"
❤ Parrot Heads listen to Jimmy Buffett tribute song TIDE HIGH ON by songwriter Dennis Callahan
Is this the 5 Watt guy narrating?
His remark that Obama is the “best US president ever” has stuck with me but still, one helluva entertainer.
I always wondered what he was doing with those speed boats and the CIA.
Except I did know.
Dude….until a couple days ago……I didn’t know who the hell Jimmy Buffett was!!!
He died too soon, man.
He's history now..... Graveyard dead
Hi satan. Are you mad that a light worker touched millions of people? Evil.
Thought that was Jeffrey Epstein!
Let me guess. He never paid any taxes.
He played everyone for $$$$
MUSIC was his JOB. Of course, he made money doing something that he loved, and he was entitled to make money, making millions of ppl happy with his music. He also donated time and effort to many charitable projects. Your comment is very trolly and rude. Imagine if his grieving family saw this comment.
he made money at his job? never heard of such a thing (or read such a dumb comment) 🙄
He was a smart businessman. The majority of his worth is not from his records or concerts.
No lose just another Biden voter.
