    I can't quite get my head around this
    Guess he's finally getting that 'Cheeseburger in Paradise '
    He was who I wanted to be when I grew up .

    I know very little about him, other than that story I told the other day about a colleague who was a big Buffett fan, and as far as I know I've never heard any of his music.  

    But one thing that strikes me, Googling him just now, is that he looks extraordinarily happy in every picture you see.  I've taken a liking to him without knowing anything about him (I hope you won't tell me he was a well-known Republican party donor or something).

    RIP

    Got very pissed in one of his establishments (in Vegas), ending up (with my missus I hasten to add) chatting with a girl in a bikini who'd just been fished from a 6 foot blender of "margarita" - RIP  Jimmy !

    Imagine something sharp and witty here ......

    In terms of his music, I only know Margaritaville.

     He certainly lived an interesting and full life and made a shed load of money along the way.

    I understand there are a number of Margaritaville themed retirement communities.

    I watched a vlog thing about his restaurants not long ago, properly huge chain. I don’t know about his personal wealth but his name is attached to a big business. And a few memorable songs for sure. RIP Jimmy. 
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    Just listened to Margaritaville, I've definitely never heard it before.  But what would he care, he was worth $1bn and more importantly it sounds like he enjoyed life.

    We were later in the one on Navy Pier in Chicago, where the server would not serve my wife a coffee because "you don't want to drink our coffee. It's real bad."  =)

    Love Jimmy Buffet. Had a vinyl copy of the Live Double Album, You Had To be There, since it came out in ‘78. Thanks for the music Jimmy.
