Jimmy Buffett, the singer-songwriter who drew millions of fans with his folksy tales of living and loving on tropical sandy beaches, frozen concoction in hand, died Friday night. He was 76.
“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” a statement on his website said. “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.”
This is going to force my dad to confront his mortality again. It’s not going to be good. I remember long ago him being stressed about “a pirate looks at 40”.
He’s also stressed that I turn 40 next year.
Life’s short. Send it.
I’m 46. I always joke that I’m old, but I haven’t felt as old as I felt in a while this morning when I found out a friend I’ve had since high school had a daughter who just turned 19. I still can’t get over the fact that my daughter’s 13. But an actual adult daughter? How did we get so old?
He’s up there having a Cheeseburger in Paradise right now…

The song Margaritaville is about an alcoholic. It’s for the best that he didn’t live that lifestyle. Yes, he stopped drinking then because of the sugar, but still health reasons.
That’s his most recognizable song. It makes sense he’s build his brand on that name.
It wasn’t the only song he built a brand on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheeseburger_in_Paradise_(restaurant)
