Apparently, Jimmy Buffett is off for a cheeseburger in paradise.
(that’s a terrible joke, but it just hangs there)
Since he made one of his best songs out of a terrible joke (“The weather is here, wish you were beautiful”) I’d say it’s apropos.
Damn, this one hurts.
His fans just went from Parrothead to Deadhead.
mmm
Obligatory link.
Some people say there’s a woman to blame.
I wonder if he finally found that lost salt shaker.
Jack Batty gets on the board!

Oh damn. I forgot I had him. Good on him for getting that pilot’s license.
He knows it’s his own damn fault
According to one article, he’s being cared for by his fiancé. She might want to get the ball rolling on their nuptials.
Too late.
I read that he had a very tragic life-altering experience in 2001 that lead to his extremely heavy drinking. His son died of leukemia at 6 months. 6 months old.
Rumors are that he drank extremely heavily the past 20 years and now has died from liver failure.
I feel for the guy.
Edith Grossman, master translator of the greatest writers in Spanish, stopped searching for just the right word at 87.
First time I notice a translator’s death being mentioned in the New York Times (gift link).
“Oooh ooh OOOHHH DREAM weavah…”
Gah! I’m not going to get any more points on the board with a bunch of nobodies!
Lovell died.
Not the one that people have on their pools.
