Sad day for Parrotheads and potheads.

Buffet was an American icon, and quite successful beyond the Big8.

Beware the LandShark.

RIP to the Son of a son of a...

“You know Death will get you in the end,” Buffett wrote in A Pirate Looks at Fifty, “but if you are smart and have a sense of humor, you can thumb your nose at it for a while.”

Sad day for Parrotheads and potheads.

Jimmy didn't have a pothead following per se. He was a light recreational user like many of his millions of boomer parrotheads. I would agree with something along the lines of "Parrotheads and Drunkards".

In a recent profile in the New York Times, the 71-year-old musician revealed some insights into the stricter diet he’s following these days. “I don’t do sugar anymore,” he said. “No sugar and no carbs.” There is one exception, though: Sunday is his cheat day. Instead of sweet frozen cocktails, Buffett’s new go-to substitute is tequila on the rocks with “a lot of water.”

And that’s not the only lifestyle change he’s made. Buffett—who, as Rolling Stone reported, helped support himself early in his career by smuggling marijuana from the Caribbean to Florida—is no longer smoking pot. He’s replaced it with vaping oils, which he partakes in only on occasion.

Ok. So...

- Coral Reefer Band was a reference to 18-wheelers.
- "My Gummy Just Kicked In" is a song about vitamins.

Yet pot...

It's still pot.

This is one of those celebrity deaths I'm crying over. Jimmy was my favorite artist, going all the way back to birth. I saw him just once live, on the Detroit River in 2015. His live shows were energetic and passionate, and he's the big reason why I love tropical islands and frozen drinks. I knew he was sick, but didn't know it was that dire for him. Paul McCartney was actually one of the last people to visit him. I'm very sad he's no longer with us. He told so many great stories in song. R.I.P. and I hope it's Five O'Clock Somewhere where you're at.

Saw him a bunch of times, a couple I can remember.

I don't know if there is one person on Earth that brought more joy to more people than him.

I've seen many great performers live, but Jimmy was always one of those who had so much fun and passion on stage. Even at his last show in July, he was still having fun and cracking jokes on stage.
