Yacht rock isn't my favorite. I prefer Hawaiian, calypso, and exotica (like Martin Denny and Les Baxter). But I always enjoyed Jimmy Buffett's songs. They were so chill. I did this in tribute to the Mayor of Margaritaville.

I hope he's on a pristine beach, sipping a margarita and eating a cheeseburger.
Jimmy Buffet has died at 76. Too young.
Tumblr media
He was part of the soundtrack of my teens. Light, fun, humorous, often clever. I wasn't a Parrothead, and the one time I visited Florida I didn't like it, but growing up on the Great Lakes I identified with his love of the water and nature.
I reference one of his songs, Cheeseburger in Paradise, in the book I'm writing.

He was a good friend with fellow Floridian, journalist and author Carl Hiaasen. Like Hiaasen, Buffett wanted to protect Florida's natural habitats and wildlife. Buffett did the soundtrack for and appeared in the movie adaptation of Hiaasen's novel, Hoot.

One of my favorite of his songs is one of his least well known.

Like me Buffett wasn't religious. But if there were an Afterlife I wish he'd be off on his boat with family and friends, having a wonderful time.

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! On September 1st, 2023, James William Buffet better known as Jimmy, famed singer and songwriter of tropics tinged country and rock songs as well as owner of a multi-media empire based off one song about a man stuck in purgatory with an elixir of tequila and lime juice as his only respite has passed on. As usual, I cannot speak to the true character of such celebrities but also as usual, I can praise and admire the works of entertainment they have given us over the years. That’s why as tribute, I present my favorite Jimmy Buffet song, Cheeseburger in Paradise. A song about a man stuck on a diet hallucinating about American fast food. In any case, it really fits with that cool, laidback Key West in the Summer image the man himself cultivated over his career. It’s fun, it’s catchy, it’s quintessential Jimmy Buffer, it’s wonderful. Rest in peace, o king of the Parrotheads.

The Day that Jimmy Buffett Died
The day that Jimmy Buffet died
the dolphins bowed their heads,
parrots ceased their jungle songs
and neon signs went dead.
Record players skipped a beat
and mangoes plunged from trees,
teardrops mixed with daiquiris
throughout the salty seas. 
Pirates dropped their bony flags
and smugglers held their runs,
while tailgaters took a knee
to pause their raucous fun.
Surfers tossed their flowered gifts
as tribute to the waves,
and troubadours and movie stars
turned waltzes in their graves.
Vagabonds and wanderers
said prayers on their trains,
while parrot-heads in grassy skirts
danced slowly in the rain.
The clouds released a dreary mist
while whitecaps wept in spray,
and all the skies above us were
a most peculiar grey.
The thunder lost its rumble
and the lighting lost its spark—
the day that Jimmy Buffett died,
a shining light went dark.
-GeorgeFilip

Rotting Away In Hell...I Mean Margaritaville
It was 5:00 yesterday morning, as I type this, when I was awakened by the sudden urge to take a big shit. I’d taken my phone with me, since there were no books in there to read. Within a few minutes I’d received a notification from Yahoo! News which read: “Jimmy Buffett, Singer-Songwriter Who Turned ‘Margaritaville’ into an Empire, Dies at 76”. I was too tired to really show excitement at that…
