Pariah Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) My Mom was a Parrothead through and through. I grew up listening to a lot of Jimmy Buffett growing up. I rediscovered his music in my mid-20s when I was working a mundane summer job and his song "It's My Job" came into my mind. I started collecting his albums for myself. His last album of original material, 2020's "Life On the Flip Side" is as good as anything he ever recorded. Not a lot of artists can say that. I'm pretty sure my Mom was one of the first in line to welcome him to the other side. Rest in peace, Jimmy.

Pariah Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 What a ride this man had. Singer, songwriter, author, entrepreneur, pilot, sailor. He had maybe three big radio hits in the 70s (and one with Alan Jackson in 2003) but was still selling out shows in the 2020s. He had three books hit #1 on the New York Times Best Sellers list—two in fiction and one in nonfiction. His business ventures included restaurants, resorts/casinos, a tequila brand, and two minor league baseball teams. How owned the naming rights for the Miami Dolphins' home stadium for a while. Forbes estimates his net worth at around $550 million. But what makes him really memorable for me is his ability to tell stories. "Jamaica Mistaica", about the time his plane got shot at because the authorities thought he was a smuggler. "Nobody Speaks to the Captain No More" about a veteran who finally loses a long battle against PTSD. "Who's the Blonde Stranger" and "Frank and Lola" about a couple trying to overcome the doldrums of a long relationship. The aforementioned "It's My Job" about taking pride and satisfaction in doing whatever you do well. And who else writes a song about a cheeseburger? slikmar and Hermit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
