RIP Jimmy Buffett

I actually had someone show me a video earlier today where he had gone to see them in Cincinnati a few days ago. He'd never gotten to see an actual Buffett show, but he was thrilled with what he saw.

 

It's been a year.

 

Happy birthday, Jimmy.

 

I find it both amazing and loyal that a year-plus on, no one has chirped a word about what they did with Buffett after his death. If they buried him, I absolutely think the right thing is to keep the location quiet because people would flock to it. It's odd, though, that there never has been a simple statement: "He was buried in a private service at an undisclosed location" or "He was cremated, and his ashes were scattered at his request." I tend to think he was cremated because if they had buried him in a public cemetery, someone would have wandered by, seen it by now, and posted the location.
I also think it's odd there has never been any official tribute merchandise released from the estate. There is a ton pirated stuff available. I'd buy an official t-shirt. The family doesn't need the money, but I refuse to buy a t-shirt from someone on ebay or etsy profiting from his death.

 

He was cremated.

 

I find the Full Moon Saloon part highly questionable.

Cremated and scattered at sea part seems reasonable.

 

He was gracious, grateful and always a lot of fun. Some of his music, I really liked. A LOT. Some, meh. But he always was appreciative of his fans, his good fortune, hell, his fortune.

Rock on, JB.

 

Considering that bar no longer exists, yeah.

 

Exactly. Everything I found when trying to verify said the place close in 1993.
