RIP Jimmy Buffett

Couple of things working in favor of that theory. Home base for Lulu’s, his sister’s chain of beach restaurants. And just down the street from the Flora-Bama Lounge, of which he sang in Bama Breeze.

 

If you haven't seen the official video, it's great.

 

Who’s cutting onions in this dust and pollen filled room!?!

 

The opening line "you ready to go" is a hammer.

 

Kenny Chasney, Alan Jackson, Zac Brown and Mac McAnally will lead a tribute to Bubba Nov. 8 at the CMA Awards.

Jimmy Buffett to be honored with all-star tribute at the CMA Awards

 

I know they're going to play a couple of the sing-a-longs, but I wish they'd throw in a deep cut to show Buffett's range as a songwriter.

 

Aside from 5'o clock, was Buffett ever involved, mentioned, appeared or nominated by the CMAs? Glad he's getting a tribute though.

 

He had a journalism career in Nashville. He recorded quite a bit there. He got his ass kicked by Buford Pusser in the parking lot of the King of the Road Motor Inn.
I do think he got some love recording with Zac Brown.

 

And he helped move a lot of records for other artists, I know (Chesney et. al) - I just don't know if ever really got his "due" from the industry.

 

He didn’t.

 

Direct me to a story about the Buford Pusser thing.
