RIP Jimmy Buffett

This is the one I've been dreading and the one that hurts me.
When my father pashed away earlier this year after a long illness, my reaction when it happened was "OK." I saw this when I woke up and said "Weeellllll Fuuuuuuuck."
He canceled tour dates last year because of hospitalization. He started touring again this spring, and shows were halted again. He's got new album about to be released. I wonder if there will be some sort of farewell on it because he knew. I hope so.

RIP, Bubba. Thank you.

Sorry for your loss, my friend.
 
Never really got the whole Buffett thing.

Still, he made a lot of people happy, and that's rare enough in this world.

Rest.
You had to dig awhile beneath the layers of merchandising machinery and tropical cliches, but there was something that spoke to a quiet loneliness even in an extrovert who was the professional life of the party.
