god bless you, Jimmy. bubbles up!
The most geniune smile and even his eyes smile. Ive never seen someone who exudes happiness in his face! You can't help but smile yourself when he smiles. Thank you Jimmy for all the fun music and good times.
RIP Jimmy ♥️💝🎶
Love him 💔 rip 🌴 🍻 ☀
never realized how much he looks like George Bush Jr. Thanks for the great tunes and vibes! Salute!
JIMMY B is MYTHICAL & MAGICAL. He doesn't take himself seriously, he is crazy-smart, & has a wicked sense of humor & adventure. JB is IRRESISTIBLE, IRREPRESSIBLE, CONTAGIOUS, ADDICTIVE. HE is one Hell of a good time!! GOD BLESS YOU, JB & have a margarita for me up there in the clouds.
I had no idea!!! Been following JB since 1977 and this is mostly new to me!
❤ LOVE Jimmy Buffett and his music 🎶
I grew up in the Florida Key's, and it was the best place to grow up.If you ever came down for a visit,you would agree.
We moved up to Key West from Dominica in our teens and early twenties. My baby sister and her band sang nightly here and there and she sang for Mr. Buffet's group for a while too. She loved working with him and has always said he was the best boss. She is very weepy today. His music is fun and gets everyone laughing and moving. Im sure Heaven will be groovin' tonight! Rest in joy, Jimmy! May all the happiness you brot so many come back to you a thousandfold in every lifetime.
Back when 60 Minutes wasn’t a politically biased news program. Haven’t watched it in YEARS!
Remember this one well tho.
RIP JB
Hope he's somewhere enjoying a beer. Nothing but love for him… he will be so missed. ❤
"Wrote Margaritaville in 6 minutes ". .. .. the most important 6 minutes of his life.
Why does he look like Bush in this picture?
I am a huge fan. He sung really fun songs. I really love him😊❤. I hope he lives in peace and paradise 🙏 ✨️.
You just have to love Jimmy Buffett. Ya just GOTTA LOVE JIMMY BUFFETT!
Alot of musicians only dream of a having just a fraction of his ability. ….I am 62. ..and am blessed to have discovered his work at 13 years old
I wonder if he ever paid that mini mart back.
Jimmy Buffett's talents? First, he could write honest, colorful and escapist lyrics that provided respite to a weary world, and second, he presented them in a self-deprecating, welcoming way that invited everyone to join his party. That's why he succeeded as a person, a singer and an entrepreneur. He may have been calculating as a businessman, and a good one, but he always demonstrated good-natured respect for the dignity of everyone he met, and THAT'S why everybody loved Jimmy– and always will. Bless you, Jimmy.
Never thought this guy would die. Can’t get his lyrics out of my head
This made me cry😢
👍👍😎✌️🤟😢😢😢😢😢
PROP UP BUFFET INTO A SONG FAKE OF HIM SINGING IN A BUFFET LINE !! DO IT WHILE HIS BODY AND FACE ARE FRESH !!!!
He lived a great life…must be smiling down in heaven.
It's been 1 week & I still can't believe he's gone🫣
I'm running out of hero's…..
I will greatly miss him. It was his music I would listen to at the beach, home, the ride to the keys. Was a big part of the best time I have had. Going to miss ya Jimmy !!
Gosh darn it
Jimmy Buffett was a legend. Us "Parrot-heads" will miss you so much.
Buffet looks like he could be a Bush family member, ewww!!!
Broadway play flopped
Pirate side of 40
I really liked him.
It’s 5 o’clock everywhere now. Sail on, Jimmy. Sail on.
"Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic. But I had a good life all the way"
We miss you Jimmy
