Wasted away in Margaritaville

Post by MajGenl.Meade »

For the final time. RIP Jimmy B.

I'm glad for the college boyfriend who was a Buffett fan and introduced me to his music. When I left I took a few of the CDs, and really loved listening to them - sadly they were pilfered from my car by some miscreant Yuma youth back in the early 00s.

A favorite:

PS - I think Jimmy Buffett's wasted life is one billions wish they could suffer.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

A favorite of mine, too. (Also, my go-to mnemonic for remembering the difference between "latitude" and "longitude".)



Another good one:

My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
Let those winds of time blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead"

Jimmy Buffett really was the son of a son of a sailor...
