RIP Jimmy. Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2023, 06:17:41 EDT Played Pirate looks at 40 this morning. Seemed fitting (also one of my favorite Buffett songs as well)
Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: VOLMAN on September 03, 2023, 03:33:03 EDT One of my friends played harmonica in the band occasionally and flew Jimmy around (retired Admiral)....he had nothing but good things to say about Jimmy. :patriot: :powert:
Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: Coupe De VOL on September 03, 2023, 04:36:08 EDT The first time I ever cried over a celebrity death was George Jones of all things. Today was the second. Getting soft in my old age, I guess
Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: PirateVOL on September 03, 2023, 05:00:14 EDT The first time I ever cried over a celebrity death was George Jones of all things. Today was the second. Getting soft in my old age, I guess come Monday we will smile over the good times listening to his songs and the infinite margaritas drunk in his honorTitle: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: VinnieVOL on September 03, 2023, 10:59:06 EDT Kind of surreal that he died on Labor Day weekend (the end of summer). Supposedly skin cancer (he also had lymphoma) :bawl:
Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: SmokeyJoe on September 03, 2023, 11:25:38 EDT The first time I ever cried over a celebrity death was George Jones of all things. Today was the second. Getting soft in my old age, I guess I was never a parrot head, but I liked Come Monday, Margaritaville, and Honey Why Don't We Get Drunk, etc.... Jones OTOH is one of the greatest voices of all time, any genre, imo... Worthy of a tear :powert: Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: volsboy on September 03, 2023, 11:38:37 EDT He was one of a kind. Never heard anything derogatory about him. .. Hope it's always five o'clock for him in heaven.

Hope it's always five o'clock for him in heaven. He was evidently a very savvy businessman, too. Net worth estimated to be $1 billion at death. Willie Nelson could have learned a thing or two from Buffett :biggrin: Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: SmokeyJoe on September 04, 2023, 12:38:11 EDT To put that in perspective George Strait is "only" worth $300 million.
Mick Jagger is "only" worth $520 million. You could go through any list of entertainers or athletes, and just a handful would be as wealthy as Buffett. Very impressive.

Willie Nelson could have learned a thing or two from Buffett :biggrin: I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fastNever meant to last, never meant to last Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: SmokeyJoe on September 04, 2023, 01:00:46 EDT I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast Never meant to last, never meant to last He pissed it away & made it back :patriot: Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 04, 2023, 01:36:48 EDT To put that in perspective George Strait is "only" worth $300 million. Mick Jagger is "only" worth $520 million. You could go through any list of entertainers or athletes, and just a handful would be as wealthy as Buffett. Very impressive. Well, I can make a pretty educated guess as to where most of Jagger's fortune went. :inughout: Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: SmokeyJoe on September 04, 2023, 02:25:27 EDT Not everybody is motivated by power & money. :loco: But $500 million would be fizzleing plenty :biggrin:
Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: BanditVol on September 04, 2023, 04:51:55 EDT Well, I can make a pretty educated guess as to where most of Jagger's fortune went. :inughout: That he is still alive is one of the most amazing questions ever. I don't judge, but as a betting man I would take whatever odds are given that the gates of hell will swing wide open when he does die. :naughty: Title: Re: RIP Jimmy Buffett Post by: SmokeyJoe on September 05, 2023, 03:30:13 EDT That he is still alive is one of the most amazing questions ever. I don't judge, but as a betting man I would take whatever odds are given that the gates of hell will swing wide open when he does die. :naughty: I think you boys are confusing Jagger with Keith Richards. Jagger partied for sure, so did Buffett. Pretty sure Jagger has been clean for decades. Could be wrong, don't think so.
