Jimmy Buffet gets a highway, and it's A1A :
The Legislature also sent Gov. DeSantis a bill that includes the creation of a specialty license plate with the word "Margaritaville."

Excited to announce that my "Wild Parrot" art will be featured in the guest rooms of the new Margaritaville Resort in Cape Cod! A touch of Florida in Hyannis!

The loss of #JimmyBuffet hit me hard this year. So much of my wanderlust and love of the ocean and beach is reflected in his songs. But this one....still the best one! (It's Bob Dylan's fave too
)
He Went To Paris

Some Sunday Morning Reading to share.
We’re on lake time this weekend but there’s still a moment to read a bit as we watch Summer head into Fall.
Featuring @davidtoddmccarty among others.

So it’s been 8 days since #JimmyBuffet sailed on to his one particular harbor. In that time, I have been listening to his music a lot and actually found much needed positivity online-a community of mourners-people who understand. For me, raised on Jimmy, this has been as hard as Jerry’s passing. Whether you liked him or not, he truly was a national treasure (much like our beloved Dolly Parton-very successful and doing good works wherever there was a need). As Jimmy sang, legends never die.
THE PARROT & THE MOCKINGBIRD, now on the blog, read about how #JimmyBuffet helped the @mbirdfoundation 23 years ago: http://phi.sh/b/64fa2547 (courtesy of @ellisgodard
Didn't know that #PaulMcCarney & #JimmyBuffet were close friends. Paul has a touching tribute to him on Insta. Paul plays on a new Jimmy song coming out the 8th. He mentioned another new song he particularly likes: "Bubbles Up" Paul told Jimmy it was the best his vocals had ever sounded.
Paul played for Jimmy & family at his home last week. He writes: "Right up until the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humor that said "I love this world & I'm going to enjoy every minute of it."
Still struck by coincidence of my watching entire Stern interview of #Springsteen the day before #JimmyBuffet passes. Bruce's vitality is one of many things you can take from the interview. The fragility of life was not one of them, though they did spend some quality time talking about #ClarenceRIP. Anyway, these two guys, both epic songwriters, performers, both went hugely, and disappointingly to some, commercial and both even did Broadway shows celebrating their personal brands? Quite a pair!

Sh!t. Updated with hashtags thinking it would boost visibility, and it reset the poll. Apologies to #science. Revote, if you like!

Buffett was reportedly first diagnosed with skin cancer four years ago.
A friend of Buffett told the outlet that the cause of the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" crooner's illness wasn't exactly surprising to those who knew and loved him, explaining,
"He lived his life in the sun, literally and figuratively."
“A poet of paradise, Jimmy Buffett was an American music icon who inspired generations to step back and find the joy in life and in one another,” said President Joe Biden in a statement.
Phish / Jimmy Buffett tribute tonight? #Phish #JimmyBuffet
I know it’s a bit of a faux pas, but Paul’s words on Buffett are worth the transgression #PaulMcCartney #JimmyBuffet
Summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
And 76 years slipped away... Thanks for the music, Jimmy #rip #JimmyBuffet
"Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs. He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many."
RIP #JimmyBuffet
If you can name 5 #JimmyBuffet songs besides Margaritaville, you’re probably also one of those freaks who can recite all of the verses of the Star Spangled banner.
This makes me sad on so many levels.
I don't know that I classify as an official parrot head because I never went to any of his concerts, but I was a fan. Jimmy was remarkable and iconic.
My favorite Jimmy Buffett songs:
1. Pirate Looks at 40
2. Trying To Reason (With a Hurricane Season)
3. Tonight I Just Need My Guitar
