Been so long ago, I honestly don't remember... One woman, one man, I'd assume the woman wore open toed shoes...

A day of mourning at Latitude Margaritaville to be sure :cry:

Sad but more music to come. There's quite a buzz (no pun intended) about his upcoming release "My Gummy Just Kicked In."

Sadly, I've diagnosed two of them over my career...
Huh, I didn’t know that about Bob Marley. I thought he died of brain cancer. But perhaps it had spread there (from his toenail?)

Warren Buffet was his uncle.

Bob Marley:

Melanoma
In May 1981, with his health not improving, Marley wished to return to Jamaica. However, his plane was forced to land in Miami and he was rushed to a hospital where he died on May 11, at age 36. Cause of death was the spread of the melanoma to his lungs and brain.

Good guy?
 
I was a fan until I saw the documentary on Netflix about him.

Correct...

"Bob Marley died in 1981 as the result of a metastatic brain tumor. In 1977, a malignant melanoma (skin cancer) was discovered in Marley's toe."

The guy who started the Parrotheads, and thus kick started Jimmy’s career, fell on hard times.

He got very sick and was homeless, as I recall. Jimmy did nothing for him. I forget the details, but it left me disallusioned about him.
Timothy B. Schmidt (of the Eagles), who was playing with Jimmy Buffet's band at the time, came up with the name at a concert in 1985, after seeing fans with inflatable parrots and Hawaiian shirts... It was a play on words, an homage to the "Dead Heads"...

I can't find anything to support the story that the founder of the Parrot Head Club "kick started" Buffet's career (he already had a thriving career since the mid 70's...), or that he fell on hard times...

Here's a link to the club's history...

Jimmy Buffett Doesn't Live in Key West Anymore
 
I'm a big fan of his music.

I often think of this song when I think of him.

The song has some language that might be objectable to some.

Really enjoyed a lot of Bob Marley's music.
