Today is your day Boomer! Jimmy Buffett's legacy will always be "helping people forget their troubles for a couple of hours.” He was a 76-year-old famous Baby Boomer singer, author, and businessman....but he will always be remembered for two hit songs: Margaritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise (hence, this picture!). And according to the Canadian Press, "Buffett built an empire based largely on Caribbean-flavored pop that celebrated the Florida Keys, sunshine and nightlife. His name became synonymous with a laid-back subtropical party vibe, and his fans were known as Parrotheads." Buffett died this week after cancelling some concerts in the spring with an unknown illness. I remember many times (on a cold winter day at a sometimes-boring meeting) thinking of Buffett, and a cold drink on a warm beach! I am sure his music spawned numerous vacations to places like Mexico, Cuba, the Bahamas, and even Hawaii as Boomers, like me, sought a much-needed break from daily life. We loved your music and appreciated your lyrical advice Jimmy. Cheers to you.
