For decades, that’s been my favorite Jimmy Buffett song. It’s so poignant and with age, I understand it even better now. Farewell to an American music icon who was so much more that Margaritaville.
I loved his more hillbilly songs like Great Filling Station Holdup and Peanut Butter Conspiracy, before he went all island-y and was more in the Jerry Jeff Walker camp.
In the songwriter’s own words “some of it’s magic, some of it’s tragic, but I had a good life all the way.”
You will be missed. Fins way up! Dee
