I’ve seen Jimmy in concert. He was my senior yearbook quote. I don’t want to say I’m a parrot head, because that’s some boomer shit. But … we’re big fans in this family. Same. His concert was a blast, and I’m not a huge concert person. He just always had good vibes. His concerts had A+ people watching. Fantastic entertainment.

I can’t wait for the inevitable documentary(ies) about this.

Apparently at least one person died at Burning Man last night. I can’t understand why they’re trapped but I also can’t stand most of their insufferable TikToks so I can’t be bothered to learn. I read he was standing in water and plugging something in or working with electricity I some capacity. So kind of related to the conditions but not bc he was dehydrated or ran out of food. What is grossing me out is the number of videos I’ve seen with people walking around the mud barefoot though 🤢

Our newspaper here is obsessed with burning so we’ve had BREAKING NEWS about it nonstop. For the Chris rock thing the headlines are “Chris rock says toilets at burning man can’t be cleaned, leaves early” which made me laugh. It’s interesting how I’m just slightly farther and our news is not interested in it. I know several people there including my former classmate who hung out with Diplo, former classmate is white Reggae artist and is exactly who you expect to be at Burning Man. Oh yeah, I mean it used to be that half of SF went to burning man. The joke used to be that if you wanted to do anything that was typically too crowded, just what for burning man and you could do it with no line. But I feel like it’s not that as much anymore so I don’t know why they are still obsessed with it. Leading up to it there are so many stories about it and then now it’s just full coverage.

From what I’ve seen it appears the dry ground/clay and the water have made some sort of quicksand. It’s basically what they always told us to fear in the 80s. And also reminds me of this: I know I am going to hell for making light of it. Hopefully everyone else remains safe and RIP to the one casualty.

I have a friend who is a legit parrot head. Has been to 30 concerts and met him. She is in mourning. But she said the number of texts and calls she woke up to expressing condolences was pretty remarkable.

Apparently they walked 5 miles and hitched a ride from some random people. More confirmation that I am not made for burning man. Fuck 5 miles in the desert in August I’m not built for music festivals in general.

The Mall of America’s Margaritaville location had massive lines for lunch yesterday.
I guess people are paying their respects to Jimmy that way.

The lead singer of smash mouth died. Eta: liver failure from long term alcohol abuse. What’s crazy to me as that just yesterday or the day before they were saying he had just days to live. And then I check a little while ago and they reported he was dead. I don’t know why I thought when they said days it would be like a week. My brain was all surprised at the announcement that he passed.

Omg, this happened to me. Like 20 years ago I matched with some guy on a dating site, probably match. Went to dinner, drank too much, he asked if I wanted to go to his friends house for a party, sounded like fun. We got there, drank more, neither of us could drive so I slept on someone’s floor. When I woke up my shoes, and date, were gone. His friends laughed and said he has done this before. He never returned my calls and I never got my shoes back. Sob. They were not fancy lol.

I’m in my beach town and we’re driving around blasting Banana Wind all weekend and we’re getting lots of comments. But legit every restaurant, dock, store we’ve been at this weekend is playing him.

I could write a whole thing but my parents are legit Parrotheads. Prob much like jaygee’s friend. I had to check in on my parents this weekend. It’s the soundtrack of my childhood. It’s cheesy but Jimmy was a legit good guy. It’s why you have everyone from Pitbull to Paul McCartney writing tributes to him.

No one fawns over you or gives you attention or takes your photo or make the news when you are sitting inside your home. The alliterate one has loved the ginger one being out of town and going out every single day and night. Apparently she told someone that she also enjoyed making the paps trek all the way out to see her instead of having to go into LA.

The dead pay cable actor nearly died the night before he died. The night before he had been saved by his mom. The actor yelled at her for coming into his room. So, the next night, there was no checking in on him and he died.

The three named A- list actor didn't need the monthly magazine curse because his marriage is already headed for a split. He can't hide everything that is going on forever.

I’ve been to almost as many Jimmy Buffet shows with my dad as I have Beach Boys. He’s currently mourning in Ft Lauderdale.
