2000Z-71This one stings. His music was/is a big part of the soundtrack in my life.
Mayan moon was burning
We saw visions
Of the past returning
On the shore
The band was playing
We all heard
What the moon was saying
The world keeps closing in
It has before
It will again
A voice beyond the wind
Says we must go
Beyond the end
So follow
Beyond the end
A sea of friends are singing
Vaya con dios
Mis amigos
We take their hopes and feelings
To some new world
We'll be revealing
Old worlds keep closing in
They have before
They will again
Voices call
Beyond the wind
Say we must go
Beyond the end
And follow
Beyond the end

IronbuttFrom the press release:
The "Margaritaville" icon died peacefully Friday surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs, according to a statement posted to his website and social media accounts.
"He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many," the statement read.
A guy can't ask for much more than that, I guess.

erj_pilotOnly knew 2 or 3 of his top 40 songs. But I know he was an ICON to many my and my brothers age. I think my brother had a number of his albums.
Make it a DOUBLE cheeseburger, Jimmy. You've earned it! RIP...

Lt CHEGI’m truly heartbroken by this. He was a personal hero of mine. He lived life on his own terms. He will be missed.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” September 02, 2023, 08:36 AM
UTsigOne of my biggest regrets is not having seen him in concert. I loved most of his work and have numerous albums. The news of his passing was the first thing I saw on waking up, so sad. R.I.P., Jimmy, enjoy Margaritaville.
