RIP: Jimmy Buffet, 76

Sailed off to Margaritaville, never to return.

Something struck him fast, or was discovered far too late. In May he reported he had a serious medical problem and was being treated for it, but it was to no avail.

All reports seem to be that he was exactly the dude he seemed to be in his songs: laid-back partyer looking to have fun with friends and relax. And he had the voice and song-writing and performing skills to back it all up.

He will certainly be missed.

The Rolling Stone obit is particularly good:
