My father was born earlier in 1946. Healthy, active…. But it’s still 77. And as I creep up on 50, mortality seems to be on my mind more than it was a decade ago.Saw a couple of his shows over the years, it was always a good time. My ex is a "parrothead".
Creepy as he and I are the same age.. life comes at you.
I thought @Deus Irae was in charge of onituaries?
Zac Brown talked about his passing Saturday Night. He said that Jimmy passed the torch to them when they were on Crossroads, and that he was honored and shocked that Jimmy did that. While I am certainly not a parrothead, I would challenge that there's no other band out there that has the similar party atmosphere that ZBB and their fans the Zamily bring. ZBB tailgates are legendary. I have attended a lot of shows, as you and I have discussed, and I feel I am fairly well qualified to make that judgement. No one will ever replace Jimmy Buffett, but I feel that ZBB can fill that void. I am interested to see what Zac does next to step into those shoes fully.Not my cup of tea, but his passing has me wondering what's next for the scene he created. Someone should carry the torch as Buffet's music spawned a cultural phenomenon that shouldn't die with one man. Sort of like the Grateful Dead legacy didn't end when Jerry Garcia died. The parrotheads now need a new musical leader to step forward.
He decided Patsfans was beneath him and left in a fit of pique. That was months ago.
