Jimmy Buffett: RS Interview Special Edition 

Jimmy Buffett is the American dream.. never expected anything, great work ethic . He deserves the Mark Twain award, and the Kennedy..

There will never be another Jimmy Buffett.....class, to the very end.

what a man and what a legend. Rest in Peace, Jimmy. We are all really going to miss you a lot. But, thanks for all the great songs and for all of the memories of your fabulous live concerts. Those memories will live on.

You would think that they would put him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just for the fact that he created a whole genre of music

Absolutely the Best Interview with Jimmy Buffett I have ever seen. I was fortunate to work on a music book, and meet him in the late ‘70’s and this is just a great tribute and extremely well done interview of someone so important to music history in America… well done!!! and most of all, Thank You.

I wasn’t a parrot head, but I enjoyed the music a lot. He was just a fun, decent guy. And I’m really going to miss him. A lot. RIP Jimmy.

Great interview! Brian Hiatt asked the “non standard” questions and it led to some great insight… well done! R.I.P. Jimmy Buffett, “A Legend Never Dies”

So humble and grateful. You love a man like that 👏

I went to one of his concerts and it was the best concert I have ever been too. Love his vibe! It’s so sad that he is gone now but his music will live on forever!

As a singer songwriter I can really appreciate the way he lived his life and played his music !! RIP🙏

That smile♥ RIP JB

If you look closely you can see a guardian angel in the door !!! 😍Thank you Mr Jimmy for your Joyous Journey !!! We all have & will enjoy your memories forever more in Margaritaville !!! 🌟🌌🌟🎤🎻🎧🎹🌟🌌🌟🙏♥️🙏

Hes a treasure. A fellow Alabama boy. His music has been so meaningful from my college years in the 70’s to the present and how thankful I am that this son of a sailor made music his career.

JIMMY BUFFETT IS THE BEST & I've been listening to Him for 50 years & is so hard to believe that it's been That Long AGO WOW !

Time to put Jimmy Buffet in the Country Music Hall of Fame!

Life is going to really be hard without this man on Earth. Love you, Jimmy!

For all you youngsters watching this, go back and listen to some old Buffett gems like This Hotel Room, Ringling Ringling, Great Filling Station Holdup, Cuban Crime of Passion, Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Dallas, LIfe is Just Tire Swing, Migration, Defying Gravity, Livingston Saturday Night, Wino and I know, Coast of Marseilles, Banana Republic, and on and on.....

Best part of the interview is at the very end when Jimmy recalls being on the way to a show at the Blossom Music Festival in Cuyahoga Falls and sees a guy on the side of the road with a sign that says “Need tickets” and he was like “Hell what does HE need tickets for? There’s plenty of tickets in there” and he gets to the venue and the promoter says “You sold out” and Jimmy replied “sold out of WHAT?” 😂🤣😂🤣😂😉

CO popular 80s. Thank you JB for your hard work, God given talents shared. You will be missed. Sincere condolences to all that knew and loved this gifted, kind man.

What a great and intelligent interview. Love Jimmy’s attitude.

Thank you, great interview. May he Rest In Paradise 👏🙌🙏❤️✨🕊🌎

My favorite songs of his have changed over the years. But since I’ve recently retired and am preparing to make the move to Orange Beach in a few months, ‘I Have Found Me A Home’ is it. Everything about that song just fits my move to Orange Beach - hell, I’ve even got a red bike! And quite possibly, a Golden Retriever pup named Spooner once I get settled in. Life will finally be good...

Arlo Guthrie and Jimmy Buffet. Two Great humorus storytellers.

I have been listening to Jimmy since I was a teenager in the 80s where most kids were listening. To other stuff. I knew back then he guy has great music. I am happy today that Jimmy is established in his career and everyone appreciate his talent as a musician entertainer especially his concerts. 😀👍Fins Up!

We saw Jimmy and band as opener for The Eagles 3/25/77. Really didn't know him at the time. Ended up living in his hometown; met Lucy at party. Saw Jimmy at The Wharf a couple years ago. Still great.

Jimmy is my hero. When I grow up, I want to be like Jimmy.

Jimmy Buffett on Coronavirus- I'm not listening to the politics around this thing. I'm listening to the smart people with a lot of money. Damn, the man is still putting things in the proper perspective.

Great interview. Great questions. And the guy let him speak. Well done.

There aren't many people I truly envy but Jimmy Buffet is certainly one! What a talent. Sure hope Covid ends soon and he can tour Australia again!

First show was 93 and around 50 more, went up and down the East Coast, seeing him. Met many amazing friends due to Jimmy Buffett. There will never be another. Been to KW many times, saw him live at the Casa where he did White Sportcoat and a pink crustacean album just for us parrotheads, my fav show ever. Seen him on Duval, too. RiP, Jimmy. Loving this interview. BUBBLES UP!

Jimmy Buffet played at my 18th Birthday party with Fingers Greg Taylor..in Jackson,Mississippi 😁40 years ago..🙂..

R.I.P jimmy. We thank u for everything

Loved Jimmy Buffett. He was a national treasure ❤️🥲

I have always liked Jimmy's music. After reading "A Pirate Looks At Fifty", I both admired and envied him and his freewheeling lifestyle. I never had the guts to just take off down the road with no plan and little money just to see where it took me.

Rest in Paradise, Jimmy

I always smile when I hear his music ❤ miss this great guy!

Merry Christmas & happy 76th birthday Jimmy.

Been listening to a lot of Jimmy Buffet the last two months. “He Went To Paris” and “Cowboy in the Jungle” have been my two favorites. They are kind of related, and very relevant right now. Thanks so much Jimmy!

Yes! Agreed! Rock n Roll Hall of Fame has a hole in it that is missing Jimmy. He’s got the heart and soul - and blood, sweat and tears... (He’s also simply a good guy)

How about putting Jimmy on cover of Rolling Stone.Hasn’t been on since 1979

I'm glad he mentioned Jerry Jeff Walker . They were good friends 👍 RIP Jimmy & Jerry ,🙏

He makes me smile.

Rest in Paradise, Captain.

Wow. What a great interview. The legendary Jimmy Buffett and a really great interviewer. You don't see a lot of interviews with Jimmy that go to these depths and I kind of went into this thinking, "well this is just going to be a promotion interview for the new album". Cut to...the new album gets discussed for like 5 minutes out of 40 minutes, and the rest is just classic Jimmy, stories, insights...etc. As a long time fan and Parrothead who has seen Jimmy live over 35 times, I really enjoyed this.

Thank you for this interview! Jimmy is so cool! Thanks for a soundtrack to my life. Once the smart people figure out this covid thing I will be ready for a banger of a party with you Jimmy at the helm! Peace, Love and Parrots!

May Jimmy live forever.

Awesome interview! Great job Brian!! Love Jimmy so much! Love Bob Dylan to and to hear Jimmy idolize him I put myself in his shoes (flip flops). I can just imagine sitting on the boat with Jimmy all day talking boat stuff.

I first saw JB in Florida Gym, Gainesville, Florida. I believe it was 1973. What a great ride it has been and it is really cool to hear his side. Thanks JB.

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy! Bon Voyage, Dude! Fins UP!!

Nothing but love for this man. Xm radio margaritaville is always on my channel. Peace and love my friend.b

Love you Jimmy 🤗 Am I the only person on the planet that hasn’t been to one of your concerts? Send me some tickets and I ll be there. My grandson would love it. We are making our way thru your unbelievable catalog of music. Stay safe🙏

I grew up and still live in Al. As a teen in the 70's, Jimmy Buffett was seen as laughable cause we were all rock and prog and party heavy with Physical Graffitti etc etc...But 40+ years on, it's pretty clear that Jimmy B. did it and has done it the right way all along. Huge thumbs up to the man cause he has steered his vessel in the direction he's wanted to go, almost from the start. The #1 quality (IMO) that's allowed him to do that is his solid business acumen. His ability to see not being the "greatest guitar player" or "greatest singer" and playing to his own strengths. Many many talented artists have never been heard from because of an incapacity to navigate the business-end of their "profession". PS don't have one of his albums, never been to one of his concerts but I loved Son of a Son of a Sailor from the first time I heard it. Hats off to ya sir !

You have changed my life ❤

What a fantastic interview. Thanks.

Love Jimmy, & Hiatt is a hell of a journalist

Fabulous interview from an intelligent, lucky performer who has never forgotten where he came from and used all those experiences to put his life into song. Case in point that in all his performances he recalled his first sold out show at Blossom Music Center. I was part of that history and 44 others over the years. The creative fun of being a part of the Parrothead faithful is like no other. Pure enjoyment.

I have a dear friend who was working as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kenya in 1994 for introducing me to his music. Fun, clever man.

SAW JIMMY AT BLOSSOM IN CUYAHOGA FALLS A FEW TIMES. IN THE 80'S AND 90'S HE'S THE REASON FOR MY SAILING ADDICTION... CANT WAIT FOR THE JACKSONVILLE SHOW IN DEC.

JB, This is great Iview. Peace and Love to you man. I met you at LuLu's where I worked for Lucy a few years back when you came to visit. Keep it Rolling man.

EXACTLY!!!!😊

Hey Jimmy, been a big fan for most of my 58 years and only a few albums of yours I don't own. The Bob and Joan version of A Pirate doesn't do it justice and I am fan of both of theirs. Jimmy, I hope we meet one day but if not, I will always have your music, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Thank you Jimmy ❤️

My first show was my November 1986 Daytona Beach Concert. I'm 52 now and still love it!

Great interview with my favorite pirate 🐦🌴🥥

I love Jimmy Buffett and his music and my heart is 💔broken 26:07

Excellent interview Hiatt!!

Brilliant. Writer, storyteller, believer in science. Smart. RIP, will miss whatever you would have done next.

It’s interesting to hear him talk about revisiting his rarely played songs (which are actually my favorite songs of his). It’s too bad that he didn’t get a chance to do what Weird Al did and tour a couple of years playing concerts with his lesser known recordings. And sold out the tours, by the way. It would have been great.

RIP Jimmy! 🦜🌴🍹🧂⛵💔😪

HEY JB, wish you and Willie would do something together

The only time i saw Jimmy was at Carowinds july 1983. Such fun and a magical summer. In his death ive become a parrothead. RIP

Jimmy Buffett and Peter Franpton should be in the Rock and Roll HOF before any of the recent inductees! Fair winds Jimmy... Fins up!

amazing interview!... It gives a real good idea about the character of the man

So glad i found this, listen to Jimmy all the time. From Mon Louis Island, Al. Thanks Jimmy.🌴🍹

Thank you Jimmy!

Great interview. Great interviewer.

Love the new album Sorry that the concert in Cincinnati was cancelled.

Luv ya Jimmy!

You did not bad, the man deserved more time. It’s RU-vid! This could have been longer.. Your editing was poor, your saving grace was Mr Buffett. He’s gracious, humble, real. With more talent in many other areas. It was like watch an iceberg float by on the screen, you know there is way more underneath.

Just saw nhim at Jazz Fest 2022 ~ TY Jimmy ~ it was a helluva show!

Jimmy's most under rated album was Barometer Soup...poetry put to music you can relate to.

simply put... he is my religion. thank u jb.

Good interview

Hi Jimmy! Hugs from Brazil!

Love Jimmy!

Jimmy - Looking good! How bout some hydration!

Great interview heard all the Jimmy Buffet songs on a West Pac USS Constellation from supervision Petty Officer First Class Dale White his #1 fan.

Love Jimmy Buffet

I like In the Shelter. I wish he’d play that in a concert.

"A little bit of luggage and a lot of songs" sounds like an album title

Van Morrison New album is Excellent! Rolling Stone Fans will dig it#excellent You should get an interview with Him, too.

YER I WAS IN AIRLIE BEACH... WASSUPRISEX JI..YS VOICE KUST GETS BETTER.. ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST VOICE EVER. GOOD LUCK JAMES TAKE GOOD CARE YOUR MO 1 FAN JO Y.☺
