Wastin' away in that great Margaritaville in the sky...
Legendary musician Jimmy Buffett dead at 76
By Nika Shakhnazarova September 2, 2023 3:20am Updated
(Rest in peace, Sir. Your music was enjoyed by many. Lots of pictures at the link.)
Jimmy Buffett, the legendary musician and songwriter, died peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on Friday.
He was 76 years old.
“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” the tropical rocker’s loved ones said in a statement on Instagram. “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.”
The “Margaritaville” singer’s death was announced on social media just months after he was forced to pull the plug on several of his shows following a series of hospitalizations.
Speaking to fans in May, Buffett said he had to “address some issues that needed immediate attention,” before playfully adding, “Growing old is not for sissies, I promise you.”
“I also will promise you, that when I am well enough to perform, that is what I’ll be doing in the land of She-Crab soup,” he said at the time. “You all make my life more meaningful and fulfilled than I would have ever imagined as a toe-headed little boy sitting on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.”
“Thank you for your prayers and thoughts, your amazing years of loyalty, and just remember, ‘NOT YET!’ Love to all,” he concluded his May 18 post.
Months later, the iconic singer surprised lucky fans in Portsmouth, RI, with an impromptu performance at a local bar.
Buffett, whose hits include “It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere” and “Trip Around the Sun,” earned his stripes as one of the most captivating names in music with a career that spanned 60 years.
Prior to his death, Buffett was gearing up for the release of his new album, “Songs You Don’t Know by Heart.”
His glittering career, which saw him release over 50 albums, boasts a myriad of top hits from the 1970s and 1980s, including the chart-topping tracks “Margaritaville,” “Come Monday,” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise.”
A majority of his albums have won him gold, platinum, or multi-platinum plaques, and his success translated seamlessly into sold out shows and tours across the globe.
While he never won a Grammy — despite being nominated twice — Buffett scooped several Country Music Association awards and was even inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Born on Christmas Day in 1946 in Pascagoula, Miss., the rocker grew up in Alabama where he became an avid fourth-generation sailor.
He later put his love for sailing on the back burner as he began to shift his focus to music.
In addition to his impressive discography, Buffett leaves behind his eye-watering $1 billion fortune.
The singer was established as a billionaire by Forbes earlier this year after his several business ventures propelled him to earn his spot as one of the richest musicians.
His impressive $180 million stake in Margaritaville, his popular chain restaurant that launched in 1985, as well as an estimated $570 million from touring and recording, all contributed to his staggering net worth.
The singer leaves behind his $140 million portfolio of planes and mansions, as well as his music catalog valued at $50 million.
“If you’re an artist, if you want to have control of your life… then you gotta be a businessman, like it or not,” he told Forbes in 1994. “So the businessman evolved out of being an artist.”
When he wasn’t on stage, Buffett released several books — including children’s books alongside his daughter Savannah.
He occasionally dabbled as an actor, where he played a handful of small roles or played himself. Buffett’s final acting credit was when he appeared on the hit CBS show “Blue Bloods” in 2022.
Buffett leaves behind his wife, Jane Slagsvol, whom he’s been married to since 1977, as well as his three children: Savannah, Sarah Delaney, and Cameron.

Robbie Robertson, The Band co-founder and guitarist, dead at 80
By Erin Keller August 9, 2023 5:16pm Updated
(We lost another one. Rest in peace, Mr. Robertson. Your music was/is wonderful.
There are a lot more pictures at the link.)

Robbie Robertson, the guitarist-songwriter-singer who lead the Canadian-American 1970s rock group The Band, has died. He was 80.
Robertson’s longtime manager, Jared Levine, confirmed his death to The Post on Wednesday, saying Robertson died in Los Angeles after a long illness.
“Robbie was surrounded by his family at the time of his death, including his wife, Janet, his ex-wife, Dominique, her partner Nicholas, and his children Alexandra, Sebastian, Delphine, and Delphine’s partner Kenny,” Levine said in a statement.
“He is also survived by his grandchildren Angelica, Donovan, Dominic, Gabriel, and Seraphina. Robertson recently completed his fourteenth film music project with frequent collaborator Martin Scorsese, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon.’ In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Six Nations of the Grand River to support the building of their new cultural center.”
Born Jaime Royal Robertson on July 5, 1943, Robertson had roots in the Mohawk community at the Six Nations Reserve outside of Toronto and the Jewish enclave of the city’s downtown.
At age 10, he began playing guitar, and in 1960 at the age of 16, he joined drummer Levon Helm in the Hawks, the backing band for rockabilly star Ronnie Hawkins.
The Hawks went on to play with Bob Dylan on his legendary “Going Electric” tours in 1965 and 1966. Moving to Woodstock in 1967, Robertson and his bandmates recorded the seminal “basement tapes” with Dylan before changing their name to The Band and releasing the groundbreaking “Music from Big Pink” album in 1968.
Robertson was known for writing some of the group’s classic songs, including “The Weight,” “Up On Cripple Creek,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “The Shape I’m In,” and “It Makes No Difference.”
By 1978, Robertson claimed every member of The Band was struggling with drugs and/or alcohol, so he made the decision that the group would be done touring, which led to its demise.
“Our musical ability was disappearing before my eyes,” he told The Week in 2015. “You’re in a place and it’s on fire and you say, ‘I’ve got to get out of here.’”
Robertson was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame (1989) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1994) as a member of The Band.
He also joined Canada’s Walk of Fame as a solo act in 2003 and with The Band in 2014.
In 2019, Robertson received the Lifetime Achievement award at the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame.
Robertson and Scorsese became collaborators after the famed director captured The Band’s farewell concert in 1976 for “The Last Waltz.”
Starting in 1980, Robertson scored many of Scorsese’s films, including “Raging Bull,” “The King of Comedy,” “The Color of Money,” “Gangs of New York,” “The Departed,” “Shutter Island,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Silence,” “The Irishman,” and “Killers of The Flower Moon.”
Robertson released his solo album in 1987 and would go on to release five more albums. His solo hits include “Somewhere Down the Crazy River,” “Shine Your Light,” and “Broken Arrow.”
In 2016, Robertson released his memoir “Testimony,” which was made into the 2019 documentary film “Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson And The Band.”
At the time of his death, Robertson was writing his follow-up memoir and had just finished scoring Scorsese’s “Killers of The Flower Moon” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro, which is due out Oct. 6.

What is killing healthy young Americans?
2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID.
A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent.
And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions:
What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people?
What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?
It isn’t COVID, of course, because we know that COVID is not a significant cause of death in young people. Various stakeholders opine about what could be causing this epidemic of unexpected sudden deaths, but “CAUSE UNKNOWN” doesn’t opine or speculate. The facts just are, and the math just is.
The book begins with a close look at the actual human reality behind the statistics, and when you see the people who are represented by the dry term Excess Mortality, it’s difficult to accept so many unexpected sudden deaths of young athletes, known to be the healthiest among us. Similarly, when lots of healthy teenagers and young adults die in their sleep without obvious reason, collapse and die on a family outing, or fall down dead while playing sports, that all by itself raises an immediate public health concern. Or at least it used to.
Ask yourself if you recall seeing these kinds of things occurring during your own life—in junior high? In high school? In college? How many times in your life did you hear of a performer dropping dead on stage in mid-performance? Your own life experience and intuition will tell you that what you’re about to see is not normal.
Or at least it wasn’t normal before 2021.
John Gosling, The Kinks keyboardist, dead at 75
By Tracy Wright , Fox News August 7, 2023 12:35am Updated
.
Keyboardist John Gosling for the rock band The Kinks has died at age 75.
Redferns
John Gosling, a keyboardist for The Kinks, died on Friday. He was 75.
Members of the legendary British rock group paid tribute to the piano player on social media following his death.
“We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of John Gosling. We are sending our condolences to John’s wife and family,” the band wrote alongside a black-and-white video of Gosling.
Ray Davies, a founding member of the group, shared, “Condolences to his wife Theresa and family. Rest in Peace dearest John.”
Lead guitarist Dave Davies wrote, “I’m dismayed deeply upset by John Gosling’s passing. He has been a friend and important contributor to the Kinks music during his time with us. Deepest sympathies to his wife and family. I will hold deep affection and love for him in my heart always. Great musician and a great man.”
Mick Avory, the band’s longtime drummer, shared online, “Today we lost a dear friend and colleague, he was a great musician and had a fantastic sense of humour… which made him popular member of the band, he leaves us with some happy memories. God Bless him….”
Gosling was classically trained as an organist and a pianist.
He joined the band in 1970, and his audition was the recording session for “Lola.”
He performed on 10 albums throughout eight years with the influential rock group, including “Muswell Hillbillies” and “Everybody’s in Show-Biz.”
Gosling left The Kinks in 1978 and later became a founding member of the Kast Off Kinks in 1994.
Gosling, who was known as “John the Baptist,” performed with Avory, Jim Rodford and John Dalton until his retirement in 2008.
In an interview shared on Kast off Kinks, Gosling was asked how he thought his life would develop had he not joined The Kinks in the ’70s.
Gosling responded, “No idea- but music would have always occupied a major part of it I’m sure. Or I might have just become a unicorn exterminator.”

Thanks Phil. Sad news - I lost my wife of 45 years three weeks ago. Am still in a state of shock and absolutely lost. I'll keep coming here because I feel like I'm among friends. Thanks for the invite and kindness. If you're interested in Laverne's Memorial, just visit http://dignity.mem.com/Story.aspx?ID=2679224 and feel free to leave a comment in the guest book if you want. I know Pete might like to see it too so let him know if you will. We had many many wonderful years together and I have been a very Blessed man for having had her as my lifelong companion and friend.
Again, thanks for the friendship and I'll jump in here often. Time will certainly help but will never erase the great memories.
Your friend, Jim
I'm going to post this message on our memorial board here, and I also started a TalkZilla board in her honor. Please offer your condolences to Jim.

From one of his Posts/Sayings >
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved
body,
but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn-out, shouting,
'Holy shit! What a ride!'
Screw the doctors - I'm back riding my Harley. Screw the economy, I'm living
it up.

Jim------Just wanted to let you know that I lost my best friend early Thursday a.m. He had really began to weaken due to the tumors and the chemo. He was here at home with me and died peacefully. I can truthfully say that he was ready to meet His Maker which he did. I am truly blessed to know that today he is in a much better place with no pain and sorrow. You can let his chat board friends aware of his death if you wish. I just know he truly knew you and Carol were praying for him daily. Stay in touch. Amy
Dr. Feelgood advised valleytopdog passed away:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/profilea.aspx?user=127776
Notice of the passing of valleytopdog on Friday May 21, 2010
I am the brother of John (valleytopdog) who wanted me to inform this board of his passing. Some of you, I believe, met with him personally. He wanted to let you know how much he enjoyed the many exchanges that he had with many of you on this board. He was a very big believer in the NanoViricides technology and was looking for it to be commercialized during his lifetime. He had a very aggressive form of lung cancer that took him in less than a month. We got him on DCA that began to help, but it was brought too late to the battle to benefit him.
Peace
Robert

He had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure back in December.
He will be missed.. RIP Phil my friend
