Sad news. I live on the southern gulf coast for a while and spent some time in the keys. His music was the soundtrack of a whole subculture who lived a lot of the words he sung. A pirate looks at 40, the captain and the kid and Havana daydreaming are classics

Terrible day. I’ve seen him well over a dozen times from Red Rocks, Co to Auburn, Al to Honolulu and many points in between. The Red Rocks show was off the hook! RIP just doesn’t sound right. How about, HFJ! (Have Fun Jimmy) ![]()  |

RIP ... "Come Monday" was always one of my favorite songs of his. Turning the opening lyrics of that song looking at the calendar right now : "Headin' up to Heaven* ... for the Labor Day weekend show ..."  |

Turning the opening lyrics of that song looking at the calendar right now : "Headin' up to Heaven* ... for the Labor Day weekend show ..." I wouldn’t call myself a parrot head but I did see him twice. Once at Mac Court and once at the memorial Coliseum. Both great shows. |

He was the poet of the sea, a great songwriter
“ I’ve done a bit of smuggling, I’ve run my share of grass, made enough money to buy Miami but I pissed it away so fast”
“ I think about Paris when I’m high red wine, I wish I could jump on a plane, so many nights i just dream of the ocean, god I wish I was sailing again”
His “you had to there “ live album is one of the greatest concert recordings ever.
A prayer for Jimmy - may the seas lie still before you, may a gentle breeze fill your sails, may sunshine warm your face. RIP
