Jimmy Buffett turns 75 years old today!!
From an interview with Billboard Magazine:
You turn 75 on Christmas Day. So what does a pirate looks at 75 look like?
I’d like finish this rock and roll book I’m working on. It’s based on when we went to Montserrat and did the [1979] Volcano album. I’m making it fictitious, but it’s based on that whole episode, which you can’t believe the s–t that happened. I still can’t. There are so many stories and I file them away. It’s a funny book, but it’s a real rock ‘n roll book. It’s not a miserable experience, let’s just say.
I kept writing some songs, and so instead of some 75th anniversary thing — I don’t want to do that — I’d rather put another album out. I’ve got five songs now. I like what I’m doing. It’s a little more kind of down island — authentic Creole and Trinidadian and Calypso kind of influences are in it.
Happy happy birthday jimmy
We love you and your team
Hope you had a merry Christmas and an awesome birthday
A Merry And Happy Birthday to the hardest-working laid-back man in show bidnews. Thank you for absolutely everything!
Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas.. keep up the great work you do not just as a singer but a person also.
Wow, where does time go? Happy Birthday and thanks for all the escapism over the years. Looking forward to the new album.
Thank you for all the wonderful words and music that you have given us. It is fitting that you were born on Christmas Day, because you are such a gift,
