Will have margaritas in his honor today. Hopefully this is not a bad sign for the day

I really hope that Auburn doesn't try to manufacture some kinda of tradition playing a Buffet song, because he went to AU for 30 minutes.
I.E. Florida and Petty.
RIP Jimmy.
ETA- I couldn't listen to Jimmy Buffet since college due to my summer job. I worked at a water park for 2 years on the beach, it had a 5 disk changer playing music thru the park every day & night. 3 of those disks were Jimmy Buffet. That's roughly 24 hours of Jimmy Buffet, every week for 2 summers. I'm done.

Funny story about him allegedly attending Auburn. When he played the BEMC, back in the 80’s, one fraternity posted a sign in the yard for one of their parties. At the bottom, it said “featuring Jimmy Buffett“. The running story was that he would show up at old fraternity houses unannounced even though he was just a pledge, and they were betting he would drop in.
He didn’t show up.
He didn’t show up.

Noooooooooo
I worked at AJ’s in Destin for 2 summers back in the day and Jimmy Buffet was all they played in the restaurant. I still listen to him all the time though - I love it.

When I started at AU in the mid 90s the story was that even though he only spent one semester at AU, he still had a soft spot in his heart for the frat he pledged (Delta Chi, Chi Phi?) and would come back every year and play a private show for them.
I saw JB live for a string of 5 or 6 straight years starting in 2005 or 2006. At one show as he was finishing Son of a son of a sailor, he gets to the line "The sea's in my veins, my traditional remains, I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer," and then adds "I had enough of that at Auburn."

Funny, as I was never sure if he really did attend Auburn. I assumed he went to Ole Miss for a bit, and then maybe he tried again at AU... never have been clear on that story.
It was the Kappa Sigs @ AU who were claiming he'd been a pledge there. Again, no idea if true or not.

He was a Kappa Sig at Southern Miss so it’s probably true. I went to Southern Miss for 1 1/2 years and when I pledged, the Kappa Sig house had pics of him and the tour went through Jimmy Buffets old room.

Is that you with Jimmy

Along with Hank Arron he is probably known as Mobile's favorite son.
Originally born in Pascagoula, MS he moved to Mobile at an early age and graduated from McGill HS.
Of course he graduated in 1964 around my parents age, so I knew a ton of people that actually went to school with him or his sister.

I'm a lurker with few posts, but his photo is in one of the composites at the Sigma Pi house (it hung on the wall when I was at AU in the mid-80's). He never showed up once in my four years there so I don't know if that is an urban legend or if he ended up at another frat. His time at AU was pretty short. I'm not a fan of his music, but it's still sad.
