Today we are snails having sex videoall parrotheads.
Capping off Mashable's Jimmy Buffett Summer with the worst possible news, the legendary singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett passed away Saturday. The progenitor of his own brand of Caribbean-tinged escapism enjoyed a career that carried him from the life of a street performer in the 1960s to national treasure status — and quite possibly a ten-figure net worth — in the 2020s. His signature song, "Margaritaville," is a ubiquitous earworm, a chain of restaurants and resorts, and a lifestyle unto itself.
But despite a consistent frankness about mortality in his lyrics, Buffett was never one to dwell on the morbid, and it's safe to say that rather than grieve, "Bubba" — as his friends and family called him — would have wanted us all to pour some tequila, and toast to the adventure his life was.
