Jimmy Buffett: 1946 - 2023, passed away at age 76.

From posting in 2005 on Jimmy Buffett and Neil Young: Margaritaville Meets Greendale.

 OK, so Thrasher was trying to decide how to caption this photo of Jimmy Buffett and Neil from the Benefit For Museum Of Natural History in New York City on 16 November, 2005.

Thrashette suggested "Cheeseburger in Paradise vs. Got No T-Bone". Nope. Too obscure. How about "Son of a Sailor and Son of a Writer"? Not quite.

The photo seems ripe for some funny captions. But alas, the creative juices didn't quite come up with a real winner other than "Margaritaville Meets Greendale".

Suggest your captions by dropping a comment below. [see comments here.]

Also, Neil did play a song at the benefit but have not been able to determine what song. So if any of you high rollers that attended are reading this, you can drop us line and let us know. Yeah, right...

[Neil performed "When God Made Me" at the benefit.]

* - Caption suggested by commenter below. Note for non-Parrotheads: Buffett wrote a song called "A Pirate Looks at 40" a long time ago... Thanks!

  4. Simply "On The Beach", TW!
    Or maybe "Reasoning with the Hurricane", or "No Changes in Attitude" ?
