AuCivilEng1 12,539 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Jimmy had some good hits. Never understood why he put 57 sauce on his burger, but to each his own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82be 15,019 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Saw this news earlier this morning. I wish I had been able to see him perform live. One of the best lines from any song ever written was by him...if the phone doesn't ring it's me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cheeseburger in paradise has mayo, bacon, over med egg, onion, lettuce, pickle. And of course a cold draft beer Don’t even think about putting tomatoes, ketchup, or steak sauce on there. All 3 mask the flavor of anything they are paired with. Edited September 2, 2023 by AuCivilEng1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have a point with pickles, but to be fair I’d probably rather have a spear on the side. Lol Going back to Jimmy, though. He seemed like a fun person to be around. I wish Auburn would have leaned into their relationship with him, more. I think the stadium should sing CBIP out loud tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually got his degree from Southern Miss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but by God, if Alabama can claim 79 MNCs, some of which were probably awarded by the Tuscaloosa Rotary Club, then we can lay claim to Jimmy as one of ours. 😏 4 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodford 3,779 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 So sad. Been listening since I was a kid. He was the last realistic bucket list artist I wanted to see. Hate I never saw him. “So you wonder why we ever go home” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodford 3,779 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) HIGHLY recommend his memoir “A Pirate Looks at Fifty” He learned how to become a musician in Auburn. Something almost no one knows about. When he left Auburn he literally stopped in Hattiesburg and applied at the admission office. Times sure have changed. Oh and he was friends with Hunter S. Thompson. What an incredible life. “He’s somewhere on the ocean now, a place he ought to be, with one hand on the starboard rail, he’s waving back at me” Edited September 2, 2023 by woodford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a couple of fiction books he wrote. Enjoyed them all. One of my favorite songs is Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season... there's something about this Sunday, it's a most peculiar gray. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Father in Law introduced me to Mayo on my burgers. Was a revelation for me. Honestly, my wife gets a wee irritated with me when I want a burger, and not want to go outside and grill it myself. I head off to Burger King and get a Whopper. Nice and messy, and tastes great. Don't bring no McDonalds in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdgeneration 6,681 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I’ve seen him live 3 times. Once in the Colosseum and twice at Chastain Park in Atlanta. We missed him in Key West in April by one day. If we’d only known😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Jimmy would be OK with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerfinz 1,369 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Been playing my vinyl Buffett and navigating the sea of emotions that come with his passing.
