Mass. Jimmy Buffett fans react to his death

For five decades, this Mississippi native sang about life on the beach and his fans couldn't get enough of his feel-good vibe. I was really sad because I grew up in Cocoa Beach, Florida and we listened to Jimmy Buffett, lived on the beach, you know, great lifestyle, and made everybody so happy. In Faneuil Hall, Parrot Heads came to take pictures of the latest Margaritaville Cafe and his chain going up in Boston. Just another ♪ Cheeseburger in paradise ♪ Buffett was a regular for years in the summer concert sheds across New England. The whole of New England, all the way up to the Canadian border, they are diehard sports fans in Boston and music fans as well. The 76-year-old Buffett became a billionaire selling good times that included bars, restaurants, books, and casinos, all about life on the beach. And he made it seem like we could all attain, you know, the happiness that he enjoyed too. Buffett crossed all generations, a lovable beach bum, who loved to say, it's five o'clock somewhere. He passed away on a three-day weekend so we could get an extra day of Margaritaville, which I thought was so sweet.
