Harrison Ford on Jimmy Buffett

Speaking at the Hollywood Bowl tribute.

Jimmy Buffett was a cool guy. A lot of cool guys are not that nice. Jimmy was more than nice. He was kind.

paraphrase but pretty close. (oh looks like it’s up on YouTube already). Occurred to me watching that Harrison Ford probably could’ve been a great standup.

Brandi Carlisle said whenever she was in some random spot and wanted to go fishing, she’d call Jimmy Buffett and soon some salty dog captain would pick her up.

The Coral Reefers Band has held together for close to fifty years.

Everyone mentioned that Jimmy Buffett had “a twinkle in his eye.” The word “generous” came up a lot. Everyone’s story was about like flying with Jimmy (or refusing to) in St. Barth’s or meeting him by chance on some island.

If after you die Paul McCartney sings “Let It Be” at a sold out tribute to you, not bad.

More on Jimmy. May as well watch Brandi Carlisle sing Come Monday:
