The singer-songwriter, who popularized beach bum soft rock with the escapist song and turned that celebration of loafing into an empire of restaurants, resorts and frozen concoctions, has died.

The song is the unhurried portrait of a loafer on his front porch, watching tourists sunbathe while a pot of shrimp is beginning to boil. The singer has a new tattoo, a likely hangover and regrets over a lost love. Somewhere there is a misplaced salt shaker."What seems like a simple ditty about getting blotto and mending a broken heart turns out to be a profound meditation on the often painful inertia of beach dwelling," Spin magazine wrote in 2021.
Music critics were never very kind to Buffett or his catalogue, including the sandy beach-side snack bar songs like"Fins,""Come Monday" and"Cheeseburgers in Paradise." But his legions of fans, called"Parrotheads," regularly turned up for his concerts wearing toy parrots, cheeseburgers, sharks and flamingos on their heads, leis around their necks and loud Hawaiian shirts.
Buffett's evolving brand began in 1985 with the opening of a string of Margaritaville-themed stores and restaurants in Key West, followed in 1987 with the first Margaritaville Café nearby. Over the course of the next two decades, several more of each opened throughout Florida, New Orleans and California.
