Mine does not have a yellow lid, but I have been using mine for many, many years. DD gave it to me because I like the bird.

It says "Heaven on Earth with an onion slice"

RIP Jimmy, we used to go 30 strong to his shows every year at Irvine Meadows, sometimes we never left the huge party in the parking lot.
People would trailer their boats, 100's of pounds of sand set up tiki bars, numerous kegs of beer. Thanks Jimmy for all the good times.
PS. Cheese burgers are on the menu tonight.

Hated to read about it yesterday morning, loved his music, his music will live on for a long time, I can't even play the radio very well and his voice sounded fine to me, not jealous of his hard work and accomplishments. Didn't know he was suffering. Must've been a very private person as a lot of other folks would have been on every talk show and magazine in the country.

He wrote four books. If you have the chance, read them. It's not just the story, it's the philosopy.

Thanks to Jimmy Buffett, among so many other things, i got to know and appreciate Bob Marley. SO much under the hood.

I do *NOT* see a big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer. Please try again.

One partial verse from "He Went to Paris" has stuck with me for a long time:

"Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I had a good life all the way."

1. He didn't have the best voice.
2. His song writing to me was unoriginal and simplistic.
3. He was selling something I already had and didn't need from him nor could I relate to his version of.
I grew up surfing and spending much of my life on or near the beach(NJ, Puerto Rico, San Diego, Mexico, Florida, Portugal, Hatteras) and still do to this day and my perception of such a life differs vastly from the typical "parrot heads".
But he certainly parlayed his "brand" of a certain lifestyle into a money making machine.

Jim, looks like you know what I meant on my other post.

Funny coincidence.
We happened to be in Leadville, Colorado two days ago. We were waiting for the Silver Dollar Saloon to open for lunch and we struck up a conversation with another couple. They told us that Jimmy Buffet passed (We had not heard) and they traveled a couple of hours to have lunch in the booth that Jimmy wrote "Incommunicado".
Edit: Here are some pics inside the saloon

Like some here, not a real Parrothead. I have nothting against him or his music, just not my cup of tea. I do have 3 pairs of his shoes and love the heck out of 'em.

So for those of you are in pain, you have my condolences, I remember what it felt like when we lost Duane & Ronnie.
