What's Jimmy Buffet up to these days?

 

 

Too soon?

Speaking of, I went to a game last season and Smash Mouth was in there for the Concert Series, and the lead singer seemed energetic and in good health. I never could have imagined only 1 year later he'd be gone.  He passed just a couple days ago only aged in his 50s.

It wasn't a surprise, he'd been drinking himself to death for years.

Glad you saw him when he was doing well.

He'll have the Mrs call Brad Brach's wife.

I saw McCartney here last summer and he's 80.

It was a different singer, Steve Harwell stopped touring in 2021 and was then officially out of the band in 2022. Still sad but that explains what you saw there last year

Soon to be 74 but he will be back next year.  It will be rescheduled.

Harwell had retired from the band in 2021.  So you must've seen the new lead singer.  Or it was longer ago than last year.  

Edit: MijiT88 beat me to it.

I'm seeing reports that the rescheduled tour will skip small markets because doctors say that playing in some of those places might worsen Bruce's ulcers. It will be just NY, Philly, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Nashville, LA, Chicago, San Francisco, places like that. It's possible that there will be shows in smaller markets limited to Max Weinberg drum solos.

Nationals owner - Hold my beer!

I didn't know Angelos owned the Nats, too.

So presumably, the owner wants to try to claw back some of the owed money?

TBH, I can't blame him.

I can't blame him for trying to lessen the economic impact, but you hammer out all of those details before he announces his retirement.

They urged him to retire and told him they would pay the full contract.

Yeah, that's not cool.  Can't believe this would not have been ironed out in advance.

Yeah, if they're reneging on a deal, then that's totally different.
