My father (of whom I have mentioned before I have a fraught relationship) was a Parrothead. Songs You Know By Heart was a regular on drives, Margaritaville was a button on the XM, he got margarita glasses and learned how to make the drinks by hand to “do it right”, and he got items specifically to safely beer can chicken on the grill.I haven’t spoken to him since coming out, but I’m sure he’s in mourning today. --

Everyone's going to mention "Margaritaville" today, but this was Jimmy's best song.
I really do appreciate
The fact you're sittin' here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But your face don't look too clear
So barmaid bring a pitcher
Another round of brew
Honey why don't we get drunk and screw? Why don't we get drunk and screw?
I just bought a waterbed
It's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So why don't we get drunk and screw?
Pick it, Coral Reefers, here we go Why don't we get drunk and screw?
I just bought a waterbed
It's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So why don't we get drunk and screw?
Yeah now baby say I say
Why don't we get drunk and screw?

I had my first margarita yesterday in memory. It was pretty good, though a bit stronger than it tastes.

Authors of our fates
Orchestrate our fall from grace
Poorest players on the stage
Our defiance drives us straight to the edge
