Jimmy Buffett was not met with displays of dark clothing, weeping, or other elements of traditional mourning.
Of course it wasn't.
Fans memorialized the 76-year-old purveyor of laidback, beachside rock the proper way, by flocking to the Mayor of Margaritaville's eateries and raising their glasses.
Lee Jameson said she headed to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville at Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles County as soon as she heard on Saturday.
"We woke up, we heard the news, immediately got in the car, and headed straight to Margaritaville right when it opened," she said at the restaurant named for Buffett's hit song.
