“That’s what was in his soul.”īuffett died Saturday at age 76. “His music was an escape, and that’s what everybody wants, an escape from their jobs and everything going on in the world,” says Tommy Rocker, who built an iconic Las Vegas club around Buffett’s beach-party vibe.
He was the mayor of Margaritaville, forever an oasis for millions of Parrotheads. Jimmy Buffett was more than a recording star. The Phin City ParrotHeads Club has been partying at Tommy Rocker's club on Dean Martin Drive (formerly Industrial Drive) for nearly two decades.
