Todd Snyder. "the mayor of East Nashville". I had just started getting into his music. The thing that hit me was the tribute call in show hosted by Elizabeth Cook. She was very close to Todd and took a few days off. She used her weekly call in show as a tribute. Other well known musicians, from his genre, called in to tell stories about Todd. The show made me understand the huge impact he had on other people. Another tribute was a video by Otis Gibbs, another friend of his, who discussed what he knew about Todd's last days, and stories of course.
Todd had a way with story telling. Sad how he ended. He will be missed.

It was Ian Curis's death, by suicide, that affected me the most. On hearing about Joy Division's singer's death I wrote a letter to my best friend and we exchanged letters about his death - this was all before the email and social media!

Keith Moon - The Who was never the same after he died.

Yep... ?
Buffett for me, too. Heard his music as a 13 y.o. on a crazy good country fm station broadcasting out of west memphis, arkansas in the early 70s. Wore the grooves out on White Sport Coat and Changes. Read his books too. Check out the 30-minute documentary "All That Is Sacred." As a fly fisherman, it's perfect, and I do not use that word loosely when describing art.
when my son was a year old, Buffett visited a book store in DC to sign his book Jolly Mon. The Jolly Mon is a children's book by Jimmy Buffett and his daughter, Savannah Jane Buffett, published in 1988, based on the folklore of a magical fisherman who uses a guitar to lure fish from the sea in the Caribbean. The story, illustrated by Lambert Davis, follows the Jolly Mon's adventures as he travels the islands, encountering pirates and befriending a dolphin, and includes a musical score and a reading by Buffett. It's a tale of friendship, courage, and adventure, inspired by the song "Jolly Mon Sing". Was able to get it autographed by the man and gave it to my son for his first christmas. very special
@mysexualgoodtime What a great story! Thanks for sharing. I was in line at a popular burger joint (yes, it's true) in Nashville in '94. Buffett was a few people in front of me. I totally was a fanboy and politely told home I really liked his books. I think he appreciated that more than me saying how much I love "Margaritaville." Did not ask for sn autograph tho. I was with music biz folks, and that is kinda frowned on, lol.
