Diplo & Chris Rock
ESCAPE
From Burning Man
Burning Man access both in and out has been shut down due to torrential rain, stranding more than 73,000 attendees. Diplo and Chris Rock with some friends decided to to make their own bid to escape before more scheduled rain descended upon the mud-soaked Playa.
Torrential rains - the same that hammered Las Vegas - turned the entire event’s desert floor into a glue-like pit of ankle-deep mud. For safety concerns, access to and from the site was completely cut off except for emergencies, for Event Officials were concerned that vehicles continuing to cross the muddy landscape would make travel and especially the scheduled Monday departure impossible until the Playa had a chance to dry out.
The traditional burns which would have started Saturday have been postponed indefinitely until the area dries out. They will probably happen at a future date, well after attendees have departed.
They hiked 5 miles in the mud before being picked up by a fan!

Jimmy Buffett
Cause of Death Revealed
Jimmy Buffett passed away Friday at his home in Sag Harbor, New York, at the young age of 76. The cause of death has now been revealed: Merkel cell skin cancer, of which he had been diagnosed four years ago.
Merkel cell carcinoma is an aggressive skin cancer that often begins as "red, shiny nodules on the face, hands and neck," per the MD Anderson Cancer Center.)
In lieu of flowers, Buffett's family is asking fans to instead honor the iconic singer by making donations to Jimmy Buffett’s Foundation Singing for Change, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dana Farber Cancer Institute or the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Touching Tribute To His Friend
Jimmy Buffett
It seems that so many wonderful people are leaving this world, and now Jimmy Buffett is one of them. I’ve known Jimmy for some time and found him to be one of the kindest and most generous people.
I remember once on holiday when I had forgotten to bring my guitar and was itching to play. He said he would get me one of his, but I said, ‘I’m left-handed’. So, Jimmy had his roadie restring one of his guitars which he loaned me for the duration of the holiday. He then followed this act of generosity by giving me my own beautiful left-handed guitar that had been made by one of his guitar-making pals. It’s a beautiful instrument, and every time I play it now it’ll remind me of what a great man Jimmy was.
He had a most amazing lust for life and a beautiful sense of humour. When we swapped tales about the past his were so exotic and lush and involved sailing trips and surfing and so many exciting stories that it was hard for me to keep up with him.
Right up to the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humour that said, ‘I love this world and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it’.
So many of us will miss Jimmy and his tremendous personality. His love for us all, and for mankind as a whole.
Last, but not least, is his songwriting and vocal ability. If someone made an interesting remark he repeated it in his gorgeous Louisiana drawl and said, ‘That’s a good idea for a song’. Most times it didn’t take too long for that song to appear. I was very happy to have played on one of his latest songs called ‘My Gummy Just Kicked In’. We had a real fun session and he played me some of his new songs. One, in particular, I loved was the song, ‘Bubbles Up’. And I told him that not only was the song great but the vocal was probably the best I’ve heard him sing ever. He turned a diving phrase that is used to train people underwater into a metaphor for life when you’re confused and don’t know where you are just follow the bubbles - they’ll take you up to the surface and straighten you out right away.
So long, Jim. You are a very special man and friend and it was a great privilege to get to know you and love you. Bubbles up, my friend.
Love, Paul
