30 Years Since Edmund Fitgerald

It was November of '75 when the SS Edmund Fitzgerald went down
without a word, taking 29 sailors to the bottom of Lake Superior.

And inspired one of the greatest "make me late for work songs" ever.
Whenever Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" comes
on the radio I have to listen to it all, even if it causes me to be
late for work.

Never met anyone who *didn't* love that song--though this thread will no
doubt troll up an example.

That lonesome, haunting guitar hook and those tragic lyrics make it one
of the all time greats.
