It must be a Yankee thing

Although I was only 5 in 1975, and I know about the sinking, I have never
heard or heard of this song. I consider myself well rounded in musical
taste. I like everything from Classical to Hard Rock and from all decades.
After all the talk about it, I illegally downloaded it and listened,
thinking surely I know this song, I just don't remember it. Well, no.
Never heard it before and doubt I will again.

Sad true story, but my love of Gordon Lightfoot must be tempered with youth

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.
