Members kulardenu Posted November 11, 2010 Members Share Posted November 11, 2010 November 10, 1975 I remember this when if first came across the news. Still gives me the jitters... The wreck shook Great Lakes shipping to its carlings. To this day, 35 years later, freighters won't get underway on Lake Superior if there's a storm in the forecast [YOUTUBE]hgI8bta-7aw[/YOUTUBE]A profile in courage for the men of the Arthur M. Anderson to go back out in that storm to look for survivors.[YOUTUBE]oyaEDWf_dG8[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members headless Posted November 11, 2010 Members Share Posted November 11, 2010 In 1975 I was in high school, in Southern California, and don't remember hearing about that at all. I did purchase Gordon Lightfoot LP's back then, and I knew the song, but I had always assumed that the incident had happened many decades before the writing of the song. I guess I was a bit clueless back then. Of course, now I know pretty-much everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IdaCrue Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 I've got front row tickets to see Gordon Lightfoot next week. Can't wait, I have seen him before and he is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alecto Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 One of the greatest songs ever written. Hell, even Bob Dylan considered Lightfoot his songwriting superior. [YOUTUBE]Q0DqPSF2fyo[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sh944 Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 I was living in Minneapolis when that happened and was glued to WCCO-AM listening to the reports. I still get chills when I hear that song, and it also made me take a closer listen to Gordon. He's a hell of a player as well as a songwriter. He was also awesome in concert on the handful of times that I have seen him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members maxnew40 Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 A great song indeed. I thought it was about a historic ship wreck at the time and didn't find out until may years later that he was singing about a current event.
