The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

[Stevicus]

Was just reminded of this song in another thread.

This was played a lot back in the 70s.

[Eyes to See]

Gordon Lightfoot's songs were influenced a lot by old time shanties.

This is my favorite of his:

 

[F1fan]

Total hoax. You know it.

 

[The Hammer]

Total hoax. You know it.

The Titanic is the real hoax.

 

[Revoltingest]

The Titanic is the real hoax.

F1fan is a hoax....not a real poster, just a bot.
Although it's a sophisticated one. At first I really
thought it was human.

And no one is suspicious that I am you.

 

[F1fan]

Don't tell me there wasn't enough room on that door for another person.
The movie is just feminism going overboard.

 

[Revoltingest]

And no one is suspicious that I am you.

No, my sock puppet is someone else on RF.
It's hard enuf to manage 2 personas, but 3
would be beyond my abilities.

 

[The Hammer]

And no one is suspicious that I am you.

And we are Legion.

The Truth is out there. @Revoltingest wears socks.

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

I sincerely want there to be an all-woman Gordon Lightfoot cover band called "The Gayles of November."

 

[Revoltingest]

The Truth is out there. @Revoltingest wears socks.

With sandals!

 

[The Hammer]

With sandals!

Sacrilege! Blasphemy! Heretic!

Wonderful!

I feel I am on the
Threshold of a Persona*

* a Hong Kong movie but im not in it.

More marine misfortune

 

[F1fan]

More marine misfortune

That's actually a pretty good tune.

Speaking of whale blubber, I need to make my salad.

I sense that you could be a movie star....if you wanted.

James Cameron after the MythBusters attempted to settle the debate:
"I think you guys are missing the point here. The script says Jack died. He has to die. So maybe we screwed up and the board should have been a little tiny bit smaller, but the dude’s goin’ down."

I remember on the IMDb Titanic board, this question came up a lot. Then there was the part where Rose threw the diamond overboard. That raised a lot of people's hackles.
