JERRY: (Correcting her) Edmund Fitzgerald.
ELIANE: I love Edmund Fitzgerald's voice.
JERRY: No, Gordon Lightfoot was the singer. Edmund Fitzgerald was the ship.
GEORGE: (Talking about his would-be apartment) You could fit 15 people in that bathroom..
ELAINE: I think Gordon Lightfoot was the boat.
JERRY: (Sarcastic) Yeah, and it was rammed by the Cat Stevens.
Could still happen!
:) We love our lakes, we just don't want to meet them up close and personal.
LOL
It also started raining in that game and I could have sworn that it was snow until it got down in the stadium.
But by then I had a "few" adult beverages so I wasn't exactly paying close attention :)
Almost 720 feet I believe.
I swam in Superior in September and it was plenty cold then.
And my humble entry (the Wretch that is Patrick Fitzgerald):

I would believe it.
I can't imagine any of the lakes been especially warm :)
Lake Erie in my mind is a river not a lake.
The water does not stay in Erie long enough to be a true lake.
The water in Lake Erie turns over 3 to 4 times a year.
Lake Erie is a slow moving very wide river.
An old friend of mine had a cousin on board.
Rest in Peace.
Saving for later reading. Thank you.
A lot of info on the "Fitz".
My mom was once attacked by Gordon Lightfoot back in 1971. He had to be restrained by three security guys.
thanks for passing that along
LOL. They showed that episode YESTERDAY.
Interesting stuff. I used to know a guy named Dick Race who owned a research vessel. He claimed to have been in on the search for the Fitz. In doing some research on the net I found out he died. His favorite quote was, " ARGH, it went democratic" when he discovered something had gone wrong.
Do you think it plowed into the bottom, on a wave trough?
I prefer Lightfoot's other shipwreck song- "Ballad of the Yarmouth Castle". More fun to play ;)
For those of you who think musicians are not prophetic check out the lyrics to an early 60's Lightfoot tune called "Pride of Man". Spooky.
