It is my duty to let you know that the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank 47 years ago, killing the entire crew.
This tragedy gave way to what is one of Canada's most endearing anthemic songs by our dearly beloved national treasure, the 83-year-old Gordon Lightfoot.
@Snarkysteff South of your border here, but I consider him a national treasure as well. :D
@artildawn :) He's still performing, you know. When the Massey Theatre, one of Canada's most venerable, reopened this year after massive refurbishments, he was the guy who reopened it. He has played over 300 times there, I think.

@Snarkysteff I follow him on FB. can't make any of the concerts, but it's great to see him still out there.
