RIP

That's a sick quote.

He had some bangers. RIP.

I think Neil Young might have something to say about that haha. Gordon was a legend for sure though. Has anyone ever used WOTEF for a video part? I feel like that could work surprisingly well.

Some other lesser known bangers everyone should listen to; Blackberry Wine, Slide On Over, Baby Get Back, Fading Away, etc. His debut Lightfoot! is such a perfect fall album.

definitely a "they took err jobs" ballad
Bob Dylan "once I hear (lightfoot's) songs, I wish they never ceased.'

not so fun fact: some of the bodies of the Edmund Fitzgerald are still within the ship and would be more effort to retrieve (at cost being: further human loss) and are still inside the ship. the video goes in depth to what a human body looks like due to years of prolonged exposure to water and what it takes to recover such remains, brings value to the the story and provides a glimpse of how an industry the Midwest relied would claim lives on the regular.
