Well, today marks the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmond Fitzgerald.
Probably one of my favorite songs, I didn’t realize until just a few years ago that it was about a contemporary event, not some ancient story of a shipwreck — the wreck was in 1975, and the song came out in 1976.
I’ve seen some joking, an uptick in Internet interest; the song and story are having a bit of a moment. Good.
