Can I Please Get a Muthafuckin Moment of Silence...
Yes 32 years ago today, ok Saturday, 29 poor souls ended up in the bottom of Lake Superior. If they only knewsd that one of the best songs ever would be the tribute for there lives. I guess the only way the memorial could have gone any better for me is if some one else was giving me an edmund fitz on Saturday.

"The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy."
"When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya.
At 7 p.m. a main hatchway caved in, he said
Fellas, it's been good to know ya."
