3077...Thirty Five Years Have Passed

Since Lake Superior swallowed the Edmund Fitzgerald.

That tragedy spawned Gordon Lightfoot's biggest hit, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

The song was favoured by all top 40 dee jays coz it was 5 59 long, offering them a chance to take care of bidness while it was spinning.

All dee jays but one that is. Bob McCord, legendary PM drive jock at 630CHED, hated the song so
much he sunk it a second time, this time with torpedos on air in the summer of '77.
