There are only a few pieces of art (and many knives) in the world that can make me cry, and the song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot is one of them. He takes a minor shipwreck that otherwise would have faded into obscurity and turns it into one of the most moving elegies ever put to music. Even just typing out the line "Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn minutes to hours?" makes me tear up. Uh oh, masculinity is almost gone, so in conclusion football, Camaros, Venus of Willendorf.RATING: 93%

You know what else makes Glenn tear up? Cub scout meetings.
This pic of Gordon Lightfoot is almost as badass as this one of John Denver.
I always thought Gordon Lightfoot was dead. But that's Jim Croce. Is Jim Croce Canadian?
was this revew ironic cause that song is blow
Jim Croce is/was from Philadelphia.
And honestly, I think "If You Could Read My Mind" is the most moving Lightfoot song, but "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is great.
