The true problem is the song was way overplayed. It has some wonderful or hateful qualities which tun some off and other on. Do you hear a drone or 75mph of wind in the rigging? Lots of facets to it and still, for my money, one of GL's best works. BTW, it had a very mixed effect on the surviving families too.

There are probably as many opinions about this song as there are opinions as to why the Fitz went down. There are actually THREE "OFFICIAL" Reports with three different conclusions. Even after finding the wreck and diving on it, there is still no definitive answer. Perhaps none of the 29 men who lost their lives that night off Whitefish Point knew either.........
