One of my favorite songs is by him - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Last fall when we were up in northern Michigan they had gail force winds with up to 20 ft waves, and I kept singing that song over and over.
“Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early…”
Oh my! I had the news on, and they literally just played Sundown, and mentioned that he had passed away. I hadn’t heard, and I didn’t notice that you had that in your post.
Our mom has almost all of his albums - I think all us kids know all the words to every song even if we haven’t heard them in years - he was a part of my growing up.
He had some great songs. We are headed up to Lake Superior to visit my husband’s brother in a couple weeks. May have to have that song on repeat again…
Tom Arnold in Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery. This is the bathroom scene where Austin is fighting off an attacker in the next stall, and Tom Arnold’s character thinks he’s talking about a gigantic poop. Hahaha
I think this is the second bathroom related submission I’ve made… You can tell what kind of movies my son likes.
True story - This week, on Monday, I attended a business event and one of my guests worked for Marriott for 30 years before getting into manufacturing. I asked if he met many celebrities while working at hotels all over the US. He said, “yes, tons”. He went on to tell me his very favorite celebrity, hands down, was Tina Turner. He said she was completely down to earth, super nice, and hung out with the hotel staff all night. She even asked to work the hotel switchboard, which she did for an hour. I say, “we don’t need another hero”, we just need more Tina Turners.
