Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this episode, the skipper and Gilligan navigate the choppy waters surrounding the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the rebirth of its memory as a #1 hit by Gordon Lightfoot in 1975. Bound for Detroit, they circumnavigate the dangerous currents associated with taking on historical events in song and film. They seem to be heading toward a safe port with the common Great Lakes experience shared by the US and Canada...until Ty steers the SS Unity dangerously close to Niagara Falls. Batten down the hatches...that's the wrath of the north wind you're feeling.Songs:Joan Jett - I Love Rock and RollMadonna - Dress You UpChilliwack - My Girl Dolly Parton - 9 to 5Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck of the Edmund FitzgeraldThe Pogues and the Dubliners - The Irish RoverStan Rogers - Mary Ellen CarterRod Stewart - Tonight's the NightElvis Presley - Early Morning RainGordon Lightfoot - SundownSufjan Stevens - Say Yes! to M!ch!gan!Simon and Garfunkel - Sounds of SilenceBill Cole - Ballad of Gilligan's IsleChime of Wrens - BillowBill Frisell - PipelineRobert Randolph - Ain't Nothing Wrong With ThatChicago Mass Choir - Take It to JesusRick Astley - Never Gonna Give You UpBoney M - RasputinBob Dylan - HurricaneMarvin Gaye - What's Going OnBooks:Michael Schumacher - Mighty Fitz: The Sinking of the Edmund FitzgeraldT.
