Part 1 of my conversation with guest Ric Dube as we dissect a classic mid-1970s song from a Canadian music legend. I've also got the Bonehead of the Week and music from Sloan and Stars. Show notes: - Recorded at More Lost Time world HQ - Dissecting Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Song's a total downer, no pun intended - Based on a true life incident in 1975 - Sounds like Lightfoot put the Wikipedia entry to music - Checking out the early '70s Canadian band Lighthouse - Sounds like the Guess Who or Blood, Sweat and Tears - Lightfoot's "Sundown" is a much better song - Ric: A little like Velvet Underground's "Loaded" - Frank Chacksfield, the king of elevator music - Making slow '70s songs even slower - Pat Boone and Paul Anka later made entire albums covering hard rock songs - Anne Murray dominated Canadian radio in the '70s - Canadian content rule meant a third of music on the radio had to be Canadian - A random song from The Randoms to wash the MOR crap away - Teenage Head was an Ontario punk band from the late '70s - CanCon meant a lot of bands got on the radio that normally wouldn't have - Bonehead of the Week Music: Stars - Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When You Give It Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.
