No quips. He was one of my Dad's favorites.
If You Could Read My Mind is quite a song. It's amazing how I appreciate songs now that I used to think were crap.

Dan Fogelberg (R.I.P.) does not deserve to smell your shit. |

No, you're thinking of Harry Chapin. |

Sometimes I think its a shame, when I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain. |

He could’ve stopped making music after Early Morning Rain and still be better than 99% of what’s out there since . |

I have a sinking feeling Peoria Matt is going to start in with the Edmund Fitzgerald quips. |

That fucking boat needs a movie with a curvy starlet and the new Leo DiCaprio, whomever that is. That was awesome when he was like, "I'm king of the world!" Kate Winslet is hot. They should make a Thor Heyerdahl movie, too. |

For me it’s “I don’t know where the feelings gone, and I just can’t get it back”. |

Favorite Lightfoot line is from Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald: "Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?" Favorite song by him, though, is Carefree Highway. |

This song has good lyrics I think: In the early mornin' rain With a dollar in my hand With an aching in my heart And my pockets full of sand I'm a long ways from home And I missed my loved one so In the early mornin' rain With no place to go Out on runway number nine Big seven o seven set to go Well I'm stuck here on the grass Where the pavement never grows Now the liquor tasted good And the women all were fast There she goes my friend She'll be rolling down at last Hear the mighty engines roar See the silver wing on high She's away and westward bound Far above the clouds she'll fly Where the mornin' rain don't fall And the sun always shines She'll be flying over my home In about three hours time This ol' airport's got me down It's no earthly good to me And I'm stuck here on the ground As cold and drunk as I can be You can't jump a jet plane Like you can a freight train So I best be on my way In the early mornin' rain You can't jump a jet plane Like you can a freight train So I best be on my way In the early mornin' rain |
