Did we really need another version of Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 epic? Maybe not, but Jeremy Messersmith needed to get his adaptation out of his head by today, a story that exemplifies the song’s lasting “all-consuming” power.

Gordon Lightfoot wasn’t sure about “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” He recorded it only when the sessions for his album Summertime Dream finished a day and a half early.
His new drummer, Barry Keane, had never played the song before.
That first take is the one that appears on the album.

40 years ago, three Norwegians turned a homemade melody into a pop revolution.
“Take on Me” fills dance floors and still earns a formidable income for A-ha.

‘Take On Me’ has been stuck in our heads for 40 years. Here’s how it got there.
“Take On Me,” the 1980s synth-pop hit song from the band A-ha, marks 40 years of global ubiquity even while personal disputes have chilled the Norwegian trio.

I know it’s November but I am not ready.
❄️❄️❄️Snow is possible in Minnesota next weekend!❄️❄️❄️
We will have moisture, we will have cold air in place, and there will be a low moving across Minnesota and Wisconsin. I'll keep you updated through the week, but you should know this is in the cards.
