I was a kid just out of high school, working at my first full time job at a stereo shop and this album was our go-to demo for sound systems.

Great song but I got tired of it

Growing up in MI, he was a staple on the radio. I was 7 when Fitzy went down and it was talked about often. Very sad and awful wreck.

The song was always haunting but very well written.

Got to see Gordon play in the 90s when he came to a venue near Buffalo, NY; great show!

It is a very easy song to tire from. :yesnod:

I got to see him in concert up in Anchorage in 1979. Great show.

I was 7 when Fitzy went down and it was talked about often.

I was 13. That was and continues to be a big deal if you get up around the Duluth area which I do regularly.

Easily at least a top ten in terms of phrasing, the twist of a phrase, and the order of words and lyrics in sentences.

I took Mrs Flex to see him in concert in 2019. Small venue and we had great seats a few rows back from the stage.

For sure we were the youngest people in the audience.

He put on a solid show for a dude in his 80's.

He passed last year; absolute Canadian Legend.

Headstones are one of the most under-rated Canadian bands ever.

Give some of their other stuff a listen. 'Tweeter and the Monkeyman' is a classic.

We saw them in concert too. One of the best (and also shortest) gigs I've seen.
