Goth vebe is a subculture that emerged in the late 1970s as a response to the punk rock movement. It is characterized by its dark aesthetic, melancholic music, and emphasis on individualism and self-expression. Goth vebe style often includes black clothing, heavy makeup, and various accessories such as chains, spikes, and leather. Surf Curse is an American indie rock band formed in Reno, Nevada in 2013. Comprised of duo Nick Rattigan and Jacob Rubeck, the band's music is often described as a blend of surf rock, indie pop, and punk. Surf Curse gained popularity through their lo-fi recordings and catchy melodies, drawing comparisons to bands like The Drums and Best Coast.
This odd weather phenomenon grows even more strange when you dig deeper into history.
It happened last year, when quickly falling temperatures on the back end of a growing storm turned rain to snow in parts of the Midwest and, in an eerie throwback to 1975, prompted forecasters to issue gale warnings for Lake Superior. On November 11, 1911, many locations in Missouri established records in terms of the largest daily temperature swing and this remarkable occurrence remains unprecedented today, wrote Guinan.
Surf Curse gained popularity through their lo-fi recordings and catchy melodies, drawing comparisons to bands like The Drums and Best Coast. Goth vebe and Surf Curse may seem like unlikely allies, but they both share a common thread of unconventional and non-mainstream expression. Both subcultures place value on individualism and authenticity, refusing to adhere to societal norms and expectations.
"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down, of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee. The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November.
Many people are not aware that the song, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, by Gordon Lightfoot, is associated with a real life event. Even fewer people really know where he first got the idea to write the song The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. When Gordon Lightfoot first heard about the wreck, he did so through a news article in Newsweek, and as a commemoration to the wreck and to the men, Lightfoot composed a song. The song was released in 1976 and became a top ten hit!
Gordon Lightfoot usually is very protective of this song and the wishes of the family members and is in no way "for" exploiting the victims, or their family members. He has also appeared at several 25th anniversary memorial services in support of the families and is in personal contact with many of them. Every family member that we have interviewed on this website agrees that Lightfoot is "a good guy," "a genuine man," and even "blessed."
The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee."
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
when the skies of November turn gloomy.
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty,
that good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
when the "Gales of November" came early.
The ship was the pride of the American side
coming back from some mill in Wisconsin.
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
with a crew and good captain well seasoned,
concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
when they left fully loaded for Cleveland.
And later that night when the ship's bell rang,
could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
and a wave broke over the railing.
And ev'ry man knew, as the captain did too
'twas the witch of November come stealin'.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
when the Gales of November came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
in the face of a hurricane west wind.
When suppertime came the old cook came on deck sayin'.
"Fellas, it's too rough t'feed ya."
At 7 P.M. a main hatchway caved in; he said,*
"Fellas, it's bin good t'know ya!"*
*(now: "At 7 p.m., it grew dark, it was then he said, Fellas it's bin good t'know ya!")
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
and the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when 'is lights went outta sight
came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Does any one know where the love of God goes
when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
if they'd put fifteen more miles behind 'er.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
they may have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
of the wives and the sons and the daughters.
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
in the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;
the islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
with the Gales of November remembered.
In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
in the "Maritime Sailors' Cathedral."
The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they call "Gitche Gumee."
"Superior," they said, "never gives up her dead
when the gales of November come early!"
