I am highly mesmerized by this. Looks like I have something to waste future days on. Me being a huge history nerd is not helping at all, whatsoever.

JERRY: Hey. How's the new place?!
GEORGE: Gone. The tenant association made me give it to this guy because he was an Andrea Doria survivor..
ELAINE: Andrea Doria? Isn't that the one they did the song about?
JERRY: Edmund Fitzgerald.
ELIANE: I love Edmund Fitzgerald's voice.
JERRY: No, Gordon Lightfoot was the singer. Edmund Fitzgerald was the ship.
ELAINE: I think Gordon Lightfoot was the boat.
JERRY: Yeah, and it was rammed by the Cat Stevens.

:lol:

And yeah, Gordon Lightfoot kicks a lot of musical ass..

He still does at age 72. I had the priviledge to see him perform live back in March in the southeastern United States. He still puts on a great show.
