1 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: It has been said that Rogers died, because he went back into the burning airplane to rescue people. It may be a myth, but at least one survivor reported that he escaped because he heard someone yelling, "Follow my voice!" and did so. |
2 | ** "Flowers of Bermuda" is about a ship's captain who has one of these and dies smelling the titular flowers while his crew escapes with their lives. |
3 | * MistakenAge: Because of his awesomely rich and powerful baritone voice (and several songs about aging, such as "Lies" and "Forty-Five Years"), many people don't realize he wrote and sang his hits in his twenties and early 30s, and died at 33. |
4 | * NewerThanTheyThink: Many of his songs (especially "Barrett's Privateers") are mistaken for traditional folk songs; some of the confusion is because he also made recordings of (actual) old sea shanties like "Rollin' Down to Old Maui". |
5 | * SignatureSong: "Barrett's Privateers" and "Northwest Passage." |
