That's that the title of a Stevie Ray Vaughn album (or as Wendy (26 years old) calls them, "Big CD's"), but the weather here today is just plain, old fashioned, crappy. It is currently 35 degrees and raining on the shortest (2nd shortest?) day of the year. The only weather I hate worse is when it's real cold (like negative 20 degrees farenheit with a wind chill of about 40 below).
One thing I've been doing between researching my cancer, planning trips, planning my funeral (but more importantly my Irish wake) :-) is thinking up themed CD's. I have one entiled Rain and here's what I have so far:
Rain
1. Like the Weather Natalie Merchant and the 10,000 Maniacs
2. Who’ll Stop the Rain CCR
3. Rain The Beatles
Any Suggestions?
P.S. to Aaron: How you coming on your top 25 all-time albums? I'll give you two of mine: The Who, Who Are You? and Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill.

Rain Drops Keep Fallin on my Head...
I've always liked "Have You Ever Seen the Rain? (Comin' Down on a Sunny Day?)" by Creedence (as we used to call them back in the day!!) It has a straight-forward complexity & depth to it!! Ha ha. Whatever that means!! Great to have seen and "interacted" with you and all! Or as The Uncle says, "Great to see and be seen!"
Aunt Patty
or this:
Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach
Is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Layin' in the fields
Love
Reign o'er me
Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me
Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn
To the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears
From all high
Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me
Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spent apart alone
I need to get back home
To cool cool rain
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Woo Oh God I need a drink
Of cool cool rain
Love
Reign o'er me
Rain over me
Over me
Over me
Love
Reign o'er me
On me
Love...
you should know this one.....not on your favorite album of theirs, but still.
Kelly,
Unfortunately, this website is no good at telling you which columns the responses are made to when they notify by e-mail that a response has been made. Next time, if you happen to remember, say something like "in response to the Jan. __ 2007 blog" it would help me out a lot.
The problem with The Who was not that they didn't have a lot of great songs (they did), but there were not any really great albums (other than the one I mentioned). For the same reason, the Kinks won't make my list at all.
"Mandolin Rain" --Bruce Hornsby & the Range
From Bruce Green:
I meant to post the following rain songs, but can’t figure out how to do. So I am emailing:
No Rain: Blind Melon
Black Sheets of Rain: Bob Mould (of Husker Du fame)
I Can See Clearly Now (the Rain is Gone): Jackie Wilson?
Red Rain: Peter Gabriel
It Never Rains in California: I have no clue who sang this.
