And NOOOOO!. The song is a LIE. One time they're telling me that it NEVER RAINS IN CALIFORNIA and next they're telling me IT POURS. My head hurts!
Any show that opens with George Carlin has to be good. Very funny.
I remember that song about Southern California. For some reason, that area of the country has always seemed very mythical to me. Of course, I live on the other side of our great country and have never been there, but it seems like a cool place.
Between you and Niels, we're gonna cover all of Tom Waits stuff before it's over (you know, the 2012 end of the world thingy).
I love CCR. I don't have any of their studio albums, bu I really want to change that. This is just a great song.
It's down to the two "Rainmaker"'s for the Golden Pell. I'm going with Traffic. It's Sunday and overcast in Georgia, therefore this song was absolutely perfect.
Hey, Jon mentions a flood. There is a Christian band named Jars Of Clay that have a sensational song called "Flood". Let me know if you are interested in hearing it.
If you need the Supertramp and Kansas songs, let me know. The album where that Kansas song is from is actually about a flood way back when, so it's a concept album I guess. Really good album, probably my favorite Kansas album.
Johnny Nash...where did I get that from? Are there different versions of the song maybe?

That Johnny Nash song 9I'm just guessing it was Johnny Nash) really annoyed me when I was a wee lad. He first says it never rains in Californis, then he says it pous, man it pours. MAKE UP YOUR MIND! Still bugs me to this day.
I kinda dug the Tom Waits track. I dunno, I think I'm turning into a fan the more his stuff is posted here. Must be my age.
All the rest was great (I hald listened to the Traffic song, have it, but during the solo I was thinking, hey, is this....Traffic? Guess you had to be there?)
The Rainmaker song was cool, maybe you should post oh...Rainmaker by Kansas? Just a thought.
These just keep getting better and better! Are there more?????
I remember seeing that Carlin bit on the Johnny Carson show. Great memories!
It might never rain in So Cal, but in Florida it rains for 10 minutes every afternoon! Weird what humidity will do. nothing like a cloudless days, hot and sweaty and then out of nowhere! Wham!, a down pour for 10 minutes. Nice opening tune.
Not a Tom Waits fan, and that tune didnt help me out much. Maybe Jon will respond better to that one. However, love your narrative on the track.
Love the musicality of the Traffic tune! Chorus was kinda boring, but the music was very nice.
Rainmaker tunes have a very Native American flavor to them. Just a thought. One of these two tunes has to be the Golden Pell...
...and so the Golden Pell goes to ... Traffic!
Nice show and series!
There are no birthdays today
