Finally! Rain!
I group around Seattle and for the longest time I hated the rain. My senior year of high school, it rained a record-breaking 90+ days straight. Take that, Noah. That much constant rain definitely puts a damper on one’s mood and it was definitely a factor in my decision to attend college in sunny southern California.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love sunshine. But it’s only rained about 2 inches in Los Angeles this year and I have been feeling a very deep and primal yearning for a change of pace in the form of precipitation.
A few years back, I saw David Garza, one of my favorite musicians, performing at the Largo. He covered the Eddie Rabbitt song above, mostly as a joke. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find an mp3 of that performance, but ever since, whenever it rains I’ve busted out the tune. It’s a deliciously guilty pleasure.
