It’s drizzling here in Southern California, and in light of the fact that this is probably the last rain we’ll see for the next six months or more, I thought today’s Request Line would feature songs about rain. What’s that, Knowshon? You don’t like songs about rain? They make you sad? Aw, poor widdle baby! You gonna cry about it? Wait, no, stop! I was only kidding, I…[is swept away by a flash flood]

Fun North Cakalaky fact – James Taylor HATES playing this song, and that his fans keep requesting it.
Fun secondary fact – my ex-wife was a huge James Taylor dork, and I once bought her a $1,200 artsy framed photo of him from his druggie days at a cool shop in La Jolla (for Kwanzaa/Festivus). I miss having disposable income pre-divorce! This is why one of my cats (named pre-divorce) is named JT.

I didn’t forget it, see my footnote. Great song, though.
D’oh!
It is a good enough song that maybe it should be included twice.
In Through The Out Door wasn’t really Led Zeppelin. It was John Paul Jones & The Junkies.
