Just a State of Mind: How The Beatles' "Rain" Made Pop Music Weird - Vinyl Friday #99

Описание: Welcome to Vinyl Friday #99. You've probably wondered, for the entirety of your life, what the lasting cultural impact of the Beatles' "Rain" has been, and my friend - it's your lucky day.

In this episode: the many faces of Paul McCartney, melismas and gamakas (pr. GA-ma-kas), and a Harry Belafonte jam session with the cat.

And no, the irony of the sun playing peek-a-boo throughout this video is not lost on me.

Happy Friday, folks!
