Will AL do a rain-themed set? Or will she find another year of protest?

ETA: 1981

Several years ago I was thinking about a rain mix and started a list of "rain songs."  Then I
stumbled across a list (on a web site?  I can't remember...) with hundreds of them.  There are
a lot of songs with a rain connection or reference.

I'd like a rain set, even one filled with predictable selections. I fear we might be getting a shamelessly self-promotional Concert 4 Kidz set tomorrow, however.

Trivia night featured 10 rain songs, including efforts by Milli Vanilli, Selena Gomez, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eric Clapton, Alan Jackson, Counting Crows, Temptations, Phil Collins, Bruno Mars, and one other. If AL simply played that list, I think only "Let It Rain" and possibly "Rain King" have made 10@10 appearances.

Redding BOB did a wind set yesterday, which I'm guessing will lead into a rain set today. So there's that.

How did they miss Spinal Tap's "Break Like the Wind"?

Adele setting fire to the rain at 9:52... not sure if that's a good or bad omen for the possibilty of a rain set.

Just woke up from my 'snow day' nap.  Listening to some Euro-wankers right now.
