Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

AFTER you've checked your roof for leaks, made sure the kids are safe at school, and briefed yourself on all the serious news about the rainstorm, check out this musical mashup ...
It sure seems like songs about rain are better than songs about the sun. IMHO The Who's "Reign O'er Me" handily beats The Beatles' "Good Day Sunshine," and even Gordon Lightfoot's kinda whiney "Rainy Day People" is better than John Denver's kinda whiney "Sunshine on My Shoulders."
I will admit it's a tossup between Anne Peebles' "I Can't Stand the Rain" and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine."
Please weigh in yourself in the comments below, pass along the mashup (you can listen above!) to people whose roofs are leaking, and nominate YOUR favorite weather songs.
