The Quadcast - Rain

Joey’s Song

What if a song could change the way you see a stormy day? Join us as we explore the powerful connection between music and weather, kicking off with the unpredictable climates of Wisconsin and Chicago. We uncover how iconic rain-themed songs like Prince's "Purple Rain" and The Beatles' "Rain" capture our emotions and shape our moods. Our musical journey takes a nostalgic turn into the heart of the Motown era, highlighting the Temptations' shift from cheerful love songs to thought-provoking tracks like "I Wish it Would Rain."
Ever wondered how controversies shape the music industry? Dive into the intriguing tales of musical mimicry and scandals that rocked the charts. We discuss Vanilla Ice's infamous sample of "Under Pressure" and the rise and fall of Milli Vanilli in a world where appearances sometimes overshadow authenticity. This episode also shines a spotlight on the unique sound of Garbage, with Butch Vig and Shirley Manson delivering the grunge and emo vibes that defined the 90s. Their hit "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" serves as a perfect example of this era's distinctive angst.
As we celebrate the magic of music, we reveal the excitement behind the Joey's Song events, where artists gather to perform unforgettable covers in support of epilepsy research. With musicians from bands like The Bangles and Goo Goo Dolls, these concerts promise a fusion of styles and a vibrant community spirit. Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming events, and don't forget to engage with us on social media for more behind-the-scenes fun and announcements. Join us in celebrating the transformative power of music and the camaraderie of the Joey's Song community.
