Further thoughts...

...Hey thanks for the comments. Actually "Rain" is in my top 5 favorite Beatles' songs. I love the layered guitar and almost spooky vocals. This song also has some of Mr. Starkey's finest drum work ("Ticket to Ride" being my favorite Beatles' tune has some pretty nice stickwork as well). Paul's bass fill's are outstanding. John was just entering his lyrical peak period (late '65 to '68) with the group. When I hear artists like Matthew Sweet, Paul Westerberg, Steve Earle, etc., I think I hear the influence of "Rain" on alot of their material. Oh yeah, the other side of the single ain't too bad itself (my bias is exposed, me being a Lennon fan and all...)
