Happy Hour: A Playlist of Songs About Water
Here's a concept we can get behind.
David "Mas" Masumoto shares the news that the Water Policy Center at the Public Policy Institute of California recently curated a "Water Playlist," with selections from individual members of the Water Policy Center. The playlist ranges from activist and inspirational ("Al meu país la pluja," by Raimon a Xàtiva) to pop smash hits (like "Waterfalls," by TLC, and "Cry Me a River," by Justin Timberlake).
I always include river songs on my annual "Songs About Places" list, but it looks like I'll have to dig a bit deeper and do a bigger water playlist too. There are some great songs on the PPIC playlist, but I can't let Led Zeppelin get credit for a song originally by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy.
