In keeping with the water theme...

Here's a watery revelation from Pete (source: Off The Record Classic radio 
show, week of May 11, 1998):

"I actually had an almost, like a spiritual experience which I tried to 
recreate on the Quadrophenia album.  When I was a kid I used to be in the Sea 
Scouts and we went out one day on the Thames in a motorboat and it had an outboard 
motor, a very old cranky outboard motor, and it was droning away.  And while 
it was droning away I heard all this music come from the sound of it and it 
kind of blissed me out, is the only way I can describe it, and when they switched 
the motor off at the end I just went *crazy*, I burst into tears and I wanted 
them to put it back on again and I just wanted to hear that music again that 
I heard, and I guess that what I've been trying to do musically, not lyrically 
but musically, ever since that day is try to recreate and approach that 
sound."


I've Been Away, so apologies if Somebody Saved Me has already been mentioned 
as having I believe four references to rain.
