The song on COLD ON THE SHOULDER, "The Soul is the Rock" has the line "big rain coming, big rain coming this way". I like it but I'm not SURE what it means. A soul cleansing?

Something like that. I think you have to look at it in Biblical terms of the Great Flood (cleansing of humanity's sins), and Dylan's "It's a Hard Rain Gonna Fall".

DQ,that's what I thought, too.

It just means a big change is on it's way. "Rain on the rock" is a metaphor for washing away the past or maybe even the now irrelevant.

Sort of like how Bob Dylan said,"It's A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall!" ;)
