Background & Context
As a music and radio industry veteran, I’ve seen my fair share of storms, both literal and figurative, but this one is different. We’re talking about Rain in LA, a city notorious for its sunshine, and the havoc it’s wreaking on new umbrellas. It’s like a strange metaphor for the industry – newbies coming in with their shiny expectations, only to be battered by the unexpected. This video is more than just an amusing take on weather anomalies, it’s a commentary on how preparedness and adaptability are key in any industry, especially ours.
