 A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1962 in Chip Monck's apartment in the basement of the Village Gate (now The Village Theater) on the corner of Bleecker and Thompson Streets in Greenwich Village.
Although Dylan may have first played the song to friends, "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" was formally premiered at Carnegie Hall on 22 September 1962 as part of a hootenanny organized by Pete Seeger.
Although he was originally given a ten-minute set to do three songs, Dylan's set was extended to twenty minutes to make room for "Hard Rain's" six-and-a-half minutes of apocalyptic vision.

ASSASSIN JOHN RAIN is "a freelancer, a straddler, connected to many worlds, but a part of none." Half Japanese and half American, he's never felt home in either society.
Rain himself comes across as a lethal but strangely intriguing killer--one who grew up in two countries and was accepted in neither.
The novel is told in the first person, from Rain's perspective, and Eisler gives the reader an intense, close-up feel of noir Tokyo, the various cross hairs of the CIA and the Japanese mafia, and the mentality behind brutal murder.

 Bob Dylan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Freewheelin' song "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall", built melodically from a loose adaptation of the stanza tune of the folk ballad Lord Randall, with its veiled references to nuclear apocalypse, gained even more resonance as the Cuban missile crisis developed only a few weeks after Dylan began performing it.
Perhaps even more so than "Blowin' in the Wind", "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" marked an important new direction in modern songwriting, blending a stream-of-consciousness, imagist lyrical attack with time-honoured folk progressions to create a sound and sense that struck listeners as somehow new and ancient simultaneously.
The spring 1976 half of the tour was documented by a TV concert special, Hard Rain, and the LP Hard Rain; no concert album from the better-received and better-known opening half of the tour would be released until 2002, when Live 1975 appeared as the fifth volume in Dylan's official Bootleg Series.

Hard Rain doesn't have the majestic, sweeping themes of those films, though (a style that I absolutely love), and thus, this score stands one step behind of others.

 Qwipster's Movie Reviews - Review: Hard Rain
After some extremely heavy rain, the river near a small Indiana town is overflowing and the dam is about to burst.
This appeared to be a difficult film to make, as all of the action takes place while the actors are standing in several feet of water with rain continuously pouring down.
The puzzling aspect is the continuously well-lit look of the town, which should have lost power early on, and with the storm clouds filling the sky, no moonlight should have pervaded.
