“Something In the Air” by Thunderclap Newman (f/ Shaun Rohland)

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by my longtime friend and music aficionado Shaun Rohland to celebrate the 1969 flower power anthem “Something In the Air” by Thunderclap Newman. We dive into how this song - with its reminder that “we got to get together sooner or later” - perfectly embodies the spirit of its era. Exploring the band’s intriguing history and its connections to The Who, we ponder whether there truly was something in the air that propelled this one-hit wonder to iconic status. Tune in as we relive the magic of a song that captures the zeitgeist of a transformative time.
