The Band - The Rumor

Don't know why I've got this song on my mind on New Year's Day -- maybe because one key line is "It's a-coming, a brand new day." But the song is about some of the worst human behavior: destructive behind-the-back talk. However, the "brand-new day" line is in there. So maybe it's like a Cormac McCarthy novel, in that we see the evil that humans can do, but see a flicker of hope. In any event, it sounds great, with some wonderful multi-part singing.
