Dire Straits

WOW, those photo looks great!

Your favorites Dire Straits list, for the moment, is very similar to my.

[EaglesKiwi]

Wow, that's a cool photo.

Thanks for posting your list of faves. I'm going to hunt some of those down to see what I've been missing

[TimothyBFan]

Thanks for the list FP--it will help me track down the stuff I want to listen to on the albums. Gotta tell you, LOVING Brothers In Arms!!!!

[Troubadour]

That's a great photo, FP.

Here's a song I love that didn't make your list. (Funnily enough, my Mum calls me Belle. The nickname started as Lulabelle, then I guess she got lazy. )

Willie - I'm sure you will continue to enjoy delving into the Dire Straits catalogue!

I have been worrying since yesterday that I didn't include any songs from Communique in the list. Portobello Belle is a favourite as you can imagine, because it's about London; if you look at both lists you will see a heavy sprinkling of songs about England.

Mark is going to tour with Bob Dylan. I suppose that means opening for him.

This is not a move that I can endorse. I saw Dylan in April and to put it mildly he has lost a great deal that made him what he was as a performer. Mark on the other hand is still at the top of his game. I'm pleased for the people in Europe but I want him back here!

It also says he has recorded one of Dylan's songs for a 70th birthday tribute album. Now that I can deal with.

Sanity prevails. I was in Canada last week. They must have known.

Pretty ironic that it happened while you were there. Did you have a secret meeting with someone there?

Seriously happy to hear this! That was one of the dumbest things I had ever seen when they did that, especially considering it was a 30 year old song!

[sodascouts]

Exactly! I'm just glad they came to their senses.

Otherwise, it would be one more example of well-intentioned government censorship backfiring.

I have just bought Brothers In Arms from itunes, sitting here listening to it play through. Loving it all so far, in particular "Your Latest Trick" which I haven't heard so much (compared to Money For Nothing and Walk of Life which were EVERYWHERE at one time).
