Has a great sound to it, but it's a bugger on your fingers that's for sure. Strings are way high off the frets... almost if it was intended to be a slide guitar. Keep meaning to lower the string board, but never get there..

Isn't that a dobro?

that Dire Straits song "Money for nothing" is one of their best...
1984-85-ish ?
"Sultans of swing" is great too

I think that song was one of the 1st MTV videos I ever saw

with the square looking animation stuff

the little faggot with an earing & makeup
the little faggot has his own jet airplane
the little faggot is a millionaire
that little faggot gets money for nothing & their chicks for free
(faggots don't get chicks or do they ?)
was it Michale Jackson ?
was it Elton John ?

Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx claimed it was about them & their looks/lifestyles
Hairband days

The story goes they used what they overheard in a department store for the lyrics.

you have good memories of it

I have loved Dire Straits since their debut album came out with "Sultans of Swing" and several other great songs. It's still one of my favs - something about Knopfler's haunting guitar. Brothers in Arms and Communique are pretty good albums too.

You missed "yeah buddy, that's his own hair".

...and as I said in the other post with this same title, I believe boy george is on the screen when that line comes along.

...and for the past three weeks I have not been able to get the guitar parts of Sultans Of Swing out of my head.

The first Dire Straits song I ever heard was Skate Away.

Then Industrial Disease.

My Mom out on the fire escape of the Peterborough YMCA where she stayed when working as a maid for the cities elite. She also had some pictures of the vets marching down George Street after the war from the same venue. The other pics are the homestead she grew up on, riding one of the work horses and her successful bear hunt to help feed her siblings. Mom was the oldest of 6 and just Gramma in the middle of nowhere. Grampa took off to find work in the 30's and never came back.
