Heard this on the radio a little while ago.
How has this song escaped the PC shite?

Just curious is all. Dire Straights did some solid work.

They do remove the "F" word that describes a bundle of sticks.

Not on the link I provided. And certainly not on 95.7 this evening.

When they used the F word, it was really those 2 appliance movers speaking so it was ok.

ETA: People understood context back then

Straits. And Sultans of Swing is one of the greatest guitar songs ever made.

I heard this song is about some guy getting pegged by his girlfriend every morning.

Check out Telegraph Road live from the Alchemy tour. It’s incredible.

Knopfler is one of the GOATs. His solo stuff is also good. A lot of people don’t know that he wrote the score for The Princess Bride.

I like how they just pause and shoot the shite for 30 or 40 seconds during the middle of the song. Like Mark is asking Eric if he wants the solo and Eric is like, uh, you do it, I can't play that.

That is an incredible song. Pretty sure it's about The Telegraph Road that is just south of Detroit. Every time I go through there, I think about that song, and how accurate it is for that place.
