Are the hippies starting threads about trannies now?...

Damn... I feel more religious https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-fc-2212&ei=UTF-8&hsimp=yhs-2212&hspart=fc¶m1=7¶m2=eJw1i0sOgjAQhq8yS01MmT6VcgxXhriopWBDoUQgGE%2FvkGhmMd%2F%2F6mJTV%2FfrjSNKqWR9uo%2BkSZWEe4QCuRAk%2FO7TjxOBMIjWeH2xgoC3TltdGtv40FqnlbcPXSKVu5Cpvc6EqyMa8iem5ArNEA5bHJu8zT...

Anybody know who that kid was? He had some tone....

[quote]I worked for a couple months up there. my hotel was only a few blocks from the studio. unfortunately, my schedule never allowed me to actually visit the studio [/quote] Was The Biscuit House still open?...

Bout to do it in a little bit :lol:...

I've probably watched it 10 times....

I've always thought that " Private Investigations" and "On Every Street", are intersecting songs. Same situation, from different points of view. One of the best opening lines of any song, is in "On Every Street". The line is : Somewhere your fingerprints remain complete....

I'll be playin at an interstate overpass near you....

[quote]if you;ve never heard it, seek out the album knopfler did with chet atkins [/quote] I think they did 2 albums together....

[quote]Why do you think they called him Guitar George? [/quote] I don't know, they call some bald guys "Curly" and big guys "Tiny"....

I'm a big fan of Dire Straits and Knopfler in particular, just such fantastic songwriting about mostly average lives. He makes heroes of everyday people, in incredible situations. Corn Beef City, is kick ass. The guys out stealing fuel to keep his equipment running :lol: https://www.youtube.com...

[quote]Do you think guitar George really knew all the chords? [/quote] I don't know, Knopfler sounded pretty sarcastic in that line though :lol:...

[quote]The Man’s Too Strong[/quote] Love it musically, he makes the most of that resonator guitar in that song. I never thought it was his best work lyrically though....

[quote]Telegraph Road is a long time favorite.[/quote] Almost went with this song, it's really great, and if you've ever been to the Telegraph Road area, just south of Detroit, you get exactly what the song is about. Fantastic piece of writing....

[quote]First album, first cut, huh? [/quote] It's a masterpiece in every way....

[quote]How often does a driver have to wait for something?[/quote] Quite a bit, waiting get loaded and unloaded. I had to sit for a whole week in Boise, Id. once, in the winter, because the local beer distributor had no room to put the beer they ordered. [quote] He's getting paid by the hour, ...

[quote]I guess you don't think that the current schedules are designed around the abilities of human truck drivers? And you don't think the loading and unloading will be more and more automated as well?[/quote] No, the current pickup and delivery schedules are determined between the shipper and hi...

Down To The Waterline...

[quote]I think you are absolutely wrong. You don't think delivery companies want their trucks moving 24/7 vs. maybe 12/7? [/quote] So more expensive trucks can wear out twice as fast? The number of hours that a vehicle can really operate are determined by loading and unloading schedules. I...
