I was sadly only familiar with the edited version at first. When I heard the edited version I thought, "Those bastards!"
Then I also found out the Sting sings back up on this tune. This song OWNS!! |

I'm so glad Pandora plays the unedited version of this song. I despise the edited version.
Long live Pandora! |

Rockers often take themselves waaaaay to seriously. I love rock with a sense of humor.

Makes me remember the "real" days of mtv(music television video) and college in the mid-80's - Saw Knopler do this as an encore with eric clapton in concert- That was a great night.

I had a major crush on Martha. I wonder what she is doing these days. Nina Blackwood has a syndicated radio show, but it's more commercials than music, and she also sounds like she smokes eight packs of Camels a day. As for the album, I think it may be their best, but Making Movies is my favorite. The disc Knopfler made with Emmy Lou Harris is really good if you haven't checked it out.

Ah yes, back in the days before MTV went from being MUSIC TELEVISION to being MORON TELEVISION!
I want my MTV...back! However, I'd happily settle for just Martha Quinn! I still love you Martha! |
