knopfler on the guitar ...

i have a particular affinity for this blurb:

" (that's right) i collected from the lady, and i cleaned the fan light inside out
i was blowing saxophone on the weekend ... in a dooooooown joint!"

plus "kerouac's dharma bums and on the road"

i fucking love it!

with songs like They Own The Media and and Stand and Deliver. I guess antisemitism and anti-science is cool if you are a pop star.

His two month long 75th Birthday celebration on YouTube got me through last fall… but then he went way off the deep end, the damn genius.
