I mostly stopped it though because I hate Dire Straits and mark Knopfler is a headband-wearing fool. Walk of Life was a really catchy tune, though. i will give him that much. btw, the sports bloopers version of the Walk of Life video....VASTLY superior to the "communist soldiers in the tunnel" version.
I can't comment on the music, I had my computer on mute since I am at work. I watched most of it, and I didn't feel that low income people are to blame at all. I think you should have watched more of the video.
