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 see we disagree about Dire Straights and Knopfler. One of my favorite bands and artists.
And yes, I've seen Knopfler both with Dire Straights and solo.
