Money for nothing and your chicks for free
Money for nothing and your chicks for free
August 2, 2006
Seeing Lig's piece on MTV reminded me of the Dire Straits track, `Money for Nothing.' Not Straits greatest work (for that, go to `Making Movies' or even the first album, `Dire Straits' with the brilliant `Sultans of Swing' and `Down to the Waterline' -- though Knopfler's latest album, with Emmylou Harris is also well worth a purchase). But `Money for Nothing' was interesting, and it had one of the greatest, chunkiest guitar openings in rock history -- approaching `Gimme Shelter' by the Stones.
