This Dire Straits is pretty refreshing, NTM.  Like it.

Ya can't go dissing the Big Man.  So I'd noted at Bruce concerts that Clarence wasn't looking too spry.  I wondered if he was sick, but it turns out he's just old.  67!  I had no idea he was that old.

ETA: Speaking of the Big Man, BOS for Dire Straits tribute to Clarence.

This reminded me that in September of '85, in the space of about a week, I saw Dire Straits three times and Springsteen twice. Quite a week. Oh, to have that much stamina now.

TANC: I was listening to a newly discovered AAA/Classic rock station from Corvallis yesterday, and they played The Man's Too Strong. At the time, I thought, "wow, haven't heard this in awhile."  So of course I should have known it would pop up again. Soon.

Btw, the station has the semi-unfortunate call letters KLOO. They pronounce it "clue" but every time they spell it out I think K-LOO and thank god they don't have many listeners in the UK.

LOL!  "Mummy, I did a K-POO in the K-LOO!"

BOS3 PSBs, as predicted. proxy of Gaz.

TANC: I just made a mix this morning which included this PSB song. Hearing it twice in one day is really too much, though.

between that Jindal thing & the Reagan clip I've got the Rant about the Right Wing thought process going in my head right now, so I can't help but visualize Karl Rove singing this song to W.

I've got the brains.  You've got the looks.  Let's make lots of money.

Dave was on his segue game when he made this set.

Ferris borrowing the Ferrari -> "Life's What You Make It"
Reagan denying the whole Iran-Contra affair -> "The Man's Too Strong"


Add to the list:

the GM rep closing the Flint plant & adding "there is nothing for them out there" -> Give me "Strength"

Dire Straits 3x?  whoa.

I saw them once in 85, too.  Stevie Ray Vaughan opened up for them in toronto.  He was one tough act to follow, and I'm afraid Mark & Co., weren't up to it.  Apparently their light show wasn't functioning and the resulting show did seem to lack something.

More politics: Jackson Browne makes his 2nd appearance, which is two too many, even tho' I like this song.

Yeah, I was totally over the moon for Making Movies and Love Over Gold, and I'd never seen them so I kinda went overboard. Two shows at Concord, and one more in Sacramento. Then a couple nights off, then two nights of Bruce at Oakland Stadium at the end of the BITUSA juggernaut. Probably not the best place to get the full Bruce experience.

Haven't seen Straits since, seen Bruce many times since.

it's not 1986 without a WOS, and since we didn't get Bryan Adams, I'll WOS one of the ugliest guys in rock (which is saying something):
