I am no good at admitting errors of judgement, or mistakes in general. Rather than admitting I slowly merge my wrong with my right. So slow that no one will notice, at least that is what I hope.
One of my many musical errors, and the one I only know start to admit (a good 30 years after the fact), is my early dismissal of Dire Straits. Sure, they are not Major League as far as I’m concerned and compared to giants such as Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Frank Zappa Mark Knopfler’s guitar playing always has been too sweet and easy (he practically invented the Middle of the Road guitar solo), but as I grow older I start to reconnect with some of their work.
In that process I remember how I once loved ‘Brothers in Arms’, the last song of their hugely successful album with the same title. It was 1985. My alternative image should have prevented me from liking it. I was 16 and I loved it because I had a crush on a girl who happened to love Dire Straits. ‘Brothers in Arms’ is not a song about love, but in my youthful brain it just radiated love and longing.
Not as bad as another association I made around the same time, when I linked The Velvet Underground’s ‘Pale Blue Eyes’ with another crush, only because she had the most beautiful eyes in the world. Only later I found out the song is about adultery.
I know it now. I admit my mistake.
Write more, thats all I actually have to mention. Literally, it seems like as though you
used the video to create your point. You clearly understand what youre
talking about, why discard your intelligence on just posting videos to
the site when you can be giving us something
enlightening to learn?
I was recommended this blog by my cousin. I am not sure whether this put up is written by way of him as nobody else recognise such targeted about my problem. You are amazing! Thank you!
Funny. I don’t go as far as dismissed, because I always enjoyed it when it was played somewhere but I never really got into them or owned a Cd. I also realised that was wrong so I bought 4 or 5 CD’s a few months back. Absolutely addicted to Tunnel all Love at the moment.
That’s indeed very funny. Guess we got old and less dogmatic, my friend…or just sentimental 🙂
