Yknow because you put all the Telegraph Road stuff into your sig and title, I hadda go back and listen to it. Now I tell you I have treasured this record for two decades, but only this morning did I put it on and realize...
Knopfler is absolutely channelling early Springsteen on that song, and for most of the album too! I say channelling because I don't think he wants to BE the English Bruce. I think he's not directly copying, he's just intentionally bending Bruce's way. But here's a song that, in the Bruce 1973-1980 tradition, talks about ordinary life in the crappy industrial suburbia of north Jersey, I mean, northern English coal towns or whatever you want to invoke with it. And why not put a little clean tinkly piano behind the loud parts like Bruce's David Sancious would do? And tell Pick Withers, who has a trademark light touch, to slam that snare really hard like Max Weinstein would do. |

That was always my response to someone shooting a bird at me... until the cane/wheelchair of course. If I tried now, I would just tip-over. That would not have the same effect.

Ok, fixed the "Marked Private" bit. I'll have a go at a better (and slightly more revealing) one tomorrow... What's there is a bit pathetic.

Hagar, you sound just like the Take Home Chef we have on TV... maybe you don't have that show though.

Great to hear from you Hagar!
Now we just need two more from you - 1 reasonable length face to face - 1 of a drive (with commentary) through the beautiful Australian summer Or is that being greedy?
