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.

I can see it now.

Hagar · 11-21-2006, 05:10 AM

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.

Clodfobble · 11-21-2006, 10:47 AM

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

Sundae · 11-21-2006, 11:34 AM

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?
