Great tune to catch-up with. I always loved Mark Knopfler’s sytle. Love Dire straits everysince I was in my “late” 20s. He surely is one of my handful fav.’s guitar players. Without any ranking, the deep emotion sound and style of Green, Clapton, Santana, Moore (RIP), Gilmore always called me back again! I was so lucky living in that era of superb guitar players. Opssss of course … missed to add: Notting Hillbillies are a treat for those who feel the love in music…I’m with them on that!

@ItsFrankieBoy
You don’t have a CLUE about pro wrestling–it’s all about the CHARACTER, and the Hillbillies were an affectation like that never seen before since Jed Clampett.
It’s gone to SHIT since the golden age shown here, now it’s nothing but flying faggots and Halloween-party rejects.

Uncle ELmer, probably the LEAST talented, least athletic, least threatening, least exciting character the WWF has ever seen.
