Skateaway

[NicholeW.]

Nothing like being interested in nothin' and just watching a video of a song you really used to love.

Makes me think of the Tauentzienstrasse back in the day. Heck, even the Ku'damm.

Oops, raining again. I think God has made the sun go away from PA as well!

Dire Straits - Skateaway: Video

One of my favorites, no pretext, no flash, no heavy PR, he just plays, but as we say "if you can't bring talent, bring production" and all Mark needs is his guitar.  Speaking of which, Les Paul passed away today, someone who really did change the world.

I always thought this was one of his most poignant songs (perhaps one of the few truly poignant songs ever), and in this setting, at Wembley, playing for the Nelson Mandela concert, it just brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.  Its like, he does have a clue as to what reality is like.
