Never knew Sting sang the MTV line!

best Dire Strait song ever: Brothers in Arms (ask every veteran)

also, the video money for nothing has the distinction of being the first music video done with computer animation.

Heartland Old Guy, the song hit home to alot of working class woman and men

Queen

Too bad censorship has ruined the song

Chris RN

I read that Dire Straits decided to ‘rebrand’ themselves. They decided to write music that they thought would be appreciated by the boomer generation. Good choice!

InvaluableBook2, In Sean of the Dead, isn’t that the first LP that gets flown at the zombies?

I thought it was very clever of them to title their 'greatest hits' compilation "Money For Nothing". Think about it...
