Mark Knopfler teaches Romeo and Juliet
>> ^gwiz665:
It was a typo! Nonetheless, yeah Dire Straits are brilliant.
>> ^ChaosEngine:
Awesome. I know it's "cool" to hate Dire Straits, but I think Knopfler is one of the most underrated guitarists around.
btw, DGDGBD is open G.
After years of playing guitar (badly) I'm really just beginning to start to commence a possible understanding of the instrument
Been toying with open tunings and it's great fun. Can really open up some interesting possibilities.

Nice tits.
Honestly, I was curious as to why you would upvote it if you had issues with the content. Anyway, I apologize for the misunderstanding, I thought the statement was directed towards me. I retract my elitist reference comment!
In reply to this comment by Payback:
If you would note, I upvoted your video. I can downvote if I want, but I seldom do. I saw no reason to. I'm all for debate. I was attacking the outcry about the "censorship", not the poster. Try to not take it personally. If you posted a video about pedophiles, I wouldn't think you were one.
Also, there was nothing in my comment that attacked you personally, so as for the elitist characterization, "Fuck you very much."
As for the lyrics being offensive or not, Mark Twain was talking about a man everyone in that part of history felt no issue calling "Nigger Jim". Twain, like Knopfler, was just passing that along in HIS story as well. I'm against censorship, I'm also against sensationalizing minor things because they diminish the large ones.

Oh PULEEASE! It's deemed offense for PUBLIC AIRPLAY. No one is out confiscating fucking CDs. The use of the word IS pejorative, by the way. He's using it as a demeaning term.
This makes me howl. Down in the States, the clean versions used for YEARS. You want to know what I think is ridiculous censorship? Getting rid of "Nigger Jim" out of Huckleberry Finn. Discuss THAT, not this non-issue.
Yes, well when you can tell me how to fit all that into the title I'll change it.As far as the use of the word in the song being demeaning in this context, I'm sorry but your 100% WRONG! He's quoting something he overheard two appliance delivery men said about musicians. NOT directing the statements to anyone in particular. Wow you're just as quick to judge as they are. I bet you didn't even listen to the song or read the lyrics to see exactly in which context the word was used before passing judgment either. Jewel's "Pieces of Me" uses the term faggot as well. I suppose they'll have to ban that song too huh? The one thing you are right about is it is a non-issue, hence why I posted it.
Here's a few more they missed. http://blogs.westword.com/backbeat/2011/01/canada_bans_money_for_nothing_but_still_missed_a_few_offensive_songs.php
[Edit] The title is fixed your highness.

Mark Knopfler holding the audience in the palm of his guitar
Fantastic video.
Knopfler, like Paige before him, was a top session guitarist. When this song won the MTV Video of the Year in '85, an animation, we knew we were witnessing a paradigm shift. I mean, look at the vid. Wow. The olden times, huh?

Hey man, this video (http://www.videosift.com/video/Mark-Knopfler-and-Eric-Clapton-Sultans-of-Swing) is amazing, but there is a much higher quality version (of the audio at least) I came across here:

You haven't begged or promoted it, so people obviously didn't get the chance to see it. This performance is brilliant and I'll have you nailed to a cross if you discard it again
In reply to this comment by radx:
Four votes in over two months says it's not wanted, so I'll give it another 12h, then I'll discard it ... again.
Feel free to submit it yourself afterwards though.
