Walk of Life - Dire Straits. I was obsessed with that song. I heard it on the radio, but because this was the 80s there was no internet to look it up and figure out who sang it. So it took a couple years before I finally figured out who sang it. Then I bought the tape, and I listened to that shit so much. I still love that song.

You know how you can go years without considering something and then, BAM it gets mentioned several times in one day/week? That's been Dire Straits for me of late. A guy at work let me know that his brother in law is their drummer and then they've been mentioned several times now on Hubski this week.

Dire Straits everywhere!

Walk of Life is a fantastic song. When I was a kid, my uncle played the keyboard line for me on his hammond organ and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Then he played Van Halen's Jump and I knew it was the coolest thing ever.
