When I heard this music I think that nothing changed in the last several years. The Dire Straits gibe at the musicians who is not better or delicious like the others from the street. Basically I think they don’t want to see in the stage bands or people who is not musicians. Some producer or somebody else make a “band” who make a new music which is on the top of the charts but after one year nobody will remember of this music.
So, if I understand correctly Mark Knopfler’s words from 1984, I can accept the Dire Straits over view. If you see the Dire Straits biography or Mark Knopfler biography and how many disc sold and sell in the markets and compared for example with Bross. Who remember Bross kind of band. Maybe some people who had some good story from this years and that’s all.
Today when you drive you car and listen a radio I am sure you can hear Mark Knopfler or Dire Straits and close nobody form their competitor. Basically I remember lot of things about the 80’s but beside the Dire Straits I don’t remember too much things.
So, back to Money for Nothing it is a very good song and If you like the 80’s rock music you should listen it and If you have a young musician you should learn what this music tell you. If you want to make a good music, it must come from your heart. Don’t copy any other people either other band. You should be independent and unique.
