This is a normal post Speaking of songs that namecheck MTV...
I recently learnt that 80s anthem Money For Nothing originally contained this charming quatrain:

See the little faggot with the earring and the make up
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

Somehow I completely missed this, or forgot about it. The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

This is a normal post Now listen to the whole song
all of it...

"I should have learned to play the guitar"
From one of the best guitar players in the last forty years.

Learn what sarcasm is (or look it up) and learn what songwriting is.

I'll just put this here for you:

This is a normal post Now read this
all of it...

The song adopts the voice of a persona. A bitter and chippy delivery man. The persona uses the word 'faggot' specifically to offend because he's jealous.

But there's no sarcasm, the song is portraying a character, you fucking moron, I suggest it is you that needs to look that word up and learn what songwriting is.

I'll just put this here for you:

I was also making the point, obviously went over your little head, that social mores (look it up) change over time. I'm arguing that the offending lyrics are more offensive now than when they were contemporary. Hence the L P Hartley quote. Or did that go over your head too?

It was a conversation Knopfler overheard while in a store in NY.

This is a normal post I never liked the song, I always felt it was the weak link on Brothers in Arms. My favourite was the eponymous debut.

This is a normal post Pay attention you shit-gobbling gibbon-fucker.
You couldn't be more fucking wrong if you were balls-deep in a four-year-old. You should have your fucking head-dobber snapped in half and shoved in your eye-sockets, so that you can never inflict your complete fucking brain-wrongness on anyone again.


Actually, I have to agree - the default method to disagree with others has become personal invective. It's not exactly making the place a pleasant place to be.


You cunt.

This is a normal post Sorry for standing up for myself when attacked, insulted and wrongly accused of ignorance. How utterly pathetic of me.

This is a normal post I don't know if you are being sarcastic now.
My reply was directed at the response to your initial comment, not at your reply to that response, which I can clearly see was just a reaction to the completely over the top rant in the aforementioned post...M'lud.

This is a normal post If I want to be over sensitive and paranoid I think I'm entitled to be. I'm being attacked on all sides now. I'll take at least one down with me.
