Hard Working Boys: Dire Straits, Coldplay, and Wally Pleasant!!!

Dire Straits put out one of my “Favorite Songs of All Time” on their “Love Over Gold” album. The song features tricky wordplay along with many catchy riffs. There’s plenty of factory “sound effects” to make the song sound authentic.:

It’s been ten years since Hurricane Katrina. I still can’t fathom the awful conditions that caused 1800+ deaths and all of the flooding for weeks! At the time, there was a benefit that featured Coldplay. I had thought they were a pretty good band at the time. Bit after having heard them play “Fix You” one of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded [GSER], one of the Greatest Videos, I felt better. That there was hope. I bonded with the band for life! :

And it’s not Labor Day weekend without Wally Pleasant’s “Stupid Day Job!”
