Most of the time, I'm tone deaf. Every now and again I get a break through.

I'm also sitting at work, doing mindless, repetitive computer tasks, and good music *really* helps!

BB!

and I am also a big fan of Mark Knopfler.

Somewhere, I once saw a post or an article that Mark got mad because a McDonald's ran a local family owned fish and chips place out business, through price undercutting, etc. The story went that a friend of Mark's told him to read Ray Kroc's autobiography, and the rest, as they say, is history. The song has actual lines from Kroc's book in the lyrics.

Yep...I loves me some Mark Knopfler.
