She had all the brains and the beauty

...I've loved Dire Straits since Makin' Movies was released, in 1980. John loved them too, and one of their songs is one of my theme songs. They're heavy, for me, with decades of meaning and resonance. I love it when people randomly remind me of things I turn out not to have forgotten.

Heavy Fuel

Skateaway

Tunnel Of Love

Sultans Of Swing

The Man's Too Strong

...thank you. So much.

(Breaking me out of the brainbleeding obsession with that Scissor Sisters song was just a bonus.)
