    Great, great, under-rated album...."Love Over Gold" is another good one. Hell, I even enjoy "Twisting by the Pool."
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    Hah, I saw Sultans he very first tme it playe down Countdown in Austtralia, and was blown away from the opening phrase.
    Saw them live in 1981 at Festival Hall in Brisbane, two awesomw moments, one when he came out with a Dobro for Romeo and Juliette and the whole stage was dark except for a single spot on his Dobro throwing light all over teh place, amazing, then they played Telegraph Rd, even though it was not realeased at that stage.
    Saw them again in about 1987 or so, bigger venue, to far back, but still awesome.
    Music is not a competetion.

    Good band, although I absolutely hate Money For Nothing...
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    It was a great song the first 500,000,000,000,000 times that I heard it (or saw the video :D )
