Mark Knopfler performing "Brothers In Arms" in Berlin, 2007.

The lyrics describe the experience of soldiers on the battlefield.

Mark Knopfler uses metaphors and similes to describe the cruelty of war and the importance of loyalty and mutual support among soldiers.

David Bowie - Starman (Top Of The Pops, 1972).

This performance is one of the most essential pieces of music television ever broadcast.

It has influenced generations of musicians and writers who saw it at the time and countless others who have since seen it over the decades.

It’s my reminder to you that SNL’s Synchronized Swimming is the best short film ever made.

@ThatEricAlper I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

@ThatEricAlper I was sitting alone on the empty patio of the Rosedale dinner having breakfast when Geddy Lee of Rush came in, also alone, and sat at the table beside me with a coffee and the paper. I didn’t want to bother him so never said a word. Just sat next to each other in silence.
