(with Mark Knopfler)
When my parents divorced, my father left a truck for my older brother, who was six weeks shy of his sixteenth birthday. In the center of the vinyl bench seat was a wooden cassette holder with “Camelot Records” – remember them? – not printed but burned into the front side, and there were five tapes in it. Phil Collins “No Jacket Required”, Boston “Don’t Look Back”, Genesis “Invisible Touch”, Head East “Flat as a Pancake”, and Dire Straits “Brothers in Arms”. He was an addict, my dad, and, honestly, I cannot deny that my mother drove him to it, but when he left, he was gone for three years. I was always a “Daddy’s Boy”, so I jacked those tapes and clung to them like my life depended on it. And it’s funny how, even now, 10 years after his death, all of them are among my top twenty-five faves.
I can close my eyes and hear every nuance of “Brothers in Arms”, the song, to this day. No doubt, it is in my top-ten favorite songs, period. Knopfler is genius.
