This song just came up on my stereo and just as every time I have heard this song, I was immediately drawn into the groove. It was nearly 30 years ago that this song poured out of my radio speaker and I experienced it for the first time. I fell in love the song and Dire Straits at the same time. I was in graduate school at the time and music radio was degenerating into disco and other worthless uninteresting fluff. “Sultans of Swing” was like a slap in the face, a call to wake up and listen to a real music again. The story Knopfler tells in this song is as evocative as his guitar work. Thank you Dire Straits!
