Cover art for Rüdiger lyrics by Mark Knopfler

Brilliant Song off the Golden Heart album. About a stalkerish person...

MK (Live In London '96) : " I actually wrote the words to this tune about 15 years ago about the time John Lennon was murdered ... It's really about the sort of fan, you know not a music fan, I love the music fan's, they're fantastic ... this is the sort autograph guy who just wants Saddam Hussein's autograph and everyone elses; It doesn't make any difference to him as your well known ... I wrote the song Rüdiger, that's his name Rüdiger."

Love the last line! Very creepy: "But your name's in the paper so Rüdiger's there"
