Enter the Tunnel of Love
It’s been sitting there on this site for almost a year now. You may not have noticed it. It’s an essay (or whatever you want to call it) called “The Good Bit”, and it’s mainly about Tunnel of Love by Dire Straits. It contains a personal story of a fledgling guitarist (me) in the shadow of a professional (Mark Knopfler), and draws an amazing parallel to the late Douglas Adams and his novel So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish. I think you should read it. I mean, you should read both. Start with my piece, please.
