Hahaha well I enjoyed the rambling. Especially the part about "a Bulgarian dissident named Georgi Markov was stabbed with a poison-tipped umbrella in London." lol what the hell?!? That's crazy.

Listened to both Dire Straits tracks and love them both. It's not the kind of music I grew up listening to but it's similar to what I may have heard my Dad listen to (sorry to age you in that way 🤣). It's reminiscent of driving with my Dad somewhere and him throwing on some of his favorites. I love it.

Not a bad idea to share some of my own favorites! Although I'm gonna have to say it would be wildly different than what you have listed here hahaha I don't know if I could do it by year but maybe era! Like my high-school era or something. I'll make sure to tag you if I go through with it. I've been doing a lot of photography stuff, might be nice to break it up and dive into something else I appreciate.
