I have a few bootlegs from Dire Straits in my collection. ❤

My “closest to hearing a famous act” story involves Quebec City, a music festival, and the Rolling Stones. Never got anywhere near where they were playing, sadly.

I did get to see Pink Floyd in 1994, though.

Well, I ain't superstitious
And I don't get suspicious
But my woman is a friend of mine
And I know that it's true that all the things that I do
Will come back to me in my sweet time

But just because a record has a groove
Don't make it in the groove
But you can tell right away at letter A
When the people start to move

also I grew up in the US. I don’t think Dire Straits was known widely until Brothers in Arms 😉

Dire Straits…one of my all time favorite bands. While my first introduction to them was Brothers in Arms, my favorite song comes off of Love Over Gold. And yes, I have both on vinyl now 😉

Need more Queen on vinyl, especially since my other half is a big fan.

Now you just don’t remember
All the things you said
And you’re not sure you want to know
I’ll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show

I don’t need those keys day to day, so it wasn’t a huge loss.

the absolute worst thing about the keyboard on that model WAS the touchbar. Especially when Apple provides no way to completely disable it when it goes mental short of continually killing a process to make sure it never activates…

After asking for a new Mac from the day job in September, I finally got a new one this week: MacBook Air M4. This will replace the MacBook Pro M1 with a janky touchbar I've been using for the last few years.

Other than a much better keyboard and a smaller onboard storage, I'm hard-pressed to tell the difference in performance.
