One of the many consolations about running your own not-for-profit[1] wiki is you can decide what the hell to put on it. The JC loves guitars as you all know, and does like a good rock song.

As a young fellow growing up in the 1980s, the rock band Dire Straits, then a colossal global dinosaur, was about as uncool as could possibly be. Not only because it was a colossal global dinosaur (“commercial”, we sneered, and went back to our bootlegged tapes of Joy Division gigs in Belgium),[2] but because its music was so unapologetically middle of the road and its band-members so square.
