I recently picked up Knopflers new CD "Shangri-La". (It's excellent, get it..)

The second cut on the disc is a tune called "Boom-Like That". Only a genius of Knopflers calibre could have pulled it off.

I had given it a cursory listen when I first brought it home, a real toe tapper. I liked it from the get go, but only today as I was driving to work did I pay attention to the lyrics.

Now most great rock songs have themes like Love, Hate, human relations of some sort, drug issues, etc...

Only Mark Knopfler could have written a song about the history of Ray Kroch and the beginnings of McDonalds.

I about died.. This song is a classic Knopfler/Dire Straits ballad about Ray Kroch and how he bought up a San Bernadino burger joint and started the largest fast food chain in the known universe...

Unbeliviable.. It's just sheer unadulterated genius...

GREAT Song........
