Title: Warning! Edited Version!
Review: I was pleased with this collection, until I realized that the entire second verse of "Money For Nothing" had been edited out. I assume that this was done so as not to offend sensitive ears with a derogatory term for male homosexuals, which was used as a shorthand device to make no doubt of the ignorance of the song's narrator. And Knopfler has always maintained that the song came from an actual conversation that he overheard. Too bad that irony is lost on the do-gooders, and that they have taken a song that makes a blistering point and have removed much of its power. A complete disgrace. Politically correct morons, 1, Rock and Roll, 0. I sure hope these people never listen to "Rednecks" by Randy Newman.
Is the review positive or negative?
