Dire Straits

The most useful way to divide the body of music created by man, is into Dire Straits, and non-Dire Straits.

Once you've learned to appreciate the subtely and refinement of Knopfler and company, every other artist pales in comparsion.

Eric Clapton has admitted an inferiority complex because of Knopfler's majestic guitar stylings.

Dire Straits: will there ever be a better band?

"Dire Straits is the only band that plays like an organic whole" -- Bob Dylan.

Dire Straits

A awesome band, who plays tightly, amazing guitar solos, very unappreciated in the younger generation, and that's a shame because this band "played as an organic whole" - Bob Dylan
Probably the most popular of their songs (lthough they wrote many good songs) is "The Sultans of Swing"

Damn man I cruise to the dire straits album in my tempo. It's the best cassette I own.

strait edge

Abstaining from alchohol,drugs, and casual sex. This definition comes from a song sung by the underground 80's punk band minor threat from Washington D.C. whose lead singer Ian Mckaye sang about how abstaining from aforementioned things was cool and gave you an edge up on drug users and alchoholics.

The kids didn't drink at the party because they are strait edge.
