Why didn't he? Was it really too late?

Yes. Rock was still a young man's game then

Do you reckon there was a time when anyone could earn fame by playing guitar? Probably the 50's.

this probably took over 10 hours to render back then

>undeservedly rich faggots ruthlessly mocking working class schmucks: The song
How the fuck did they get away with this?

>>127168760
That's kind of Knopflers thing
Sultans of Swing is also about Knopfler laughing at the less fortunate

>>127168760
Hes not mocking them

>>127168463
It was still a thing in the 80s.

He's mocking and criticizing them. The whole point of the song is that the working class schmuck is making up excuses for being unaccomplished while being stupid enough to think it's harder work to move color TVs than it is getting on Knopflers level

>>127168818
The story is he was at Sears or something and saw the workers there sitting around doing nothing and complaining and yet still making money

>>127168760
Knopfler is jewish

>>127168907
Sultans Of Swing is also another song mocking unsuccsessful goyim

>>127168859
The point is that to these guys hes just an asshole with a guitar. Thats why it stuck with him.
