Knoffler himself had this to say this in 1985 ... >>The layers of irony in “Money for Nothing” have certainly confused people. I got an objection from the editor of a gay newspaper in London - he actually said it was “below the belt.” Apart from the fact that there are stupid gay people as well as stupid other people, it suggests that maybe you can’t let it have so many meanings - you have to be direct. In fact, I’m still in two minds as to whether it’s a good idea to write songs that aren’t in the first person, to take on other characters. The singer in “Money for Nothing” is a real ignoramus, hard hat mentality - somebody who sees everything in financial terms. I mean, this guy has a grudging respect for rock stars. He sees it in terms of, well, that’s not working and yet the guys rich: that’s a good scam. He isn’t sneering.<< btinternet.com Anyway, by 1990 he was censoring it himself ... the guy in pink didn't seem to mind, though. <g> youtube.com
