Here Comes Johnny Swinging Oldies Goldies

Today's video is probably my favorite song from the group known as Dire Straits. Ok, so I wasn't the biggest Straits fan, but I liked today's song and today's video which features a montage of sports clips throughout the video and of course it features lead singer Mark Knopfler wearing a sweet headband. It's "Walk of Life"...
