listened to Pyroman from the LA concert (2001.05.20, new source) this morning, and never understood people's fascination with this song, such a simple stomper. yikes
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

At the time I believe I’ve read the reason for leaving One More Matinée off the US release wasn’t it being too British, but the lyrics containing the word ‘bitch’. Putting the song on the album would require a sticker ‘containing strong language’ or something like that. Not something that would be fitting to Mark.

That's actually hilarious, never heard of that. Seems legit to me, but still too funny.

That clearly didn't follow, as Don't Crash The Ambulance has 2 swear words.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Yeah, not a great song in my opinion. Junkie Doll too.

"Sailing to Philadelphia" is a much-lauded album, but there are too many skippers for it to be one of my favourites.   Of course, there are many songs on the album that I enjoy listening to a lot, but, because of the four or five skippers it is towards the bottom of my list of MK solo albums.   Maybe time will change my opinion, but 20 years is a long time trying!
