Legendary ‘70s Rocker, 75, Celebrates 47th Anniversary of Beloved Hit Song
The band have created countless hits, the two most notable being "Money For Nothing," and "Sultans of Swing."
The latter song was their first big hit, propelled by the vocals and unique guitar playing of Mark Knopfler. Knopfler has been the driving force of the band's sound, and his unique finger-style guitar technique has provided his playing an unmistakable sound.
"Sultans of Swing" is an instantly recognizable, classic song because of Knopfler, so of course, he deserves to celebrate the song's anniversary.
The song is incredibly important in rock history, and fans recognized this in the comments.
"We just do not get stuff like this anymore. Incredible."
"What a song."
"A glorious masterpiece."
It's safe to say that the song has stood the test of time. We'll all be rocking out to this classic for many years to come.

Princess Andre says ‘a lot went on' in Katie Price's ‘Mucky Mansion' and it was ‘scary'
Princess Andre, the daughter of former glamour model Katie Price and pop star Pete Andre, has said she was afraid while living in her mother's Sussex home as a child. Price, who had split up from Andre in 2009, moved into the house in question in 2015. The house was made famous on the Channel 4 TV series Katie Price's Mucky Mansion, which documented the mum-of-five's bid to transform the neglected property into a 'forever family home'. The 18-year-old said the property was 'a really scary house' and 'a lot went on' at the nine-bedroom home while she lived there. 'I didn't really like it,' she told The Guardian, adding: 'I guess when you have bad experiences somewhere you don't like the place.' She did not elaborate further on her experiences there. In 2021, while Price was living in the mansion, she separated from her third husband, Kieran Hayler, the father of two of Princess's siblings, Jett and Bunny. That same year, Price had a serious car accident while under the influence of alcohol and drugs. She received a 16-week suspended jail sentence and was banned from driving for two years. This occurred while Princess and her other sibling, Junior, were living elsewhere with their father full-time. 'There was a period of time when me and Junior actually had to live with my dad,' Princess told The Guardian, referring to a 2019 family court order made public this week by Andre. A spokesperson for Price told the paper she was 'at peace with the situation'. Price, who put the infamous house on the market for £1.5m last August, said that vandals had come to the property and thrown acid over her pink Range Rover in the middle of the night last May. 'Scumbags outside my house on my private property,' she said of the ordeal. 'I can't wait to get out of this house in a few months' time.' The reality star bought the mansion for £1.35m in 2015 from former Tory peer Francis Maude and said, during an appearance on The Louis Theroux podcast, that she's convinced the house is 'cursed'. Price, who was evicted from the property last June after failing to pay the mortgage and being declared bankrupt for a second time, said the 'haunted' house had brought her nothing but 'bad luck'. 'I've had nothing but dramas, trouble and bad luck in that house,' she told the presenter. 'I go back there and I look outside and… the house just looks sad.' The model said that starting afresh in her new home has given her a 'new lease of life'. When Theroux insisted Price must have had some good times in the Mucky Mansion, Price replied: 'Not really no.' Last December, it was reported that the Mucky Mansion was under offer for £1.15m after the price of the property had been slashed to £1.35m in October, having failed to sell for the initial £1.5m asking price. Princess, an influencer, now moves between Price's new home and her father's house in Surrey. 'Dad's house is a lot quieter, a lot more peaceful, a lot more organised,' she said elsewhere in the interview. The 18-year-old is starring in her own ITV reality show The Princess Diaries, which her fathers appears in on camera, while her mother is only heard briefly on the telephone. 'Because I'm living with Dad at the moment, he was in it more,' Andre explained of Price's absence. 'It was never true that I didn't want her in it.' The Princess Diaries is on ITVX now.

County Durham home salon approved despite neighbour concerns
A Chester-le-Street woman has been granted permission to run a hair salon from her home. Joanne Proctor, of 32 Coquet Drive, Perkinsville, applied to convert a self-contained bedroom into a part-time hair salon. The extension, which has its own front door, kitchen, toilet, and garden access, was initially given planning permission in April 2024 and is already built. Durham County Council made the decision on August 12, despite receiving three objections, including two from neighbouring properties. Concerns raised by objectors included noise, potential anti-social behaviour, parking issues, and a "loss of privacy" due to the side door being used by clients. One neighbour at 33 Coquet Drive expressed worries over "noise and disturbance from equipment, conversations, music, and comings and goings including from additional vehicular movements" and "loss of privacy due to clients using a side door that is next to their property." To address these concerns, the council has imposed several conditions on the salon's operation. These include serving only one customer at a time, by appointment only, with a 10-minute gap between appointments. Additionally, windows and doors must remain closed during treatments. The salon's opening hours are restricted to Tuesday 9am to 4.30pm, Wednesday and Thursday 9am to 6pm, Friday 10am to 4pm, and alternate Saturdays 9am to 4pm. Recommended reading Meet the Teesside RuPaul's Drag Race star joining Strictly Come Dancing 2025 Busy summer of wildlife, remembrance and reminiscence at Middleton Hall The 'hypnotic' stingray-like animal that roams our beaches all year round The salon can only be operated by Ms Proctor and her daughter, and must revert to residential use once they vacate the property. The salon will use the standard Durham County Council bins for both general and recyclable waste. Highways Authority and Environmental Health (Nuisance Action Team) raised no objections to the plans.
