Romeo and Juliet

I was out, cruising the information superhighway (which nowadays looks in sincere need of a "keep cyperspace clean" campaign to reduce the cluttering ads...the mind boggles at how much bandwidth is being eaten by this cretins) when I ran across, on YouTube, my favourite music video of all time...Dire Strait's "Romeo and Juliet".

It is not that it is the best produced video, especially by modern standards, but it has an integrity, borrowed from the song (which still speaks to me like a drunken oracle across the decades) that makes it beautiful).
I recall weeping the first time I saw the video, the resonances for times in my life are decidedly there.
