Mark Knopfler and Mason & Dixon

[Otto]

"I suppose any good work, like the Pynchon book, makes you think about the
present. It's a book about many things. And in a way, a song is only an
attempt at a miniaturisation of something like that - it's a huge great
baggy book, which goes in any one of a million directions. So, if you like,
the song is my three-minute take on a three-year book. (.) There's a line in
an early Wim Wenders movie - that America has colonised our
consciousness." - Mark Knopfler
