And, again, I'm not trying to "sound like" anyone, just using my
natural sound. In my opinion Mark Knopfler has a great sound. So
sounding "like" him I consider praise, a compliment, but I agree that
I don't think I sound that much like him, either.

That's interesting, MP, can you name three or four of these million
dollar musicians?

"And, again, I'm not trying to 'sound like' anyone, just using my
natural sound."
To me, Will's got a raisin sound;
a crazy phrasin' raisin sound;
the bestest raisin sound around.
I'll tell you where Will can be found.
Will's down around the lost and found;
not too far up; not too far down.
I praise that raisin, phrasin' sound.
That raisin sound's the best in town.
Too scoop the news, and right on que,
in terms of views in sight to you,
I tell you now, and Will defend
my raisin box unto the end.
Raisin relations here isn't quite easy, see.
Raise this one up a bit;
come on, and sing with me.
Raisin' my Will up here.
The Reason is Raisins, see.
When you hear Will you hear
Raisin's Love, naturally!
I LOVE RAISINS!!
To me, Will's got a raisin sound;
a crazy phrasin' raisin sound;
the bestest raisin sound around.
I'll tell you where Will can be found.
Will's nowhere near the lost and found.
He's too far uptown; down by Brown.
I praise that raisin, phrasin' sound.
That Raisin Sound's the Best Around!
Too Scoop the News, and Right on Que,
in Terms of Views in Sight of You,
I tell you Now, and Will CONstrue
MY Raisin Box like TWO + 2.
Raisin' relations here isn't so easy, see.
Raise this one up a bit;
come on, and sing with me.
I'M Raisin' my Will up here.
The Reason is Raisin' C.
Will you hear Will here?
See Raisin' C, naturally!
(Too scoops, but three Raisins like; like there was three Raisins, I
mean Reasons, that I think Will reminds me of a Raisin, like there was
Raisins A,B, and of course Raisin' C, and Will chose Raisin' C of the
three, and that's why I love Raisins, of course!)
Are you saying that you think rather than sounding like Dire Straits,
I sound like the California Raisins to you?!?

No sir, absolutely not. I've heard you, and think you sound just like
you. Thank you. Love, and laughter ever after.
That's what I'm aiming for, after all. I won't say "thanks" because I
know how much you hate that.
Okay, have a nice day.
Will do.
Thank you; now fuck off.
Actually, I should have written "Will *try* to have a nice day."
Okay, sure thing, Will, although I have no fucking idea what "Will
*try* to have a nice day." even fucking means except that you're
playing sadsack again with no money for christmas presents, and you
want to get your kids something nice that you've had your eye on and
bla, bla, bla like I haven't heard it a thousand fucking times before,
and from every bum I pass in the street. So how much do YOU fucking
want already? Look, I'll send you guys money if that's all it fucking
takes to quit you crying, okay? You can have what I've got, and
believe me it ain't fucking much after I buy my son that fucking
whatchamacallit ... that's software thing for photographers,
PhotoShop, that's what he wants. After that, you can split the rest.
Just shut the fuck up about try to have a nice day, and HAVE A NICE
FUCKING DAY ALREADY, GODDAMMIT!!!
