More than 400 vendors have brought out their wares to this amazing event. I got there right at 9:00 am and things were already moving. Lots of super nice, friendly people, reasonable weather, and tons of amazing finds.

Dire Straits 'Money for Nothing' The Sting Factor

3 weeks ago | wcsx.com | Donielle Flynn

It's easy to listen to Dire Straits 'Money for Nothing' and almost forget that Sting is a part of the song.

But in both cases, the contributions of these artists made the songs into something more. It's a song about two dudes selling microwave ovens and it is nothing short of culturally impacting. The song needed to be a conversational duet.
