Sorry, my bad I forgot the album was named after the worst song on said album. I thought you mean the SONG "Brothers in Arms" which is kinda shit compared to the mad excellent song "Money for Nothing". Like... theme song for "Enterprise" shit. Frank Sinatra "Soundtrack to a vasectomy" shit.

But that's pretty easy to have happen when talking about a what, two or three hit wonder? I mean there’s MFN, Walk of Life, Sultans… and we’re done.

Hell, Lady Writer is just a lazy writer remix of Sultans. After all Guitar George knows all the chords… yup, then he plays all three that he knows. Or “private investigations” where it’s one giant intro of twinkly non-commitment, the song ends five minutes in and you’re still waiting for it to start. There’s more “meat” in a John Carpenter penned ‘80’s movie soundtrack. (Like Escape where it’s the same chord progression as PI)

And yes, in a LOT of cases people do use JavaScript for NOTHING. From things that have no business being scripted in the first place due to accessibility concerns (SPA and other AJAX driven content, scripting only behaviors), to stuff that HTML and CSS can do just fine without JavaScript's help (mobile menus, modal dialogs) to just plain code bloat that accomplishes NOTHING the vanilla language cannot do cleaner, simpler, and in a fraction the effort (pretty much EVERY client-side scripting "framework")

So much of it is "work" that accomplishes nothing but corruption.
