Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / MK on Brexit

« Last post by dustyvalentino on Today at 12:18:19 PM »

Comments from an interview in the Radio Times:

"I think the Government has totally betrayed the musical community with Brexit. It’s just a nightmare trying to operate from Britain now in the music game. They said they’d take care of the music business, but they didn’t.”

One Deep River / The Boy / Re: (20) Wrong ’un

The other day listening to the lyrics, I don't know why, I thought this song could be for his daughter Issy, when he broke with his boyfriend, someone who is an actor I can't remember the name, when the last tour, more or less, Issy was posting many pictures with him ane suddenly all of them disappeared and he was never seen again.

What if the song is for Issy and the wrong 'un is his ex boyfriend?

Don’t know much about the actor (Charlie Field) but I’m reasonably confident he doesn’t have a record as long as his arm.

I can confidently say that this is the most beautiful song on the EP. And one of the most beautiful songs in the entire MK catalog.

Of course! This cannot be ruled out and Mark will never reveal his inspiration anyway.

General Discussion / Re: Best sounding bootleg of Dire Straits

Boston 6th October 1985 sounds fantastic and represents the band at their peak of popularity and, in my opinion, performance terms too.
