Thanks knopfling! :)

Very good reading!
I`ve read his comments on the Private Dancer solo elsewhere too - at first i thought he must have been given to sarcasm and was actually honouring Beck, well since then i`ve heard the song and, well really it is sh!t - very bad, sounds typically 80s - so i think Mark meant what he said in a literal way?

I don't think Mk would have made those comments unless he had already made JB aware of his feelings. He is not the type to air his laundry in public. I am sure he had a laugh with JB over how bad it was.

Simon, I have the very same DS pin. I love it!
-
Glad to hear it - I thought mine might be the only one in existence! I bought it on the 1979/Communique tour. It's a little jaded but it is a constant reminder of the early days.
-
I'm going to Ebay to check for that pin. So cool.
-
I saw some DS pins for sale on Ebay. There're also DS vinyl car stickers.
-
The same pins Sweetsurrender?
-
Hi Simon,
The description from the seller said " DS 1980 guitar promo pin" It looks the same to me except the color looks kind of blue.
You can get it for about $13.00.

I think I got my pin in '85 at Chicago Poplar Creek BIA concert.
I'd love to have vinyl DS car stickers!
-
Hey Knopfling..........THANK YOU for posting these links! ;)

You're welcome, Fieneke.

It looks just like the pin on your avatar, Simon, but black where yours is red. Also, it's on a white rectangle background. It looks cracked in the upper right, but that wouldn't matter. Sweetsurrender, I already have one of those, but thank you so much for finding it and posting. Looking for OES and BIA tour pins especially.

knopfling, I was thinking about the vinyl car sticker also. Must be so cool !!! The price was quite reasonable. If I remember correctly, then it's about $6-7 for a smaller sticker. There's even one sticker that says " got dire straits ?" LOL.

Sweet, I'd pay that much or even $10, but I don't do Ebay.
